Neutrality Is Violence

To do nothing to prevent violence is itself a form of violence.  There is no neutrality.  If you are an active reactionary or a passive observer, either way you are allowing the oppressive status quo to maintain its hegemony.  Dissent is necessary.  It is a moral imperative.  To speak out against oppression and exploitation is the least we can do to counter the hegemonic ruling class.  We must continually come up with more creative ways in which to resist the powers-that-be.  A successful revolution redeems all previous failed revolutions... and isn't today a good day for a revolution?
