Then the words “accomplice”, “collaborator” and “facilitator” would not exist.
I believe countries, families and things in between can be guilty of stuff.
- sokoloff 3y ago“accomplice”, “collaborator” and “facilitator” are all singular nouns rather than collective nouns.
- Jcowell 3y agoSingular nouns can still refer to a group of people. there’s only one United States of America but there country refers to the people that live in it. “Italy was an accomplice to Nazi Germany during WW2”

When those things have internal organization and hierarchy and structures that lead to them making a consensus decision and acting as a whole, then yes, they can be "guilty" for some values of guilty. Where's the decision-making system for all white people?
