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.

MODERATORS
Yes in aggregate, that's my point. You're arguing against the increasing saturation of social media, that simply doesn't exist. You're arguing against historical trends in radicalization despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
I have observed it, and of course conservatives aren't going to admit to shielding themselves with it openly, that defeats the purpose. If someone holds largely conservative views, but pretends to be moderate to avoid backlash, they are conservative.
Yes, but you're wrong. In aggregate political sophistication isn't increasing. That's my point.
There are no "mountains of evidence to the contrary."
"Everybody who disagrees with me is lying" is a view that's not particularly sophisticated.
Right, but who is even one person who is doing this?
