When a dweller of a dysfunctional society or shitstem is imbued with a conscience, and is committed to collective honesty, he cannot sit back and watch collective affairs getting bastardised. So he’ll be caused to speak his mind. When he does, the genuine amongst his will know he’s doing the right thing, whilst some whom that right thing means ‘no longer dodgy business as long as he's around’ will hate him.
They'll speak ill of him whilst pretending to be good to him, causing him to be misunderstood, and the opinions formed on him subjected to frequent changes. Some will be like: he’s a cool guy. He’s just being a whistleblower - as if that's a badge of shame. Some will say he’s just been spiteful, but to others he's got nerves; better than being a socio-wimp I guess.
His presence will intimidate the depraved, and they'll want him ostracised, asking others to be careful of him because he’s dangerous, and all because of his bizarre honesty. They’ll try to put him in trouble, but by God he’ll always pull through. If such a society is lucky, his will attract support from those like him. Otherwise he'll get tired, and the collective integrity that he wanted to instill crucified, but posthumously understood and celebrated. Now whether that wouldn’t be too late an effect is what I doubt.
