...if they fail to oppose them? If members of a democracy fail to try and non-violently / politically oppose and protest (a freedom they wouldn't have under a dictatorship, thus validating their freedom and ability - if they wanted to - to eradicate injustice by their government) against unjust policies (with the aim of their utmost ability to eradicate them), are they guilty of neglecting a political duty they have as democratic officers that have elected their government and pay taxes, partake in the economy etc, and are thus in the same boat of accountability as the government itself? Do we not have a duty as members of a democracy to politically participate in the struggle for world justice (if the injustices we hope to eradicate are being acted out by the government we elected and taxpay of course)?
Of course, we have in general as individuals a duty to care for our fellow humans and try to preserve justice etc as much as possible, but the point of democracy is the accountability of the people due to their electing and choosing that government and taxpaying it and participating in its political/military hub: the economy.
P.S. Do you find it also arguable that, on the basis of the aforementioned/established duty of democratic officers, their media misrepresenting what's happening overseas (or indeed even not mentioning them) doesn't necassarily invalidate their culpability, but on the contrary, only reaffirms their guilt for failing to recognise their duty as democrats for taking responsibility for the government's actions and thus keeping up-to-date on their policies (via reliable sources rather than just the media)?
The minority will solve nothing. Only the majority working together (by recognising their duty and free advantage of fighting gov. injustice if they wished, unlike if they were under a dictatorship) immediately have prevented actions like, for instance, the Iraq War.
