“I'm not political.” Until they come for you.

Then one day, something happens that affects you directly. Not someone in the news. Not a distant acquaintance. Not somebody else's son. You. And suddenly it turns out laws can be unjust. The state can lie. The TV is spouting some completely fucking deranged shit. Human rights, apparently, are actually pretty useful. The questions start. “How can they do this?” “Why isn't anyone doing anything?” “Where is everyone?” Everyone has a job. A family. A loan. They're not interested in politics.
