The earliest prisoners were: Communists. That is why the poem starts with:
First they came for the Communists
Then socialists, then trade unionists. Not really liberal politicians.
According to Wikipedia 80% of the people in early concentration camps were communists
God I am so fucked
Why? Did you find a shark?
Daddy shark, do do do do…
How? Is another question that could be asked here.
Just use the shark hole
Well yes and no. Niemoller hated queers, so he was glad to see them go and left them out of his poem. If only there was someone to have written a poem for him to realize the dangers of dividing the people!
I wondered where this thread was coming from and then I re-read it and saw the “liberal politicians”.
Casually erasing communists from that list, cool.
A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared
Through all their time those camps were meant for undesirables not only just in the beginning. It’s that eventually you just run out of them.
Also Jews were the immigrants in Europe. They were blamed for all the ills. Kind of like Latinos are today in the US.
Were they immigrants? How many generations ago?
I don’t think they meant literal immigrants. I’m pretty sure they meant that jews filled the same narative/political role as immigrants do in today’s discourse.
Why do you think Israel murders journalists?
Did this guy just call the KPD liberals?
Whatever you do, don’t look up the night of long knives. Definitely don’t.
Do look up the Ides of March. Big fan!
Then why did they go after Don Lemon?
