The earliest prisoners were: Communists. That is why the poem starts with:

First they came for the Communists

Then socialists, then trade unionists. Not really liberal politicians.

According to Wikipedia 80% of the people in early concentration camps were communists

Why? Did you find a shark?

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 months ago

Daddy shark, do do do do...

[–] toothpaste_sandwich@thebrainbin.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How? Is another question that could be asked here.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Just use the shark hole

First the immigrants and ethnic minorities were expelled from the country, and LGBT were persecuted.

When the allies freed the camps LGBT were tossed back into the jails.

Well yes and no. Niemoller hated queers, so he was glad to see them go and left them out of his poem. If only there was someone to have written a poem for him to realize the dangers of dividing the people!

I wondered where this thread was coming from and then I re-read it and saw the “liberal politicians”.

[–] FunkyStuff@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 months ago

Casually erasing communists from that list, cool.

Through all their time those camps were meant for undesirables not only just in the beginning. It's that eventually you just run out of them.

Also Jews were the immigrants in Europe. They were blamed for all the ills. Kind of like Latinos are today in the US.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Were they immigrants? How many generations ago?

[–] GojuRyu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I don’t think they meant literal immigrants. I’m pretty sure they meant that jews filled the same narative/political role as immigrants do in today’s discourse.

A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared

We really are very lucky that these guys are fucking idiots

That leads to procreation though.

[–] fif-t@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Why do you think Israel murders journalists?

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Did this guy just call the KPD liberals?

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whatever you do, don't look up the night of long knives. Definitely don't.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Do look up the Ides of March. Big fan!

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Then why did they go after Don Lemon?

^jk^

[–] Fridam@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Already deleting queer people and communists from history, I see. And including "liberal politicians"? Cmon, the centrists are those who gave Hitler power to stop the leftists! Does that remind you of someone?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah thats not what liberal means but no matter how often we say that it never lands.
