And there we have the whole crux of the 'strongman' leader, who punishes a group of people, if you're not part of those people then it doesn't matter to you, and it's a good thing...so long as you're not one of those people...

The old lessons still need learning:


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
