Also just learned it's a quote from a white nationalist neonazi in 1993, I never saw it used for anything other than antisemitic dogwhistling but I assumed the phrase was stolen from some liberal philosopher and taken out of a specific historical context... but no, just a neonazi.

yeah it's always invoked by chuds implying that "criticism" is actually racist jokes

If they did, they’d be leftists.

The reason leftists are so unpopular is because we criticize the only people even 4chan suspiciously lays off of. How interesting that rich people, America, The Catholic Church, and white men are all sacred even to 4chan and its “everything goes” culture.

is it appropriate to attribute this quote to Hatsune Miku?

This. The actual dyed in the wool antisemite wing of the republican party are already blaming it on the jews.

Wtf I leaned it was from Voltaire at school (and I'm French, imagine how shameful for the teacher) so I had to double check it and yeah you're right it's been misattributed
