First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Again, I am not conspiracy-theorist enough to think that this would happen. At least in my lifetime. Call me naive, or stupid, or whatever, but I prefer to not live a life of paranoia.
I've already seen government IPs in my Gmail inbox. I know I am on terrorist watch lists. I am leaving the country for a reason. Mind you, I am not remotely violent.
Sorry to hear.
