At what point of tyranny do people feel that tyrannicide is ethically justified? Similar to being a toxic charismatic, it seems as this is up for debate based on one\u2019s own personal preferences and beliefs. Moreover, a toxic charismatic leader could easily manipulate people into believing that another leader is tyrannical and thus justify to the people why that leader should be assassinated. Language can be easily molded and with persuasive speech this could be possible. However, Andrade states that this (tyrannicide) may not accomplish much if the tyrant is very popular, even if they are hated and could actually spark up more tension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I thought it was interesting how George distinguished between doing it for public benefit and for one\u2019s self.

However, it is easier to think of this happening in the past, rather than in today\u2019s society, especially somewhere like the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much of a tyrant must one be for someone, in particular, someone with utilitarian views, to feel morally well about tyrannicide.
