An unnamed, passive observer who witnesses an oppressive regime targeting different communities. Operating from a mindset of apathetic self-preservation, the speaker justifies their inaction by noting they do not personally belong to any of the targeted groups. Their reliance on isolation defines their response to the escalating danger and lack of solidarity.

An unnamed, powerful fascist entity referred to only as "they." This authoritarian force systematically targets and removes communities one by one. They operate with absolute authority, demanding total allegiance and repressing any group that deviates from their strict political and ideological standards.

The first community targeted by the authoritarian regime. Because they hold a different political philosophy than the fascist state, the regime views them as a threat and eliminates them while the rest of society observes without objecting.

A community targeted for elimination due to their differing economic philosophy and organizational power. Their removal represents the state's ongoing consolidation of control and destruction of organized labor, occurring while bystanders continue to look the other way.

A group persecuted by the fascist state for falling outside the regime's rigid racial and ethnic ideals. Their persecution demonstrates the deep prejudice of the regime and the persistent failure of passive observers to intervene on behalf of others.
