So, basically what it's saying is a little conflict and disagreement is a good thing. Once a society, or group has reached a point where nobody is willing to upset the apple cart and disagree for fear of the social consequences, the society will fall.

The same concepts can be applied to smaller groups such as an online forum for example. If nobody is willing to speak up with an opposing point of view because of the belief those in power will shut them down, then the end is in sight.
