re: #89 FemNaziBitch

NEVER will I support a country that is so backward on human rights.

People who value security over human rights have forgotten the lessons of WWII.

There is a meme—old video --when will they come for me? or something like that.

Niemoller never gets dated in this context, especially as we all see US conservatives frantically searching for scapegoats:

First 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 for me.

A particularly entertaining nugget from the Wikipedia link is this: “An American version delivered by a congressman in 1968 anachronistically omits the Communists and includes the industrialists, who were not persecuted by the Nazis.”

Unfortunately my Google-fu on a Friday evening is not equal to the task of tracking down this congressman.
