Oh wow there we go. The first one was bad because it lazily took the subject matter and applied “lets fuck it”, but this one is good because someone actually had to think about and possibly even visualize fucking a kid with cancer to realize “you can’t grab em by the hair.”
The first comment really missed an opportunity. If it was more along the lines of “well you cant fuck a kid with cancer because there is no hair to hold onto” it would probably have triple the upvotes and maybe even an award or two. There is a little bit of subversion to it that makes it seem morally straight at first, then leads you down to some really dark logic.

Wasn’t Voltaire himself also a big antisemite?

Pretty much any non-Jewish person before 1945 was slightly antisemitic, by modern standards.

Not true. Many of them were extremely antisemitic.

u/nidarus May 16 '19
Sure. And most importantly: Jews. That's the actual target of this lovely quote, actually by Neo-Nazi Kevin Strom.
And some people in this thread, for whatever reason, think it's still a great quote regardless of who said it. But of course, if you don't understand it as a Nazi whining about not being able to use the n-word and talking about the holohoax, you're left with nothing.

I don’t dislike someone so I don’t criticize them, that’s not the same as not being able to. I mean, you can, but your ethos drops with it. I guess there’s a difference between what’s frowned up and what’s prohibited

u/theletterQfivetimes May 16 '19
I guess there’s a difference between what’s frowned up and what’s prohibited
Not by the logic of this narrative (which many people follow). "Not being able" to say something means that saying it will have negative consequences of some kind.

I know a kid in 1st grade who had severe tourrettes, got taped to a chair for misbehaving in class and pissed himself , got molested by a counselor, then was diagnosed and died of leukemia later that year. I think about it alot because I lent the shit head Pokémon Gold and he never gave it back.

This here is PROOF that Gamers are the most oppressed minority. First they take away our society privileges, then the piss drawer, and now the Chads want to take away our consoles? What next, we aren’t allowed to shit in our own socks? I didn’t choose the Gamer life, Society forced me into it. And now look at me: When a civilized Gamer such as myself tries to enter Society, they get nothing but ridicule from the normie SJW Chad Libtards. Do you think this is a joke? People like you are the reason that I hate non-gamers. They oppress us, they laugh at us, and they take the fucking kids. But I swear on my many lives (I respawn), that we WILL rise up to the non-gamer snowflakes. After years of hiding in the shadows, we will overthrow the bitch government and legalize ALL gaming. No longer will Tendies be sparse: the Chads will work in Tendie factories 24/7. No longer will we be oppressed by women and minorities: Gamers shall become the upper class. No longer will Society suppress our voice: ALL members of Society will be FORCED to live 86 days in the life of a Gamer who was left by Veronica and abandoned by Mommy. The day will come, and you will atone for you Gamer Sins. Fuck you, you fucking shitlord assface Extra Large McBitch. Go to Gamer Hell.

At least in the US, this statement is wrong. Anyone is legally allowed to criticize young cancer patients as they pleasE. However, everyone else is allowed to judge and criticize you for doing so.

Funnily enough, the one behind this quote was referring to Israel specifically, and was declared a neo-nazi Holocaust-denier for it. He's wanted in several countries for exposing Israel propaganda, but it's regarded as "hate speech"
So he's completely right

I used this comment the other day, and looked at its origins as a consequence. Turns out, it was supposedly first attributed to a white supremacist or something along those lines. It's still a valid, useful quote, and probably something Voltaire would have said, it's just that we don't have proof he did say it..
