    To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?

    Kevin Strom, 1993

    It’s best not to (mis)quote Neo Nazis in general, especially so when you’re discussing Jews.

    It’s not helpful discourse, provides cover for and platforms conspiracies, and gives the Zionists free ammo to point at any criticism as ‘antisemitism’ when these phrases are parroted. “Jews rule the world” is about as tired as it comes, and doesn’t do anything to help Palestinians

        If I wound up quoting hate speech from a convicted white supremacist, I’d backpedal SO HARD immediately. I’ve dropped multiple symbols and sayings that got co-opted by bigots, I’d advise you to not echo a super harmful anti-Semitic trope, regardless if it’s attributed or not.

        Right now is a perfect time to delete that comment.

            I’ll link it again, because you missed it the first time. It’s wrongly attributed to Voltaire. Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky just made that shit up to spin a conspiracy.
