My point being that while we see Odo successfully reclaim his critical faculties (ie not just ignore the things outside the rules which are morally dubious), I think it’s easy to imagine a lot of timelines in which that did not happen.
IIRC, we even see one? (I need a rewatch.)
My point is that while I think there’s nothing morally wrong with anything Odo did, I also acknowledge that in “reality”, fascism and authoritarianism are ideologies which quite strongly tend towards comformitism. So in all likelihood, if put in the same situation as Odo, a lot of people might conform to the ideologies they might know are bad.
Ugh, I feel like I’m explaining my view rather poorly.
Yes, I agree.
