    It’s a saying, I was not aware of the Nazi origins, nor trying to quote it as such. That’s why I didn’t attribute it to anyone.

    Not intentional but if the shoe fits. They’re so deep in it they can’t see the forest through the trees

      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.

        The saying fits the situation. Just because it was requoted by a neo nazi doesn’t mean much. When I look it up it is attributed to Voltaire.

        You must be a major coward.

        Take your own advice.
