I wish the internet wld give proper credit. I prefer my inspiration from a hateful source. Like Voltaire, even if this is not his.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Doesn't change the validity of what they've said. (Yes ofc they're still a pos, not my point)

@OP stop the fuck spreading this BS like PB on a sandwich. Voltaire never said that. Pedophile neo-nazi Kevin Alfred Strom did. You idiot.

I think he has a point though. I'm not a nazi or paedophile btw.

Irradiatedchipmunk
Well, you're not really allowed to criticize illegal aliens, homosexuals, or GoT. So we are ruled by illegal gay GoT fans.

I'm not allowed to criticize gays blacks Muslims or immigrants.
Konpiok1
Actually “criticizing” those people is what the entire centrist/ skeptic community was founded on. Those people literally rule social media.
hurrdurr69
Im curious, what critique do you have of gay people lmao
Aurourus
It would be pretty neat if you just didn't start making out right next to me but this applies to straight people as well.
DearAtlas
So whats the point lel
hurrdurr69
So basically you're not critiquing gay people? What does that have to do with what I said then?
dalaiyoda
No, you are absolutely allowed. It's just the rest of the world is also allowed to call you a fucking bigot if that's what you sound like.
IncestIsaFamilyGame
Swear to God some people believe they're oppressed by minorities because they can't be racists towards said minorities
Arcian
They are afraid that minorities, if given power, will treat them as badly as they've treated the minorities in the past.
jmulderr
Well then let me be the first to say it: Children with leukemia deserve it. It's part of God's plan, and God wants them to suffer.

In the wise words of one of my old friends. God created me gay, and hates me for it. seems legit.

I think they got it from Strom...or Voltaire...or someone.

White men rule imgur. You can make women based jokes, asian, black, etc. Never seen any white guy jokes around.
Ollie53
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
RayloKen
Looking for a reaction, i guess. "You guys see this, right?"
BulletinYOurnanus
Well then tell us a white men joke, don't only complain looser.
RayloKen
I didnt mean to offend you.
Aurourus
Come on tell us a white joke.
RayloKen
How about a white lie
morelikeconsham
How many white guys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
morelikeconsham
All of them. One to hold the lightbulb steady, the rest to screw the whole world.
DearAtlas
Feel free to.
RayloKen
My point is proven. I did what the meme said.
TheMadOnion
Literally every school shooting joke I see on this site involves a white man.
RayloKen
You say that like its a fery popular joke. Iv seen it less than five times. And gets downvoted.
TheMadOnion
Votes don't matter, it's still a joke that pops up pretty frequently. I probably see one once a week.
TheMadOnion
Not that I really see all that many racist jokes at all. Like ever, and if I do if they're downvoted to. So I'm not really seeing your point
RayloKen
Well votes tell you what the majority thinks.
Kamasu0Tra
And how many times have you seen the Pikachu meme you are complaining about? Probably never before.
RayloKen
Once more. Was going to comment 'repost'.
Kamasu0Tra
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Pretty sure that has something to do with the whole "haha, loads of kids being murdered in place they're supposed to be safe, hilarious" bit
RayloKen
Exactly. Never as a derogatory comment.
HOOMANGUY
The neo nazi quote again
hardytardigrade
The old "ackshullay, real oppression is when people don't like what I say" business
roberSuperVoter
There's a difference between people not liking what you're saying and what you're saying being a literal crime!
hardytardigrade
There is a difference. But criticizing Jews and black people, like the true author of this quote, isn't a crime in the US. So the quote
hardytardigrade
isn't just stupid, it's false. Unless maybe he meant "people who think child porn should be illegal" because he did serve time for that.
Nelmathel
"I like breathing and drinking water," said by a nazi one time. You have to oppose people based on direct actions not based on what they are
Yellowdart49
That nazi was terrible at small talk
parasztarcal
Claiming that the jews run the world is a pretty nazi act if you ask me. Also the thing where he's a self proclaimed neo-nazi.
Nelmathel
1/ The statement it self is very open ended and can be use for Jews/Whites/Blacks ect. however better replay was the above one
Nelmathel
2/ character attacks are by far weaker.
GSCultist
It's not really a character attack because he did originally mean this quote explicitly about the jewish people.
KanyeWesticularCancer
Fun fact. This was actually said by a man named Kevin Alfred Strom. He’s a neo-Nazi, Holocaust denier, and in prison for having kiddie porn.
sarahmoves360
I bought about this for a while and while he’s wrong about racism, he’s correct about the “untouchable” class. Maybe we should be critical
ltshep
Well I’ll be damned.
Batmanfondlesme
That is fun
chr666
Even a broken clock is right 2 times a day...
Laylah77
He may have said it, but Voltaire said it first.
Chakra5
Which goes to show that anyone can speak truth & provide insight. That's why attacking a whistle-blower with character attack is a big tell.

Lucent
With the way Tennessee is playing this season this should get a lot of use.
Isklar07
But you don't think it rings true?
Black5cienceMan
Even if Voltaire may have never said it, the quote still holds weight and refers to real world phenomenon.
Docomally
And yet it does not make it any less true.
SirPelvisJohnwood
Or any less false.
Sekai
It's a generic philosophy that could be applied to many governments, taboo subjects, or alternatively used for victim points
mitharas
So it was never said by Voltaire at all?
TheBIFFALLO87
PuckeringButthole2

If Kim Jong Un said "Eating rotten food is bad for you." would him saying it, make it any less true?

KanyeWesticularCancer hitting us with some knowledge.

Very carefully
TheBurritoConfederacy

bekkayya
TBF he was probably pretty upset he was ruled by sane people
Mickleathy
And he hated kids with leukemia?
HandsomeJack19
Who doesn't? Bunch of drama queens.
StonesOnTheHill
He thinks they're appropriating skinhead culture, with their paleness and bald heads.
mmartin762
The nerve!
ElbowdeepinElmo
Poor, misunderstood skinheads being mocked by kids with leukemia...despicable.
KanyeWesticularCancer
Correction: WAS in prison. He served 4 months. Source here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Alfred_Strom
RoryBlack1
Hold up. Only 4 months? Holy shit...
Ollie53
He deserves much more than 4 months.
teddybear189
He deserves unspeakable things. But we are in civilized company, so I shan’t darken the Web with their description.
nightrideFM
Does he, OP? Maybe don’t post his quote anymore.
Tokipudi
A horrible man can say a lot of great things. Him being an ass doesn't make everything he says dumb.
GLUTINUSMAXIMUS
When you give it the context of said by a neo Nazi I start to suspect he's on about the Jews. Jewish NWO sort of thing.
Ollie53
Whoa whoa what???????????
Laylah77
You were correct.
FirePrinceZuzu
Yeah, OP. we're onto you, you paedo nazi denier person!
ButterfaceTaintClown
But Voltaire did say, aptly enough, "a witty quote proves nothing."
neutronfish
Yup. He was saying that about the Jews.
japh
Yep, this picture floats around and people keep repeating Nazis trying to claim that Jews run the world. 1/2
VoidofLostKnowledge
Strangely enough it's the British left wing Labour party who believe this.
SaltyInternetPirate
That's kind of the context I assumed it would be most used for, but I didn't think it would also be the source.
LankyFrog
On the other hand though, it's political suicide to criticize Israel.
YutteHermsgervordenbrotborda
I really like how people genuinely think we run the world. As I sit at my laptop in my underwear eating Cheez-Its at 2AM

yea but what a hilarious way to find this all out.

That’s just terrible. Should I take the picture down?
itotallyagreewithwhatyousaid
No its a joke panchit9. if people get boo booo over memerino then they need some doo doo over their pooperino.
Nelmathel
No I'd advise you simply update text with correct source the replay does more to dismantle statement then screaming OG speaker was a Nazi.
AnonymousSourceOfGenitals
I think you should just edit in some info. Educate instead.
ClockworkOrange1971
No it's a joke dude. If people get emotional over a meme then Fuck em.
Rexli78
Nah the sentiment in this image is clearly being mocked by the comment just below it.
edjlord3000
Just make an edit. It’s not your fault for not knowing but you should make that clear now
morelikeconsham
The joke points out how stupid the original statement is anyways, so no biggie.
TheGriffin
No. It's a good learning opportunity
RtsWillH1Mself
No it's a joke bro. If people anger over it then they should be punched.
Tinkrr
No, a statement and a person do not have the be seen as one and the same. Even evil people can make a good points on occasion. D:
sharon838
No it’s a joke, mate. If folks get their panties in a wad over it then they should be pelted with snowballs.
RtsWillH1Mself
No it's a joke guy. If people freak out then they should jump off a cliff
kojenk
The quote is accurate. He is in jail for other scummy shit. If he had spoken out against actual oppressors, he would have been invited for
kojenk
a visit to an embassy.
FirstThingThatCameToMind
this will be a wonderful example of "death of the author"
Tinkrr
I'm going to guess people will think you're calling for violence as they are unfamiliar with the term. D:
Muzz57
No it's a joke man, if people can't take a joke they should be beat with jumper cables
ErrorUsernameNotSetToInstanceofAnObject
Got enough accounts?
SirPelvisJohnwood
I'd say yes, because it misattributes the quote (which only spreads the mistake further) and there are already people in the comments (1/2)
SirPelvisJohnwood
arguing that "it rings true" and "evil men can say good things, too". So it does strengthen the underlying philosophy. (2/2)
ClockworkOrange1971
No its a joke Yo, if people get mad over a meme then they need some help.
HerMajestysSecretButthole
Do not, for it is in good humor. Should a cheeky fellow become embroiled in anger over a...meme...they must be horse drawn and quartered.
Qualtagh
Okay I can see imgur is having one of its precious little moments in this thread, but for real: Since the post demonstrates one of the 1/2
Qualtagh
inherent flaws in the philosophy, it hardly strengthens it. 2/2

This is no joke son! I have got my panties in a wad, and will now beat you with jumper cables.

I miss jumper cables guy

I won’t stoop to your dad’s level, well at least for as many years as he beat you with jumper cables
