Define your line now, not later.
Speak your convictions before, not after.

Be able to sand by them, do not give yourself an out by not speaking it now.

I know the 1930's Germany comparisons get old, but understand there is a non-zero chance things head that way.
1/
So define for yourself now how bad it would have to get for you to consider the comparison to be apt.

Once you've set that line ask yourself if it would be too late to say anything at that point or not?
If so, speak up now.

2/
Given it remains an open possibility & I know I'm not going to add to those atrocities I feel compelled to speak up now before the Overton Window shifts to a point where I cannot speak or worse.
3/
I hope very much to be proven to be a fool later, but better a fool than an accessory through silence to another great atrocity in the history books. Try to exercise Good Sense

Where is your line?

Behold the soviet gulag state.

Every dot denotes a separate facility, prison or camp. The gulags. At it's height anywhere from 2000 to 10,000 people were held in each of these camps.

In the gulag state you could trust no one.
Rumors from unofficial spies would incriminate you, these were ordinary citizens protecting themselves by turning you in. If you ran into an old school buddy you haven't seen in years chances are they were the one to lure you...

...into the hands of the secret police. Mail was intercepted and thought crimes were punished with years of labour and suffering. Even decorated military officers were not free from this.
