Haikoup #8 | The Tyranny of the Majority
*This is an audio version of my YouTube video, which you can find here: https://youtu.be/lbFHF6JmCEo I analyze how thinkers like Aristotle, John Stuart Mill and Alexis de Tocqueville thought that majority rule would problematize democracy. I also place the idea of the 'tyranny of the majority' in a modern context to answer a central question: How democratic is modern democracy when the populace is overcome with fear, emotion and hysteria?
