Can’t we all just get along?
No, not when your fucking white privilege has you proudly proclaiming “I don’t care” about social injustice just because it doesn’t affect you and attempting to shame those who do by accusing them of perpetuating “outrage culture.”
If this is you, fuck you.
You’re the problem.
And if you’re going to defend that or tone police me for calling it out or warning people from that person’s instance, just fuck off right now and save me the trouble of blocking you.

@aral the key - and this is not advice it's a personal progress report - is to stop engaging anyone who is complicit or benefits
for me almost of my professional and personal relationships went away, which is painful but I am free for the time in decades
It's not the nazis, it's the purposefully clueless, they are everywhere

@CartyBoston I hear you.

@GI_Jack @dgold @aral , this is the point. At that time people had no reference to what it meant to support this national-"socialism" with the populist propaganda they used. Niemöller was aware of the policies of xenos and homophobia and the persecution of the Jews, which he criticized and for which he was arrested and placed in a concentration camp.

Or mabey its the reflection of a man who realized he was cheering for the bad guys when they finally came for him.
Not speaking to clear HIS name, but as a warning for those like him in the future that he should have been an anti-nazi priest, and a lot sooner.

When the Nazis took the communists
I was silent
I wasn't a communist.
When they imprisoned the Social Democrats
I was silent
I wasn't a social democrat.
When they got the unionists
I didn't protest;
I wasn't a union member.
When they took the Jews
I didn't protest;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they took me
there was no one left to protest.
Martin Niemöller
same as it ever was
@Catweazle @aral seriously, fuck Niemoller.
a nazi priest who celebrated when they came for the socialists, who cheered when they came for the trade unionists, who offered prayers in support when they came for the Jews.
he’s the epitome of the “face eating leopards” supporter.
Fuck niemoller.
same as it ever was
he was not arrested for protesting the homophobia and antisemitism. he was arrested and sent to Sachausen for protesting nazi control of the church and Nazi persecution of Christians.
