The person talking not withstanding, this speech is great. A sad irony being that those people most in need of these words will not learn a thing upon hearing them. They will only become defensive and all too ready to argue.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.”
