Seen today on my Tumblr dashboard.

One of my mutual followers posted this, and asked help in making it go viral.

So I'm sharing it here, in my other social circle:

If the Nazis don't want you dead, they want you recruited.

I don't think I understand this -- it appears to be saying that if you're not one of the victims, then you're part of the problem, a potentially desirable recruit?

Well, it means that, even if you are white, straight, able-bodied and Christian, Nazis are still a threat to you.

...You don't need to defend yourself against their explicit violence, but you do need to defend yourself against their rhetoric.

(Much the same message as this 1947 anti-Nazi film, from the U.S. War Department: Don't Be a Sucker)

And if you do decide to stand against them, know that your White, Straight, Able-Bodied Christianity alone will not be enough to save you... just as it wasn't enough to save the life of Heather Heyer.

P.S: This is also the gist of Martin Niemöller's verse: "First, they came for the Socialists..."
