Summary

This quote suggests that fear societies are characterized by the absence of dissent. In such societies, the governing authorities prohibit any form of opposition or disagreement. This lack of dissent implies a restrictive environment where individuals are afraid to express viewpoints that challenge the established order. In fear societies, there is no tolerance for diverse perspectives or conflicting ideologies, leading to a suppression of freedom of speech and expression. The quote highlights the stark contrast between societies that encourage open dialogue and those that impose restrictions on dissenting voices.
