Reply #82: Complicity doesn't encompass knowledge after the fact. [View All]

[baby_mouse]

Complicity requires the active attention of an *accomplice* to a crime. One cannot be an accomplice to a crime being committed about which one knows nothing. From the supposition that one *can* proceeds the inescapable conclusion that everyone is complicit in the Holocaust because we've all seen photographs of concentration camps. Extending the definition of the word "complicity" to include cases of crimes past being observed by disinterested parties will succeed in rendering the term virtually meaningless, and little else.
