>Today they complain about others who were silenced before they themselves are silenced.
FTFY!
Which ironically runs right into the famous poem:
>First they came for the Communists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Communist
>Then 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 out for me

I am not sure what you opinion is. The poem you quoted is aimed at true, real, historically existing Nazis. So it is less applicable at people with somewhat similar views complaining about being called out. Calling them out and confronting them is exactly what the poem advocates for.
The same goes for your post about tolerance towards intolerance. And then you complain about anti-white racism, which is not a thing.
Care to elaborate?

The right are not the ones cancelling people. It's better to have everyone fighting like hell than one side censored into oblivion.

The right is the one failling at cancelling people, but they try just as much as the left
