The translation of that word is as follows. dia διά pronounced dee-ah is the Greek word. Which is a primary preposition denoting the CHANNEL of an act. Jesus is shown as the main artery through which blood can flow. Christians being the blood and THROUGH HIM as the only way we can flow. Without HIM as the Artery...WE cannot function. I want you to note how many times Jesus speaks of THE HEART. Now stop and think of it in a spiritual context and you will then see the truth come as a reality to you. Meditate on it for a while. See JESUS as our life....by which we have our flow...."In Him and through HIM, we live and move and have our being"!!!!!

The majority do not always act for the universal good, they can be selfish and despicable. Rather like the majority of Hong Kong Chinese who would drown refugees rather than give them sanctury or their idea of promotion of Human RIghts was to advance the claims of the majority whilst disregarding ethnic minorities.

Kind of like "mob rule".
The idea that some people can force their will on other people, just because the first out-numbers the second.

He's talking about democracy. Even when the majority is in favor of something, it's not always right, but you have to abide by what they say.

It only works if the unjust expression of power by the majority somehow contradicts their own determination of justice, which doesn't seem possible.

Social oppression against individual will.
You are expected to think, feel, do as social norms dictate.
If you act otherwise, you'll be compelled to comply or be outcasted.
