Jones has “spoken out” quite a bit about “coming for the socialists” but it wasn’t like that poem

Running a business that’s based on promoting “hate and discriminatory intolerance”, while being dependant on a company whose acceptable use policy specifically disallows such behaviour is a terrible business model that was likely to fail at some point.
He has the right to try and run a business; other businesses are not obligated to give a damn about its success.

Not the line, and I seriously doubt anyone will come for you. In fact, I’d think you’re likely to be shunned.
If you want to support a shrill little man who hectors the survivors of a school shooting for his own personal gain I’m sure he will allow you to give him your money in person.
No other person or business is obliged to assist either of you in that transaction.

Niemöller? To defend Jones? Really?
Seriously, get your German together and read Rosen auf den Weg gestreut.
Ihr müßt sie lieb und nett behandeln,
erschreckt sie nicht – sie sind so zart!
Ihr müßt mit Palmen sie umwandeln,
getreulich ihrer Eigenart!
Pfeift euerm Hunde, wenn er kläfft –:
Küßt die Faschisten, wo ihr sie trefft!
Wenn sie in ihren Sälen hetzen,
sagt: »Ja und Amen – aber gern!
Hier habt ihr mich – schlagt mich in Fetzen!«
Und prügeln sie, so lobt den Herrn.
Denn Prügeln ist doch ihr Geschäft!
Küßt die Faschisten, wo ihr sie trefft.
Und schießen sie –: du lieber Himmel,
schätzt ihr das Leben so hoch ein?
Das ist ein Pazifisten-Fimmel!
Wer möchte nicht gern Opfer sein?
Nennt sie: die süßen Schnuckerchen,
gebt ihnen Bonbons und Zuckerchen ...
Und verspürt ihr auch
in euerm Bauch
den Hitler-Dolch, tief, bis zum Heft –:
Küßt die Faschisten, küßt die Faschisten,
küßt die Faschisten, wo ihr sie trefft –!
Theobald Tiger, Die Weltbühne, 31.03.1931.

You have to treat them nice and gentle
Do nothing rash, they’re sensitive
You must be somewhat sentimental
Respectful of the way they live
Don’t let your dogs attack them on the street
Embrace the fascists where you may meet
If they should call for hate or violence
Just let them talk, it is their right
And keep your protestations silent
You wouldn’t want to start a fight
For fighting is what they do best
Embrace the fascists and you’ll be blessed
And if they fire their guns upon you
Is life so precious in your eyes?
You would be sheep with wolves around you
Why not be gladly victimized?
And if you feel inside your guts
The Nazi dagger’s blade
Embrace the fascists that you have made

You’d have to do it backwards so they could read it in the mirror.
If they can read.
