»When the Nazis came for the communists, I kept quiet; I wasn't a communist.

When they came for the trade unionists, I kept quiet; I wasn't a trade unionist.

When they locked up the social democrats, I kept quiet; I wasn't a social democrat.

When they locked up the Jews, I kept quiet; I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me, there was no one left to protest.«

Martin Niemöller (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came)

I’d like to add some modern lines:

When again the #reactionary #bourgeois #registered #queer and #mentallychallenged humans, I kept quiet, I was not (yet) affected nor framed as such.

When again the reactionary bourgeois locked up climate #activists, arabs, #muslims, latinos, human rights activists, open #anticapitalists, destroyed any social transfer systems, welcomed the fascists as friends, and lured us into »just« wars, I kept quiet.

When again #autocracy and #fascism had become normal and usual I learned that all the above had been my brothers, sisters, and every gender in between and apart.

A piece of shit on #FoxAndFriends literally suggested euthanizing the poor and mentally ill by "involuntary lethal injection". Such policies existed here a century ago and influenced #Nazi actions. The US right is not #conservative; it is violently #neofascist and #reactionary.

R.I.P. Mr #Kirk, social media and university debate preacher of #hate. Shooting him made him a #martyr for sure. So if they did it to stop his #reactionary poison be spread I don’t see a chance it worked. Thus they committed a #crime and became #guilty for nought. I mean, Kirk is guilty of #instigation, but a victim’s guilt is never an excuse nor a justification.

When Dietrich #Bonhoeffer gave his two cents in the discussion if assassinating Hitler was ethically permitted he said they were guilty either way: Let the #Nazis go on with their #Fascist agenda, murdering millions of human bodies and souls, or, kill the Fuehrer. So, he said, if killing one spared many humans’ lifes he would choose to kill the one. But, he continued, an isolated tyrannicide wasn’t wise politically, because killing the head alone wouldn’t stop the Fascist machine. (All paraphrased by me)

Kirk wasn’t as important as Hitler, of course, but the same weighing of the real political effect should have been done here.

WIST Quotations Sep 11

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

If the reactionary man, who thinks of nothing but the rights of property, could have his way, he would bring about a revolution; and one of my chief fears in connection with progress comes because I do not want to see our people, for lack of proper leadership, compelled to follow men whose intentions are excellent, but whose eyes are a little too wild to make it really safe to trust them.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” John Brown Memorial Park dedication, Osawatomie, Kansas

China released #DeepSeek, described as a "phenomenally efficient and open-source large language model that sucked trillions out of the Wall Street AI bubble," representing another "Sputnik moment" for the West.

#china leadership in energy and technology is leaving the #US behind, especially under the "leadership" of #xenophobic #reactionary fascists beholden to a cabal of #oligarch #landpirates

This was an interesting listen: Democratic Living in Times of Fascism

A conversation with H. L. T. Quan and Dylan Rodríguez about the latest book of Quan:
Become Ungovernable, An Abolition Feminist Ethic for Democratic Living

I especially liked how they both point out what a real democracy should and could be.

https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745349114/become-ungovernable/

"We explore concepts such as state addiction, anti-democracy, ungovernability and democratic living. We also touch on the work of Cedric Robinson, and what we can learn from Black abolition feminist praxis."

Link to the podcast on the webpage of the book.
