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.

All well and good until mom's retirement accounts tank and you can no longer live in her basement.

The whole "liberal tears" stuff came from the gingers episode.

A lot of different comments, and I know this is a greentext, but I wonder what people here think about americans who have 3 jobs and can only barely pull through?

Such people have nothing more to lose, everybody constantly keeps forgetting about them, the homeless, sick people... the list goes on.

And I'm not saying acceleration is good, but for the lost people, nothing good is coming from any side. And the pressure keeps getting worse. Even from the democrats.

So what is the solution, achievable as the world is now?

Such people have nothing more to lose,

This is a very big flaw in that kind of argument. It might look like that but there are plenty of worse situations human beings have been in historically. There is no war going on, food and clean water and shelter (even with heating and lighting) are actually available,...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely! That kind of thinking of "I have nothing to lose" is pretty dangerous on politics. You still have a truckload more to lose. Mostly in matter of rights mostly but imagine being in worse dystopias the oligarchy would love to put you on just to squeeze an extra penny from you or better yet read about it in history books.
The worst part is that it takes decades to fix the damage done, soon you realize there is no bottom to touch to think "you can only go up" there is only the moment you guys realize "enough is enough".

That kind if abstract thinking isn't in that person's wheelhouse. They're focused on their next meal, which bill to pay (or partially pay), and if that pain is worth the time/money lost going to urgent care. They aren't thinking about the long term effects or side effects of political arguments.

The best thing to come of all of this would be bookers suffer too.

Fuck you and your house and car and planed retirment

[–] [email protected] 189 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"Fuck you, I never had mine" is definitely one of the positions one could take.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ah.. It's fair? If wealth isn't distributed well, blaming radical ideas will only fuel the fire. Solution is a much deeper one no one wants to invest into.

I can call it a really stupid take while also acknowledging we need deep systemic change.

The problem with NEET-ism is you eventually run out of your parent's money.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That's where the goverment suppoorted neet's come into the picture.

I know some neet's who get more money from goverment than some people working 60 hour jobs.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't feel like someone relying on government helps would think some corporate fascist who generally wants to reduce government spendings represents their interest, but then again I don't think there is a logical framework in which we won't conclude that OP is at least a little bit dumb. But what makes me favour the parents supported hypothesis is the "never paid for anything " part.

I am from a very poor place in WV where most people are on assistance because there are no jobs.

Trump flags everywhere. Cars driving down the road with no tags or insurance, but Trump stickers all over.

I don’t get it. Well, actually I do.

Religion. The preacher says the gay is bad. Preacher says the trans is bad. Democrats want to extend basic rights to those people and preacher says god don’t like that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

There's also the idea that they've earned their government money. I once dealt with someone like that. Her ptsd disability money was earned unlike everyone else who didn't suffer for it in her eyes. Higher taxes meant her victims (she was emotionally abusive af) couldn't spend as much on her and higher government spending meant that the government couldn't spend as much on her.

These people don't think that their money will go away.

They seem oddly confident in the police state and cultural sharia they voted for will never come for them.

Or they don't care. Don't underestimate how self destructive depression can be.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't blame this on depression. Most depressed people doesn't become fascists. If anything this is their narcissism showing itself.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I dont think al of the people that voted for the annoying orange agree with the fascistic tendencies. It's probably an unhealthy mix of suicidals and depressed people, angry people, fascists, idiots and morons. Neither of these are mutually exclusive of course.

How did they never pay for anything? Shoplifting? Are they literally a statue of a Confederate general?

Loans

Anon has never had a job, and banks need income to give you a loan.

The opposite of pro life is mandatory abortion for all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Wouldn't it require going to full term, and then aborting post delivery?

Or maybe it's forced sterilization for all?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

aborting post delivery?

Up to 120 years post delivery?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

my child my choice

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I kinda understand their point of view here actually. Wanting to drag everyone down to their level. Burn it all down.
