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.

Indigenous women have been disappearing to the concern of absolutely nobody in the country for decades. If anything, the rise in fascist ideology in the US has made people more aware and critical of the racism that already existed in Canadian society

That's true, it has emboldened both the bigots and progressives, but I feel like the bigots have turned that boldness into action and change.
