"But Keanu never said those things. The quote has previously been attributed to other celebrities and one unnamed Muslim journalist (the link to which no longer works). A search turned up a video of Keanu at an art exhibition which was dubbed over in Russian with that quote, making it seem like a translation of Keanu's words. Unfortunately for them, we found the original video, where Keanu was talking awkwardly about art, not going on a self-righteous spiel about how he's one of the few people left in this world with a moral conscience.
I have no idea who first decided to attribute that quote to Keanu. LucaM says that seems to have first emerged in Russian social media, and then made its way around Moldavian and Romanian social media circles as well as several Muslim websites before surfacing in English social media - thanks to fake Keanu Facebook pages reposting it to their tens of thousands of followers.
Fans on this site have, collectively, probably seen or read every single interview Keanu has ever done. None of us have ever encountered this quote or anything like it.
Throughout his career, Keanu has always deliberately avoided commenting on political or social issues. Many of his friends and co-stars have meanwhile talked about his extreme willingness to listen, his open acceptance for all sorts of people, and his remarkable respect for others, even those he disagrees with. That is not the portrait of a man who would use the phrase "retarded despots".
