As if it's the original! Welcome to NewSpeakWorld.

"In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me -- and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.

-Martin Niemoller"

Wrong. Not his original work. Posted by someone who identifies as "centrist" (and has a live and let live approach, no problem there) in a thread about whether "Left-bashing" should be "allowed" at DU.

:wow:

Seems the Socialists don't fit conveniently into the worldview of those who like the Neo-Niemoller "quote." And the Jews get top billing over the Trade-Unionists.



We is screwed. :yoiks:
