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

-- Pastor Martin Niemöller

I know, many people know the Niemöller poem, and posting it may even feel tired, like a trope

But times like this, there are reasons to remember why the words have power, why they originally resonated with you

There will not be much time left to speak up, at this rate.

@cwebber And another tidbit I consider important: Niemöller was a Nazi supporter in the beginning.

@cwebber I believe that we now live in a world where "speaking up" is so cheap and so easy that "speaking up" - a symbolic act - no longer poses the threat it once did. As long as we don't have the will or the concentration or the coherence to organize, to coordinate persistent actions in a way that will significantly disrupt the way the world works, the powers that be are happy to have us "speak up"

@cwebber

Swap some nouns, it's 2025

So much irrationality.

I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.

We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.

Plan Civil War 2.0, unless you know past fascists who left non-violently? Know anyone in the military?

@dpk @cwebber Not just the poem, trans science were the first books to be burnt.

Berlin was probably the most queer friendly city of its time, with it being home to the first gender affirmation surgery.

When the nazis took over, they really didn't want any gender studies surviving.

@cwebber

can we have this *not* be a timeless hit?

Föderation EN Di 15.04.2025 13:52:48

@cwebber First, they come for all the money to hoard!

Föderation EN Di 15.04.2025 13:55:40

@cwebber People really just aren't getting this and we're already on the third one or fourth at this stage (only a few freaking months in!) I guess.

@cwebber What is Learned ? ----no one cares until it is too late. Advisors or cabinet sec. think " He would never turn on me .... Never. "

@cwebber this post of yours combined with this post:

Are together a powerful reminder of where we are and where we are headed.

@cwebber Still true but I believe that it is women's rights that are the canary in the coal mine. I wonder what it means that women were not mentioned. As a man, I would suggest men have a lacuna in that area
