@pinsk that's simply not a reasonable way to approach the world.
No, inaction is not action. Inaction doesn't have the effect of action--it has no effect. This is just putting words in people's mouths and then criticizing them for things that they literally didn't say, positions that they absolutely didn't take.
It's pretty antisocial to normalize that kind of approach.
