First they came...

First they came...

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.

[Kilth]

Speak out. Please speak out.

This trend started with drug testing in the 1980s. Well, it started earlier but that was the tipping point when it was realized that people would give up their right to privacy as long as it was presented as "being for the greater good". Since then, our rights have been stripped incrementally and now with the takeover of the government by Fabian Socialists the process is speeding up exponentially.
