   Being neutral about injustice is to accept injustice.

     Very George W Bush of you.

     "You're either with us or against us". - its a rephrased false dilemma fallacy.

     And, who's definition of "injustice" are we using?

     @sashin Yes, the toot above :) Although I’m far from first to attempt to express the sentiment. See, for example, Desmond Tutu’s excellent quote on the subject.

     @aral Shakib Arslan, a Lebanese writer and literary figure, said that neutrality in the face of injustice is the greatest lie. Silence is not neutrality, but rather complicity with evil, because it allows it to persist.
     Thank you, Mr. Aral, for not remaining silent and for standing up against injustice. You are a great man.🩵🙏

     @baraa1998 Thanks, Baraa. And Desmond Tutu said something along the same lines too. But I’m just a regular person and that’s more than enough. We shouldn’t need “great men” – in fact, great men are usually the problem :)
