- Mod of [email protected] posts a great Greta Thunberg quote, but then tries to use it to justify not voting in the upcoming US election
- Multiple people point out that’s very clearly not what she meant

Using your mod powers to decide who is allowed and not allowed to speak is not very anarchist of you, @[email protected]
You posted this two days ago:

So, you didn’t understand the context of the joke at all, but just posted it anyway because it had the words “Harris” and “Cheney” in it? Or what happened that made you decide to post that, not knowing who Jill Stein is?
@[email protected] and @[email protected] FYI
Oh wow. I actually thought about bringing this up somewhere, but it was late and I went to sleep, I didn’t know that there was already a post. On one hand I’m glad this got out, on the other hand it saddens me that this likely did a lot of damage to both the community and the view of anarchists in general, since it takes just one person like this to overshadow 10 anarchists willing to have conversations in good faith. But we are where we are now, what’s left is to see how we move forward. Thanks for the mention
What?
This thread might interest you, as you were complaining about the propaganda in one of your comments who got linked above
Y’all are barking up the wrong tree. Might I remind you this is the most winnable election in history. Harris sabotaged her own campaign because of her own bloodlust. She promised “the most lethal military.” Go get mad at her if you need someone to get mad at. I frankly don’t care for these third party losers, half of them tankies, the other half TERFs. They won’t make Harris lose. Harris herself digs her own grave and yours. She could win this by just opposing Israel, but she won’t, and you’re angry at me? Yet you’re angry at people with principles? I will not blame people for not voting for more Palestinian death.
What a calm and reasonable explanation for why you said you have no idea who Jill Stein is and posted a Jill Stein meme a couple days ago.
And I’m not angry at you for “principles.” I was annoyed that you banned me because I was speaking against turbo-genocide, and now I’m intrigued that you might have fucked up your ruse and might actually be the glowie that I started suspecting you of being, starting today.
Whether or not they are a state actor, they are absolutely a bad faith actor and I doubt that they have any real closely held beliefs about anarchism. They’ve been at this shit for a while.
I don’t care about this Jill person, but I won’t hold it against people for not choosing more Palestinian death. You know, you don’t need to conduct ideological cover for genocide. You can just vote and not be an apologist. You continue to make the choice to lie about Harris’ program. Will you gladly and willfully walk over thousands of Palestinian corpses to cast your vote for the one who is killing them? Yes, you will. And you’ll provide ideological cover too.
I really don’t want to continue this. Ironically enough, it’s badly offtopic for this community. You felt incredibly strongly about needing to defend your space against people coming in and broadsiding their political opinions into it, and now you’re doing the same, in a lot more obnoxious fashion.
