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.

Like when people start commenting on the near-east conflict. Hardly anyone knows what the fuck is going on there yet we find many experts on the topic in the comments.

I don't think this is wrong. I've learned so much talking shit. I even use talking shit as a mechanism to learn.

I talk shit -> someone corrects me -> I learned something new. The person feels great because they corrected someone.

It's like a free lesson and everyone wins.

Even people who didn't know shit, like me, get to read someone beating my ass with arguments, and they also learn.

But if nobody knows much of anything on the matter, how can anyone be sure they're being corrected and learning anything? 🤔

Sources.

By the way, I have the feeling someone is about to teach me something.

That is a nice, refreshing and honest view. If I'm being honest with myself, this happened to me very often as well.

"please stop fighting and get along" is my fundamental take on most wars. It's not particularly useful, but it helps me split the average soldier from the average "leader" that sent them to die.
