Remember that old saying - Silence equals consent? I've used it myself but have revised. Silence only equals silence. Consent is not silent.

Wait, so you're saying many germans in 1940 weren't hateful jew-haters, but terrified citizens beaten into silence? CRAZY TALK

Just because staying silent can be wrong still does not mean that silence is consent. Consent is consent. Silence is just silent.

As we all know, if you aren't loudly screaming at the top of your lungs, you are clearly just as evil. Not a victim of power.

We do bear responsibility for "silently letting things happen" though. Different from enthusiastic consent, but not blameless
