Better would be: The world is a dangerous place because of evil people. People who don't stand up to evil aren't helping.

For anyone who's always wary of quotes attributed to Einstein, the original text: "Er [Pablo Casals] hat klar erkannt, daß die Welt mehr bedroht ist durch die, welche das Übel dulden oder ihm Vorschub leisten, als durch die Übeltäter selbst."

Google Translate has that as "He [Pablo Casals] clearly recognized that the world is more threatened by those who tolerate evil or abet it than by the evildoers themselves." So... A paraphrase, rather than a quote, but not a radically different meaning.

J6 was an insurrection and the perpetrators are released and some are being decorated as heros. Does this mean that our choice is a bloody civil war or an honorable insurrection?

I disagree. Because there was always a choice. They could have chosen freedom and enlightenment. They chose the exact opposite and it's happening again now, in real time. People are scared. They don't act because their children will be who suffers, should they choose wrong. It's a hefty price.
