“See, people with power understand exactly one thing: violence.”
— Noam Chomsky

Simplified Meaning:
People who have power often rely on force to get what they want. For example, if a ruler of a country wants to keep control, they might use the army to stop protests. Instead of talking and finding peaceful solutions, they use violence to make people afraid and obedient. This shows that their way of holding onto power is through threats and fear, not through understanding or kindness. To apply this idea, we should recognize that real strength doesn’t come from hurting others but from bringing people together peacefully. We can choose to solve problems by talking and understanding each other rather than using force.
