Autocracy
The latest assault on the English language and many others is the use of the word autocracy. No one has been more autocratic in their governance than all the western leaders who triggered shutdowns, mandates, forced business closures and ultimately mandatory vaccines and vaccine passports. None of those rules, regulations and mandates connected in any way to COVID came from democratic authorization. None of them were passed through the legislative process. Every last one of them came from unilateral fiat and powers grabbed as a result of emergency declarations.
