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.

“Liberal Democratic Party”, rules for decades uninterrupted, representing the largest capitalist families and the USA and cracks down and any leftists sentiment, sometimes extremely violently. Cool! Cyberpunk!
