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.

We've unfortunately built a society, in the US at least, that literally rewards and promotes sociopathy with money.

These people lie and tell you we live in a meritocracy, which itself is gaslighting.

Sociopaths 'overperform' in most kinds of careers, because they're so manipulative.

Ok, so a lot of us agree on these basic facts, that there is this things wrong with the world, and we need a community that is an anti-venom to it.

Also, hi! You are kind of my favorite Lemmy person for some reason.

I feel like a lot of people on lemmy, a lot of reddit refugees... well basically they seem like 10 year younger versions of me, or something similar.

Thus... well fuck, psychoanalyzing myself a bit: I'm basically trying to be the dad or I guess just any kind of actual postitive mentor I wish I'd had, when I say things like this.

'Its dangerous to go alone, read this!'

But yeah, laughter can help, and is a good part of any kind of discussion of the insane bullshit in this world... it doesn't have to be just always jokes all the time, as s coping mechanism... it can be sanity-affirming for a blunt autist such as myself to just wholly explain the nonsense.

That being said: I'm not infallible. Ideally, don't believe a thing I say, verify it.
