We all know the poem “First they came for” and how so many seem to see it as inspiring.

What a load of bullshit.

What is this “first” crap?

How privileged do you need to be to simply sit by and watch human beings being dragged away?

How can you simply watch people be taken from their homes, their workplaces, their schools, and be fine with it?

What would it take for your first reaction to be horror, disgust and outrage?

To be someone you know?

A friend?

Family?

What sort of world do you live in where you just sit back and relax while people are being taken for no damn good reason?

Are you a feeling thinking human being or just an isolated narcissistic piece of shit?

I would hate to think what would happen if someone was injured near you, I mean its not like you are bleeding, so you don’t need to worry about it eh?

It’s not your house on fire, not you drowning, not you slipping off the edge of a cliff, not you being taken away by brown shirted goons, so it’s not your problem.

Seriously if it takes how many people to be taken away until you're left alone before you start to notice the utter inhumanity of it all I am not sure you should even describe yourself as human.

Human beings feel, they care, they love, they have passion, emotions, empathy, and if you can’t give a shit about other people until it might actually directly affect you, I personally can’t ascribe any of those features of humanity to you.

You are just an ignorant prick.

If you can’t see the humanity in others, don’t expect anyone to try and see the humanity in you.

Because there isn’t any.

Arsehole.
