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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yes, and as I already said elsewhere, speak to be understood. In the US, I have to account for semantic drift. You don't, which is great, but 4chan is an American institution.
So, when the comment we're all replying under drew the comparison between liberal and 4chan, the underlying context was that this was from an American perspective. So I talked about that, instead of talking about all possible contexts. Isn't language neat?
Yes, Americans are ignorant, but it's because of our incredibly loud propaganda. I would ask for kindness, but I'm certainly not gonna force it. I get being frustrated by the American-centric-ness that we all sort of drag around with us. I try to be humble, but it's really hard to know the shit you don't know, ya know?
