This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

this doesn't really apply to billionaires, the same people who oppose things like student debt forgiveness will also lick billionaires' boots and present them as the role models of the "american dream"

it's the bitter people who had it hard in life, and think new generations having it easier is something bad, it's unfair, even though as a civilisation we should all strive to make life easier for those who come after us. but no "if i had it bad in life, you have to go through the same, or you're not really [insert whatever group you feel like, man/woman/american/minority]", as if struggle and suffering was a right of passage
