Quote hell
"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."
- John Stuart Mill
People post this quote for very large swathes of causes, such as Environmentalism (Climate change, climate justice, et al). Surely not everyone is responsible for everything. Some do not even recognize a responsibility according to their own moral code.
The use of evil is worth noting. If "good" means "in my interests" then "evil" must mean the opposite.What if injury to a specific person is in my interest?
