I didn't read that Pierce was advocating any particular course of action. I thought he was remarking from a more historical perspective.

Pierce was being realistic, maybe fatalistic, but as you mature you learn to pick your battles more carefully.

Getting all Don Quixote, especially about things that don't affect you, will do you, or the people you support, no good.
Restricting your activities to being honest about your views, is not akin to complicity.
