And so the silencing continues

World Weary Detective has been told to SHUT UP. They are closing in, where will it stop? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

He posted this in January, and he was right. Who's next?

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a communist;
Then 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 out.
