First they came for the terrorists but I did not speak out because I wasn't a Muslim
Then they came for the paedophiles but I did not speak out because I have children
Then they came for the hacktivists but I did not speak out because I don't understand computers
Then they came for the protesters but I did not speak out because activists know what they are risking
Then they came for the hoodies and dopeheads but I did not speak out because what would the neighbours think?
Then they came for the debtors but I did not speak out because after all debts must be paid.
Then they flagged one of my transactions as suspicious, and now I'm in a cell while they check my whole online history for evidence of possible 'tax evasion'.
They said if I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear.
But I'm still afraid.
