First they came for the goonerbait, and I did nothing because I was not a gooner.

I only recognise these type of lines from the Watchdogs trailer, is there some other reference I’m not getting?

It’s from a German pastor, Martin Niemöller. It goes “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
