It’s interesting that you mention Martin Niemöller. He, like all of the MAGATs getting their faces chewed off by their elected leopard, was a giant piece of shit. His poem wasn’t some clarion call to people who saw the danger of the Nazi party… he was a Nazi. He was a big fan of the Nazis and their agenda. Dude straight up hated the Jews. He only fell afoul of the party’s agenda when they started coming after protestant churches, as he was a pastor.
I don’t feel bad for the Martin Niemöllers of the world, and I don’t feel bad for any person who allows themselves to be duped by obvious conmen. The fact that they gain some measure of enlightenment only after they reach the “find out” stage of the FAFO cycle does not in any way elicit sympathy from me.
Look - we’re at a unique point in our history; information is more free and available than at any time before. Anything that someone wants to find out about practically any subject is just a couple of clicks away. The fact that we’re still so shitty and ignorant is a never-ending source of frustration for me.
