    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

                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.

          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.
