Gosh. After all these years, the anti-science dingdongs are still
claiming the automod somehow identifies and deletes their best and most
devastating posts, while only letting the risible nonsense through. It's
nice to know some things never change.

It sounds like a takeoff on Heinlein's comment:
(paraphrased):
 "Every man must occasionally want to spit on his hands,
hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
 I believe that dates from the '70s. I suppose it's possible
that yours came first.

Not Heinlein, but Mencken, in 1917. But otherwise, yes, that is exactly what it is.
