Quote by General Iberico Saint Jean

First we kill all the subversives; then, their collaborators; later, those who sympathize with them; afterward, those who remain indifferent; and finally, the undecided.

First we kill all the subversives; then, their collaborators

Summary

This quote suggests a step-by-step process that could gradually lead to the suppression of dissent and freedom. It starts with eliminating those who actively oppose the dominant order, then targeting individuals who collaborate or show any form of sympathy towards them. Next, those who remain indifferent or passively acquiescent are targeted, followed by the undecided individuals. This quote starkly warns about the dangers of a system that systematically eliminates those who fail to align with or challenge its power, emphasizing the potential for an erosion of democracy and human rights.
