Simplified Meaning:

When people in power, like tyrants or dictators, mistreat others, they can only get away with it for as long as the oppressed people allow it. If the people who are being treated unfairly decide they've had enough and stand up against the tyrant, they can stop or change the situation. Think of a bully in school—if no one speaks up, the bully continues to be mean. But if the students tell a teacher or defend each other, the bully loses power because the students no longer accept the bad behavior. This idea teaches us that change happens when people decide to take a stand and not accept unfair treatment anymore.
