Newsflash folks:
It doesn’t matter which group is first on the list for extermination/subjugation/exploitation; no matter who they come for first, anyone who considers themselves a decent human being that cares about more than just themselves must stand up and oppose it.
For many years, I utterly loathed Glenn Beck for diluting the potency of the infamous Martin Niemöller quote on the Nazi’s, now I take the liberty of amending it:
###When they come for the Socialists, I WILL speak out - regardless that I am not a Socialist.
###When they come for the Trade Unionists, I WILL speak out - regardless that I am not a Trade Unionist.
###When they come for the Jews, I WILL speak out - regardless that I am not a Jew.
###And when they come for me - hopefully there will still be enough of us standing in opposition left to speak out for me.
No matter who’s “first,” defend them, in any viable way you can.
(I made this into a meme.)
