      It’s a fairly famous quote.

      Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.
      -Denis Diderot

            Hey, not knowing something isn’t wrong. It isn’t illiteracy to not have read whatever that is related to, remember the xkcd comic on today’s 10,000. I also only read the quote on lemmy.

            Now their response is not the best of course.

                  I was called Satan and psychotic while still calmly explaining the source of the quote.

                  Then called psychotic again.

                  Idgaf if you can’t understand or what you think but I feel fine calling him an illiterate crybaby asshole.
