The idea that a fact is irrelevant unless the majority is in the support of it. Not talking about democracy, but the idea that day to day normal stuff can become unbelievable or irrelevant if the majority disagrees with it .

Like for example in an islamic country the idea of god, or allah is a fact. He exists, but athiesm as an idea might seem unbelievable to a person living there. I thought of it as a more of a hypothetical idea so there might be fault in my example

Here's an example. Wearing masks before Covid was and is the most effective way to stop the spread of the flu. This is an incontrovertible fact. Yet no Westerner wore masks during flu season, until Covid.

Majoritarianism? The "majority" doesn't have opinions anyway, they take their cues from whoever has higher social status. The 20th Century should have taught us this.
