    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

      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”.

    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

    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?

    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.

        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.
