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.

There's no such thing as "below" someone. All people are equal.

not under capitalism :<

Are they? I do consider scum like Trump, Musk, Putin and fascists like them below me. Although admittedly they hardly qualify as people.

From a moral standpoint maybe, but not an absolutist one.

that's what we like to believe, but simply believing doesn't make it come true

There are 2 groups of people: everyone else and the racist who are below them.

Racists don't like it because they believe their skin colour or location of birth makes them better than others.

Have you worked service jobs before?

[–] StopJoiningWars@discuss.online -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I can't tell which would be worse,

You trying to say me saying everyone should be considered equal is invalid because you think I've never worked a service job.

Or you attempting to say I am below you for having worked them.

Either way, you're a cunt, so dearly fuck right off.

~~It's a secret third option, I suspect. You stated that everyone is equal so (by my interpretation) they meant to show you the difference between theory and practice. As in "if you've ever worked in the service industry you'd have experienced first-hand that often you are not treated as an equal".~~

Everybody is equal, but many assholes don't see it that way.

Edit: nevermind. Just got to the other comments further down and am shown, again, the folly of giving the benefit of the doubt.
