Ochlocracy
オクロクラシー。衆愚政治。ポピュリズムの成れの果て、暴徒（Mob）による支配を指す。

Ochlocracy
Rule by the mob. It is the ultimate outcome of populism, referring to governance dominated by crowds driven by passion rather than reason.

Perhaps we are witnessing the rise of a "Kakistocracy"—government by the worst, least qualified, and most unscrupulous citizens. Or is it "Ochlocracy," where the mob rules, fueled not by reason, but by blind fanaticism? We are staring into an abyss that defies all political definition.

生成AIを使って、大学で使う言葉を、子供にも分かる言葉に置き換えてもらった。

民主主義　→　みんなが声を届けられる仕組み
公共性　→　みんなのためになること
正義　→　みんなに公平なやり方
合理性　→　筋が通っている考え方
主観　→　自分の感じ方
客観　→　みんなに共通する見方

学生が嫌う言葉を避けて、子供向け言葉で代用したとしても、授業が面白くなるとは思えない。

A study even shows that avoiding the word "democracy" is more effective for getting people to engage with local news. Are journalism and democracy reeking of rot?
ニュースを理解してもらうため「民主主義」という言葉を使わないほうがいいという調査結果がある。ジャーナリズムにやデモクラシーは腐臭を放っているのか？ #journalism #democracy

Please read the column by Al Jazeera’s Belén Fernández as well. She slams the NYT's publication of these articles as "genocidal journalism."

Journalism has a watchdog role, but that alone doesn’t fulfill its responsibility. It must also be a good neighbor to those who are suffering or marginalized. If prison newspapers could be realized in Japan as well, I would be eager to contribute.
