The best example of this is Ozymandious revealing his plan and everyone's excuses to why they should go along with the plan.
Manhattan sees only the logic and doesn't care for millions killed in NY. Apathy.
Lorrie only sees all the bodies and blood and is lost in grief.
Dan compromises, rationalizes by saying it's above his pay-grade.
All the while the scene zooms in on Rorschach's mask before he delivers his line.
The whole of watchmen tries to paint collectivism as a good thing yet ironically because Rorschach exists, there will also be someone somewhere who'll leak files, help someone wanted and generally be subversive even to their own detriment. Because their morals and convictions mean more than going along with the herd.
