No, I have not. I did not know about him. Until this year, fascism wasn't on my radar, only in my rearview mirror. This link will be added to things to read, watch, and listen to. I really appreciate your help getting me up to speed. Right now, I could use some encouragement about the entire situation. I have spoken up for others, but am very afraid of them "coming for me." (I love the quote, but can never remember all of it when I need it. Please forgive me.)
Would that fascism were still just in our rearview mirror! I am more than happy to get you up to speed—you’ll find plenty to fill out your understanding of tyranny in my essays :-)
CJ Hopkins is my favorite contemporary satirist and also writes brilliantly about the new totalitarianism (https://cjhopkins.substack.com/) if you’re not familiar with his work.
I have found connecting with kindred resisters around the world and realizing how many of us there really are very encouraging, and I think you will, too :-)
Oh yes, Martin Niemöller’s quote is uncomfortably relevant today:
“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.”

Yep, that's the one! Thank-you!
