Until very recently, I'd been signing off with Mors Tyrannis - "death to tyrants".

I am am thinking of switching to "Mors ad Tyrannidem". - "death to tyranny". Who is going to object to bringing tyranny to its condign end? It removes yet another sliver from which the Tyrant's lackeys can gain a foothold on you for being a "domestic terrorist"... not that they really need pretexts anymore, but why not make them work for their ends as much as possible? It neatly collapses to the acronym "MAT".

MAT
 
For my opinion,

I very much prefer "death to tyrants". It's actionable, understandable, and conveys that there are specific people responsible
"death to tyranny" on the other hand, is abstract, open to interpretation.

And if you're being black bagged for saying "death to tyrants", then that only goes to prove, it's been allowed to go too far already.

Agreed. Simply look to Virginia's ex-Governorship and the state motto.

I don't think anyone with an IQ needs for the black bag team showing up to know things went too far long, long ago.

I agree, it's a bit late in the game to be signing off with either "Mors Tyrannis" or "Mors ad Tyrannidem"

What is the latin phrase for "Actually Tyranny is Fine I'm beginning to like the flavor of this boot" ? Seems more appropriate.

Or the slightly more generous, "Death to Tyrants Eventually I Swear Not Now But Eventually Definitely"
