I was reminded of the ironic quote from Pastor Martin Niemöller. There are several versions of what he may have said, but the point is the same. Speaking about 1930s Germany, he said: First they came for the Jews; but I did nothing because I am not a Jew. Then they came for the socialists, but I did nothing because I am not a socialist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I did nothing because I am not a Catholic. Finally, they came for me, but by then there was no-one left to help me.
