Current Events > Quote tweeted by Republican isn't from Voltaire. Is actually from pedo neo Nazi.

(+) Yeah! (+)

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

Do they even know who Voltaire is or just that he was a western philosopher?

...you mean somebody ON THE INTERNET didn't fact-check a quote they saw somebody else share? BIGGEST CONTROVERSY EVER!

I love how people who probably routinely make the mistake themselves when it comes to sharing inaccurate memes are the first to line up grandstanding about it.

That and I love the source is CNN, a media outlet well-known for sharing factually inaccurate claims, including wrongly reporting the Boston Bomber suspect was in custody

...you mean [a guy who makes federal law] [with a national platform] didn't fact-check a quote they saw [a neo Nazi] share?

Fuck that guy. But it's still a good quote

It's completely invalid unless you live in a place like Thailand or North Korea. That asshole has never lived in a place where there exists anyone you're not allowed to criticize.

...you mean somebody ON THE INTERNET

Guessing you're a Trumper

Do they even know who Voltaire is or just that he was a western philosopher?

he might just be a fucking moron, let's give him the benefit of the doubt

They probably think he was Greek, like Copernicus, Virgil and Confucious.

Nah clearly he's Italian and invented the word Volare

Do they even know who Voltaire is or just that he was a western philosopher?

Fuck that guy. But it's still a good quote

Yeah that's kind of a big deal.

But it's still a good quote

Assuming the attribution is correct -- which, given that it's CNN, grain of salt

the nature of power has changed drastically since 1993

Massie was criticized in August for tweeting out a different image that appeared to liken vaccination-card requirements at restaurants and other venues to how the Nazis had tattooed numbers on prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp complex during the Holocaust. He ended up deleting that tweet.

Except it's really not because you're proposing a laughably high standard over a retweet, and I doubt he shared it from a Neo Nazi's feed. Or, more likely, a laughably high double-standard.

I mean, it's something of a historical truism since criticizing those in power could have dire consequences. However, given that the nature of power has changed, the consequences have as well. Assuming the attribution is correct -- which, given that it's CNN, grain of salt -- the nature of power has changed drastically since 1993

You've never been to Australia.

Who in power are you not allowed to criticize in Australia?

Ministers are very trigger happy on defamation lawsuits for anyone who criticises them, lol.

Shame that the source was a total piece of shit, not the worst quote out there, shows that a clock's right twice a day I guess. Circumstances it was used in this case weren't though, considering how nobody's going to fucking prison for saying Fauci is an idiot or whatever.

You do realize that the quote is specifically attacking Jews right?

The quote is talking about Jews stop fucking defending it

Assuming those lawsuits are meritorious, lying about someone isn't the same thing as criticizing them.

If they are not meritorious then they will be dismissed in court.

I'd rather the quote had been from Voltaire.

It stinks that a Nazi is the originator of the famous anti-groupthink quote. Also pretty ironic since they were the standard for "think like we think or we'll fucking kill you."
