I get it that this quote is wrongly attributed to Voltaire. But since there is nothing new under the sun, it seems wrong that it is only a recent saying. Plus, since a lot of people attribute to Strom (who they call a nazi, white supremist, etc.), this comes off as a way to disqualify the truth of the saying. Is there an earlier attribution of the quote, other than Strom?

Reading E Michael Jones' Libido Dominandi, and Voltaire was more of an asshole than I realized. His work has ruined the lives of countless people.

Yeah Jones really dislikes Voltaire. I read Monsters from the Id recently. He also hates the Shelleys.

Give 'Degenerate Moderns' a go. In it Jones annihilates Freud from every angle (also Martin Luther, Picasso and yet again Kinsey among others). It's a great addition to Libido Dominadi, because he goes into more detail, like directly quoting the child abuse lines from the Kinsey's Report.

Why does WHO said a quote matter so much more than the quote itself?
If Voltaire said it, then it is true, but if a white supremacist said it, then its not true? Either the quote is poignant or it isn't. It was very much true in Revolutionary/Napoleonic France that there were characters behind the scenes, pulling the strings.
Like 'The Grey Eminence'.

I’m trying to figure out what you’re even attempting to say here. Either it’s a bad attempt at sarcasm or a terrifyingly accurate Poe’s Law.

Im pretty sure it far predates the 90s

Whence ever it's origins, it's a bang-on example of trolling. Imagine how far the saying has proliferated, and how many minds it might have changed.

Whence refers to a location, not a time

I think Tacitus said something similar.

No matter where this quote comes from, it merely states common sense.

It's true when it feels true and this fucking feels true as fuck ..... Go on any social media and just ask about the Jews....you'll be swarmed by Mossad children living in Israeli ghettos reeeee-ing about anti-Semitism BUT will not actually argue ...that's how you know it's an eternal lying Jew talking to you.

Who care who said it.
Stop the Idolatry bullshit and focus on the truth no matter who says it.
