"کسی که قدرت دارد شما را وادار به باور چیزهای مضحک کند، قدرت دارد شما را وادار به انجام بی‌عدالتی کند."

Simplified Meaning:

When someone is able to convince you of things that don't make sense or are ridiculous, they can also make you do things that are wrong or unfair. Imagine a situation in history, like the propaganda used by leaders during wartime to convince people to hate other groups without good reason. By making people believe false and extreme ideas, they got them to support harmful actions, like discrimination or violence. In our everyday lives, if someone tells us lies or extreme stories and we believe them, we might act in harmful ways toward others based on those false beliefs. It's important to think critically and question what we are told, especially if it seems odd or extreme. By doing so, we protect ourselves from believing nonsense and from doing things that hurt other people.
