Inaction is the sum of it though. Neutrality is benign, but you should probably remove it anyways, right. They aren’t holding up their end of the bargain in a society, which is unfortunately taking a side on things. Not being at the table does not make them complicit by and large, but it allows it to happen.
They also allow good things to happen that they don’t necessarily agree with, because they stand aside and grumble to themselves and their tiny circle if not outright ignoring it. It doesn’t mean they should not be involved but humanity as a whole has a pact mentality, whereas it’s someone else problem, where are we going today?

Isn’t allowing it to happen being complicit though? I’ve always been taught that if you stand there and watch some bully beat up another kid, you’re taking part in the bullying
I don’t think there is a “right” answer. They allow good things to happen too, are they responsible for that as well, or just the bad things that happen? Bystanders are simply a fact of life, it’s the doers who bear the responsibility. Look at mob mentality as an example.
