People downvoted you but there’s some truth here. There’s only one thing that comes to mind:
> 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.
I know, I know. Nobody is killing anyone, so let them close any group they don’t like. It’s not a problem amirite?
- abootstrapper 6y agoIt’s more like: First they came for the fascist but I didn’t speak up because fuck those guys. Then they came for the meme stock traders, and what the fuck even is this timeline. Bottom line is corporations are self serving, and the poem doesn’t really hold up to what is happening.
- listless 6y agoThat first paragraph is straight up poetry
- smattiso 6y agoHonestly that's so perfect.
- andyyv 6y ago> First they came for the fascist They told you they were fascist and you believed them. Right now there are people calling WSB a bunch of nazis. See how it works?
