Tyranny, or a tyrant is somebody who forces you against your own will to do things their way.
However, in today’s world, there is no such thing as real tyranny, at least in America. Nobody could force you to do anything against your own will, besides pay taxes, with the risk of death, or being put into jail.
This is the foolishness of a lot of modern day liberals. When Donald Trump was still in office, they would call him a tyrant, and call America a tyranny. But that is actually not true at all. I think people throw around the word, tyrant, like dictator, or like an evil Nazi, as a form to denigrate somebody.
In our normal, every day lived realities, technically, nobody could force you to do anything against your own will. They may throw a fit about it, but, it is up to you; how badly do you care to fight about it? I would say take a barbell approach, for 99.99% of things, just let others have it their way. However, when it comes to the .01%, which is insanely critical to never budge.
