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.

The fact that nobody watched the damned thing but everyone seems to want to talk about it should say something about the state of American politics.

Stop

Giving

Them

Oxygen

If the media would stop giving creeps airtime (outside of ridicule), they’d fade into obscurity. But instead we get to “hear both sides of the story” when one side is just spouting nonsense and lies.

when 5 ~~people~~ billionaires own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Which raises the question of why it's on the front page here.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Because the billionaires are upstream of Lemmy. No one on here is posting their original research and first hand journalism.

Which is exactly why these morons remain relevant. News media needs this chaos to drive engagement and division.

Okay, but if we post this shit it gets upvotes. And I crave online attention and validation.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

I crave online validation too so I just repost memes, firstpost obvious takes, and post things that make me say "Neat" to the community I created for that express purpose.

I'm going to talk about it but only as a reference point for how unpopular and sad the right actually is. If rating were votes, they wouldn't even be top 3rd party.

Don't forget shitty music! They also spout that sometimes
