might "get" the concept of Neimoller's (thanks fer the correction) poem without the de-socialism-ized and pablumized version........................ seems to get back to that "compassion" thing too. If people identify with that "because I was a Protestant, I didn't speak up for Catholics" sounds like an indictment of their own religion!

"The hated & feared groups in Neimoller's poem - I would argue - is the same set of groups that are hated & feared in the US today (except the US also includes African Americans and other ethnic minorities in the list)."

An update (with props to the original) would include Women-- women's lives and bodies as the battleground where the Bully Party plants its flag of wedge issues, hate legislation and authoritarian control central.





edit: corrected "correction" :evilgrin:
