Re: At first they came for the Paedophiles

Your post is extremely apposite and well re-engineered.

I would guess your downvotes result from ignorance and failure to recognise your parody of the famous translation of Martin Niemoller's 1946 poem which, for the benefit of those who've obviously never encountered it, I include here:

First they came for the Jews

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left

to speak out for me.
