I think about this passage all the time. We're surrounded by meta-debates about the most effective and savvy forms of resistance but moral clarity has its own purpose.
Quangel cast a sharp glare at the lawyer, his proud, old, tough bird-glare. ‘At least I stayed decent,’ he said. ‘I didn’t participate.’ The lawyer took a long look at the man sitting there in silence. Then he said, ‘I have to say, I think my colleague who defended your wife was right: You are both mad.’ ‘Do you think it’s mad to be willing to pay any price for remaining decent?’ ‘You didn’t need the postcards for that’ ‘That would have been a kind of tacit agreement. What was your price for turning into such a fine gentleman, trousersand polished fingernails and deceitful concluding speeches? What did you have to pay?’ The lawyer said nothing. ‘You see!’ said Quangel. ‘And you will continue to pay more and more, and maybe one day, like me, you will pay with your life, but you will have done it for your indecency!’

The USA has a hard fascist right wing, a center right liberal wing, a center left progressive wing. What Americans call “progressive” is laughed at around the world, for it is so relatively centrist and reasonable. Wanting healthcare for all is not an extreme position. It is basic sanity.
