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.

The more extreme someone's views, the more likely they are to talk about them.

People with moderate views generally avoid talking politics as much as possible.

I think it's also that the more you talk about and involve yourself in politics the more you get radicalized, it works both ways

Not necessarily, being around people who are obsessed with politics is a good way to put you off politics.

Being on Lemmy is bad enough sometimes.

Fucking amen to that. I thought Reddit was shrill with the politics.
