About This Quote

There are many forms of tyrants, but there are none so terrible as those stifling their own people in the name of freedom. This quote is saying that there are many ways in which a tyrant can be destructive, but one of the worst is when the tyrant is pretending to be for freedom. The irony that the tyrant is doing the very thing they say they stand against is lost on them.
