shamanicshayminThey came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time, no one was left to speak up. ~Pastor Martin Niemöller
Aka if something is wrong, you found someone who could possibly hear and understand your pleas for help, or if someone asks you if they could rip your head off with a chainsaw, for the love of fucking God, SAY SOMETHING. It's no thanks to you if we have to continue to suffer because of your shallow idiocy. Don't mind me. I'm just violently seething after watching something in a movie and being reminded of bad things in flashbacks. And dammit. Why do I get tired so easily?
