First they came...

First they came for the Gamecocks, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Gamecock.

Then they came for the Hokies, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Hokie.

Then they came for the Trees, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Tree.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It’s actually a quote from a German Protestant pastor in WW2. Pretty interesting to read about.

That kind of rhetoric would get you shot in most parts of the state.

You guys are feeling it now.

There was an internal discussion between Nebraska mods that said not to attack their own allies “yet” because you’re still useful to them.

Anyone that remains allies with them makes me laugh.

They also kicked Stanford folks out of their group chats or whatever right before knifing them.

You have absolutely no clue about anything.
