After a certain part of consolidation of power and headway made in co-opting the machines of governance from covert or subtle fascism to overt fascism, some will have to do a calculus of how far to comply with a certain amount of actions in order to maintain positioned to resist more effectively at more critical junctures as fascism trudges on.
A good example is Quark in the mirror universe, who only lasts I think half an episode. Would perhaps he have been more effective in the long run lasting longer? Did he already make certain compromises in order to maintain his position of influence for a righteous cause?
or Kai Opaka, somewhat more or less disagreeably, when she ratted her son out to save the slaughter of a valley settlement.
Your mileage may vary, but the point is to AVOID GETTING TO THAT POINT in the first place by stridently resisting in place, like a tree in the river as that famous Capn America speech goes.
