I don't normally fact check memes, but the source of that quote was not Voltaire:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Alfred_StromQuote:
The statement "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize" has been falsely attributed to Voltaire, the French Enlightenment philosopher.[25] The phrase, however, is believed to have originated from an essay by Strom first published in 1993: "All America Must Know the Terror that is Upon Us". He wrote: "To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?"
Dude is a neo-Nazi, he was talking about the Jews with that quote.
Good catch, good example of how dog whistles work.
