- Mod of !anarchism@slrpnk.net 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, @mambabasa@slrpnk.net

If anything, this liberal throwing the toys out of the pram makes me even less likely to vote. 🍉
Aren't you British, anyway?
As a British person, I think living under Keir has made me even more apathetic to the US’s faux-democracy.

I'm going to make a bold prediction that the person you're talking to is never going to address this in a coherent way.
Curiouser and curiouser.
They said "pram," of course they're British

It really doesn’t make sense for that to be the joke, given you couldn’t have reasonably expected anyone to know you are british.
I zoomed out and looked at these comments, and I noticed there is a common thread in the way certain people talk about the other participants:
this liberal throwing the toys out of the pram
hijacked by crazed Democrats telling everyone to vote, vote, vote
Will you gladly and willfully walk over thousands of Palestinian corpses to cast your vote for the one who is killing them?
come into my home and berate me about voting
Nobody else in these comments is speaking this way. They can disagree about things, even important things, but they're just talking about it. It's not a hyper-emotional or aggressive thing that always has to hook into the other person being bad or pathetic in some way. It's remarkable, now that I'm looking at it, how isolated the handful of accounts are that are all hooking into some kind of strongly emotionally negative way of looking at the other person in the conversation.
You’re getting the classic hexbear/.Ml brigade experience.
LOL no American knows WTF a pram is.
We also have elections between two identical candidates
