First they came ... - Wikipedia…

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then 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 out for me

Funnily enough, I’ve seen people get angry elsewhere that this poem gets repurposed and used elsewhere because it’s “specifically about the holocaust and should never be used for anything else.”

it… it sickens me. when I first watched The People v. Larry Flynt I thought to myself “thank god this period is over”. Even as a dumb teenager. Then I learned about 2 Live Crew and… the awful, terrible injustice they had to put up with. There are still people living off the charges who sold their records.

We need to end this.
