A modern rewrite of German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller's poem "First they came for the socialists" rewritten to fit modern times.

First, the mob came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out- because "Fuck the Nazis am I right? They are the worst people alive, everyone hates the Nazis. They must be Nazis, a bunch of people I think are cool say so! Who cares about those people anyway?"
