Of course he does.
First they came for the socialists ... But the US was coming for the socialists at the time, so that part is left out at the Holocaust museum memorial.
Actually first they came for LGBTQ+ people and scientists studying controversial subject matter, but the guy who wrote the poem was a conservative Catholic priest, so he didn't mind.
Worse than that, he was part of a group that carved out special exemptions for their churches with Hitler. And was a raging anti-semite until his death bed iirc.
So a traditional conservative who only saw evil when it affected him. And only insofar as HOW it affected him.
That makes it a better poem in retrospect, imo. It demonstrates its own moral
Man, can you imagine hating on your deathbed? I'd think of the slightly less shitty times.
A piece of garbage that has a far better legacy than he deserves.
Well, his legacy is about regretting a mistake for not standing up for others even if he doesn't like them. I don't think that's a legacy of doing good even if it's a good legacy. I think he has the legacy he deserves; being known for failing to do what's right even when others died doing so.
You have a very good point. Not even remotely remorseful for being motivated by blind hatred, but able to at least consider the babies of a basic ethical framework based solely on pragmatism.
Actually, first they came for physically and mentally handicapped. The clergy spoke up because they were the first to notice that the families in their church with vulnerable individuals were all receiving letters that their family member had died while getting government-mandated "treatment" in a government hospital.
Hitler was "shocked, " and pledged to end the program. Instead, it went underground, and evolved into the Holocaust.
That's why I'm speaking out for these political prisoners in El Salvador. If they are criminals, then kick them out, but there has to be due process. This is AMERICA, everybody gets their day in court.
If they are criminals?? Brother we are all gonna be criminals soon
I meant violent criminals, but I get your point, and agree. Especially without due process, and HitlerPig claiming to be the sole arbiter of what is the law, anyone could be deemed a terrorist at any time. My post history will certainly get me designated as a terrorist.
He already did and a judge ruled that he had to be brought back
And hasn't been, last I checked. The excuse provided will infuriate you even more.
