- 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]
She didn’t quite say that. She said, both are bad but one is unequivocally a catastrophic danger to the entire world, with probably permanent destructive consequences to an already-dire situation.
Then someone else turned that around into a really good reason not to vote, somehow.
Then when people said that makes no sense at all, people like your parent comment came in and tried to say talking about voting has suddenly become off-topic.
Right, but contextually, knowing what we publicly know about Greta Thunberg, by stating that it’s “probably impossible to overstate the consequences” of the election and further saying “Trump - is way more dangerous than the other,” she’s very clearly advocating for a certain candidate.
Regardless, I’m in agreement with you. She very clearly endorsed voting plus action.
