It took me 38 years to understand and more importantly, accept the concepts he's talking about.

(I was born in 1963 so maybe you can figure out what big event altered my way of thinking on that.)

He overstated it a little by using the word "about". But what he's really saying is that freedom is only possible in a civil society, otherwise it turns into a sort of mob rule in which the powerful limit freedoms through unlawful force.

Edit: now that PH added the context you see what I mean. Read Kos diaries at your own peril because those fuckers are well off the reservation and into their own little dreamland reality.
