I’m not thinking of things like reporting a possible assassin to the FBI, I’m thinking of things like living in a country with a, let’s say, morally reprehensible leadership. Say, Stalin’s Russia or Hitler’s Germany. And you’re a regular person, you just go to your job every day, you don’t shoot anyone or personally interrogate enemies of the state. Of course, you do go to the party meetings, but then everyone does. To what degree are you complicit in the doings of your state?
I do not imply that there is One True Right Answer.
