Tyrrany is oppression by a person that is in charge. This can be an authority figure, a government worker, a professional expert, or a foreign helper.
Its not just telling everyone what to do or refusing to listen to the population, its not explaining why certain decisions are being made and not giving the population an opportunity to avoid those decisions. This can result in a waiver of liability for the expert, worker, authority, or helper.
Refusing to explain, give options, listen to suggestions, or review alternate proposals is tyranny. Its removing the concept of choice for an area and not providing perceptions of why certain decisions have very few or hardly any alternate choices.
This can be done by a very large group that gives no thought to very small groups or individual persons, or it can be done by any size group that is aggressive, loud, obnoxious, or violent. Things like being obnoxious, can prevent people from voicing their opinions, so can being much louder than everybody else, or using up all the time for proposals with a very long list of requirements for their proposals.
Many people consider using up all the time in an open meeting for just one persons voice the same thing as being loud.
In well planned areas with good government workers, up to date workplaces, and available amenities and socialization activities, rights are an expectation not a suggestion.
This means things like privacy, free speech, freedom of expression, and right to legal hearings are an expectation of things that people have available to interact within their living areas. They are viewed as not much different than basic animal rights and the first step in having living areas with a high level of peaceful enjoyment.
Deprivation of rights can occur because of tyranny but it can also be present because infrastructure for those rights was never built or because the context of those rights have not been proposed or discussed in the local living area yet.
Financial privacy and medical privacy are the main privacy rights people think of when thinking of privacy. But it can also include communication privacy, relationship privacy, events privacy, learning privacy, and workplace privacy. By default is another person is not being affected by a persons behavior their is often a privacy right. Even if a person is being affected by someones behavior, such as being emotionally distraught by someones perceived financial status, if the behavior is not illegal, there is additional layer of privacy available.
People have a right to express themselves and to ask questions about any of their proposed behaviors that were illegal at the time of proposal. They also have a right to publish and speak about their behaviors and why they find them acceptable, or to remain private about the reasoning behind those behaviors.
Removing these rights is a deprivation, and can often result in a criminal offense for people depriving others of their rights.
