Wow! Reminds me of Martin Niemoeller, a Protestant minister in Germany under Hitler. His words: “First they came for the Socialists and I did nothing ...”

Quit repeating that tired old propaganda.

Here is the full version.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Trade Unionists is code for communists.

Socialist speaks for itself.

None of those groups ‘speak for me.’

And ironically enough, if you got rid of the socialists and trade unionists there most likely wouldn’t be anyone left to ‘come for you,’ except jihadists.

Socialists and ‘trade unionists’ ‘came for’ about 120 million people last century. They deserve no sympathy. Anyone who ‘came for’ socialists would be doing the World a favor.

Don’t do their work for them. Niemoeller was no friend of the right wing.
