First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

K. This isn't your fault. It's the fault of politicians getting rid of classical (liberal arts) education. STEM is important, so are philosophy, logic, etc.

Itt, situational irony. So my statement was irony, expressing the situational irony on display.

What does the poem have to do with the "scratch a liberal" idiom.
This seems like a non sequitur.

It means I argued that your life was worth saving. I wonder how many in these threads would pull the trigger on Chairman Fred?
