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.

Why did I post this? Because many of the Redditors who laughed at T_D getting banned are some of the same ones experiencing much of the same draconian censorship policies, albeit from different subforums and relating to completely different topics. It's always fun and games laughing at your opponents until the enemy shows up to your doorstep.

Just like the people who put a commie fist in their windows in solidarity for BLM, only to have their windows smashed by the same unruly mob they were hoping to placate.

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.
