Given a choice, I'll cast my lot with the masses.

Then a lemming you would be.

One man of moral clarity is a majority in a sea of ignorance, vanity and nilism.

I was talking about the choice between the political elite and the masses. We apparently differ but I believe that the chief enemies today of "moral clarity" are the political elites. In fact, I would argue (and Jefferson would agree with me) that the best example of a "lemming" would be someone who blindly trusts his political leaders. If you want to find that rare commodity of "moral clarity," you are far more likely to find it in the ranks of the masses (though there too it will be hard to find) rather than among the politicians.
