Sometimes, the majority is false because it only includes those with power. Sometimes the majority is not just wrong but actively selfish and maybe just a little evil.

Good point. I mean, look at the Australian referendum on giving Indigenous people a voice in that country.

If human rights were based on majority rule we'd still have slavery.
