Decisions have consequences, doing nothing is a decision.

"doing nothing is a decision" is a legitimate position you can argue for, but it is not some kind of settled moral fact that you can just assert without any justification.

It's less a moral fact and more a fact of life. If you don't pay bills you get late fees then stop getting the service. If you don't study you don't do as well as studying a little or a lot. If you don't make a move on the girl you like someone else will and/or she'll move on. If you don't stop facism...

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

In politics the don't vote and vote third party are essentially the same of doing nothing until ftfp is fixed.
