> Staying silent isn't an endorsement of the status quo.

Yes, acceptance of the status quo without active opposition is endorsement of the status quo as good enough.

It may be “good enough” because you actually approve or “good enough” because it's too far down your list of priorities to do anything about right now or “good enough” because you can't even be bothered to care what's going on, among other options, but it all effectively amounts to the same thing in practical terms, however different they might be in terms of your internal feelings.
