Anyone not taking "First They Came" seriously is not going to hear or choose to listen to this. 💀 First They Came was written by a man that was a member of the German party in the 40s. He went to the slay away camp despite being loyal. The lesson is that "supreme" ideology will eventually fall in attacking its own members because there always has to be an "other" that people think lesser of than the in group.

Those who would benefit most from that message do not have the cognitive patience to hear it.

This is why MLK said: “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

"Did you think I'd go through all this fuss just to hang one man?" 🎯🎯 This is what people fail to see. They will never stop at the "radical leftists", trans people, brown immigrants. We're the minority. They're coming for all of you.

I love this because it specifically corrects him that they were murdered, not just dead. Murdered by his passivity.

One public school teacher shared this in class, wishing to credit, but no memory grasps. It resonates more than we really know, also harkens to EA Poe.

My dad often says “first they came for the communists… and I spoke out because I read the damn poem.” I think I need a version of that for this one lol

The people who need to hear this stopped listening after the alien was taken. I think that’s poetic in itself
