Chimportant Poetry for our Tim
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

"First they came ..." is the poetic form of a post-war confessional prose by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals and certain clergy—including, by his own admission, Niemöller himself—following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language. It deals with themes of persecution, guilt, repentance, and personal responsibility.
Confirmation Bias: @TheKobeStopper is a coward.

I don’t know what point you think you’re making.

The left and the establishment are taking us? down an extremely dangerous and slippery slope of sensorship. History is repeating itself.TheKobeStopper said:I don’t know what point you think you’re making.
Yore either extremely dumb and naive, or a coward. I've never thought you are dumb.
Hope this helps.

You are the “they” in that poem.
And it’s certainly not about being banned from twitter. -
The point is that ignorant, naive people that believe that giving the ultimate authority and expecting reliance on the Federal Government are the current problem in our Society.TheKobeStopper said:I don’t know what point you think you’re making.
They either ignore or reject the past history of its outcomes and keep trudging on with it because they hate Trump and believe the lying leaders that they worship of how great it’s gonna be. -
Nice try.TheKobeStopper said:You are the “they” in that poem.

Hondo-esque effort.
Get some rest.
Try again later.
Or don't.
