Yup. This. Tell this loudly to bhakts in your whatsapp groups pushing lies. Bhakts count on being able to get away with spreading these lies because normal people don& #39;t like getting into fights. But if you don& #39;t get into whatsapp fights with fascists even now, when will you? https://twitter.com/omkar__shelar/status/1385614334756282368">https://twitter.com/omkar__sh...

The more you keep silent when bhakts spread their IT cell planted lies, thinking "why take unnecessary panga", the more their poison spreads. Fascism can& #39;t be kept out by ignoring it. Eventually, they will come for everyone, even themselves. That is fascism. That is sanghism.

First they came for JNU student leaders
And I didn& #39;t speak up because I wasn& #39;t a JNU student leader

Then they came for Muslims eating red meat at home
And I didn& #39;t speak up because I didn& #39;t eat red meat at home

Then they came for people who live on cash transactions
And I didn& #39;t speak up because I signed up for Paytm.

Then they came for people of different religions falling in love
And I didn& #39;t speak up because my wife and I have the privilege to pretend that religion does not matter

Then they came with GST to punish small medium traders for supporting other parties
I didn& #39;t speak up cos I& #39;m salaried

Then they came for Muslims directly through CAA-NRC
I didn& #39;t speak up cos hey, I& #39;m not Muslim and we have already established that we won& #39;t support Muslims.

Then they came for daily wage laborers, bullying them to walk a thousand miles in a contagious pandemic
And I didn& #39;t speak up cos I am one of the 3% that pays income tax so I& #39;m better than daily wage earners.

The end of this new poem is yet to be written.

I& #39;ll just end by saying that even the privileged people in Pune I know who faced no problems during DeMon in 2016 cos "I know someone who knows someone with ₹₹" are struggling to find beds & O2 in India.

Read Niemoller, wise up.
