      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

        “they” in this poem is referring to anti-semites, specifically Nazis. Germany is doing the right thing by censoring and excluding anti-semites from society, to ensure that what this poem describes will never happen again.

        Using Niemoller to support antisemitism is peak 2016 “triggered, lib?” bullshit. Fuck off with that. The intolerant don’t deserve tolerance. If you try to deny someone their humanity, yours is forfeit.
