extortion

Read a random definition: ideological aggression

A quick definition of extortion:

Extortion is when someone uses force or threats to make someone else do something or give them something valuable. This is a crime and is not allowed. It's okay to negotiate with someone, but it's not okay to use threats or force to get what you want. Sometimes, people in positions of power, like government officials, can also use their power to commit extortion. This is also not allowed and is against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Extortion is when someone uses force or threats to make someone else do something or give them something valuable. This is a crime and is illegal.

For example, if a person threatens to hurt someone if they don't give them money, that is extortion. Another example is if a public official uses their power to force someone to do something for them, like giving them money or doing a favor for them.

It's important to note that not all negotiations or deals are considered extortion. If two parties are negotiating a contract, they cannot use threats or force to get what they want. However, they can use legitimate negotiation tactics like making something look better than it is (puffing).

Overall, extortion is a serious crime that involves using force or threats to get something valuable from someone else.
