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.

This feels weird, but I agree with you, internet stranger.

I was anticipating his clarity once the Psilocybin wore off.

Some say that he's still high to this day.

Compare LA to Phoenix AZ and you go from the description of all the things the green text says are aren't true to them being reality. 4 Chan is probably filled with people from conservative shitholes hating life because they live in a conservative shithole

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, this is what people don't get. Anon goes out in NY and sees that. Go out in Bumfuck, Utah and this are very different

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I mean, everyone on 4chan is just saying exactly what every conservative is saying, but aNoNyMoUs.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't raise kids in conservative shit holes. What if they are gay?

[–] Qwazpoi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't recommend them at all, conservative shitholes I mean unless maybe you are very well off and have passive income. Living in a place where people are basically ready to freak out over someone saying good morning as they pass and all the weird hate and suspicion towards everyone around them isn't healthy. It's like a culture built around having an enemy freaks out when there's no immediate external one and looks for enemies within.

Maybe it'll be gay people maybe it won't necessarily be that bad for them, hate culture is fickle and not based around logic, sometimes it's something of a comfort blanket for some people. Some people respond to be controlling and and others that claim to be in power and project control. People who grow up under "My house, my rules" type of homes grow up and vote for people who project that aura.

Yeah other comments have a point that you can run into assholes anywhere, but politics most definitely shape communities no matter how much people say they don't. Redlining shaped entire communities for over half a century, to pretend a neighborhood built around being held down because it's primarily an out group is suddenly going to have a drastically different way of life after some policies stopped is moronic. That's only one thing that causes a culture built around stratification, there's plenty of problems. Sometimes the damage is already done and actual policies need to be done to reverse it or else people are just stuck. Some policies are hard to really get into detail and convey just exactly how damaging they are especially to people who were never even taught those policies exist to begin with.

I know that this isn't exactly what you were getting into, I guess I just wanted to dig a bit further into my points seeing as how people are still interested days later. Getting into the politics of it requires some knowledge of history. Basically political landscapes shape culture for better or worse

oh yeah def. another point is that rural America, and especially the most trumpy parts, is dead economically. urban America has it's problems but at least you can get a job for the most part.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a shame that this is fake gay

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Knew it was fake as soon as it started with >Go Outside

Life in a walkable city

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is 100% true 50% of the time

Perhaps outside is so nice because all the haters are locked inside 4chan doing that annoying fucking captchca over and over.

[–] spaffel@spaffel.social 26 points 2 months ago

It’s true

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

✅ Fake

✅ Gay

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So "outside" is real? I don't understand. Can someone give me a download like or something?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I dunno but am I crazy or is that onigumo?

[–] lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The issue is not that we anons are fat. The issue is our personality. That is why we do not have qt3.14gf.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its too bad there isn't a gym for one's personality.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There is, it’s going outside and talking to people. Also therapy.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

Talking to people doesn't make me a better person. It makes me mask and feel further alienation. (Though yes, being completely alone is awful so I still socialize.)

And I can't talk to a therapist for many many reasons.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

You mean I got that protractor to measure the angles on my face for no reason? Dammit...

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Shhh. Let them stay at home, I don't need the competition.
