Dictionary.com's 2017 Word of the Year: "complicit" http://www.dictionary.com/e/word-of-the-year-2017/
includes a lengthy essay about why it's the word of the year, closing with:
"Our choice for Word of the Year is as much about what is visible as it is about what is not. It’s a word that reminds us that even inaction is a type of action. The silent acceptance of wrongdoing is how we’ve gotten to this point. We must not let this continue to be the norm. If we do, then we are all complicit."
