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.

I never claimed that neoliberalism is what gave us capitalism. What's with people arguing against points I never made?
I said claiming that "we would have neoliberalism one way or another" is a part of the lie that "capitalism is inevitable." Nothing you said refutes that.
Not at all. Heads of state of influential world superpowers absolutely have a disproportionate effect on the development of the world for decades and even generations after their time in office.
If you can't see that, then I guess you believe the world is purely deterministic and human choice doesn't matter, so then I guess you're also a nihilist who says we shouldn't vote or fight for climate action or even resist fascism, because apparently the people in power don't matter, and human choices don't matter, so why the fuck should anyone try to make a difference anyway?
I guess we can't hold anyone in power accountable for the results of their decisions, because that would be "great man/woman" fallacy, right? Let's all stay in bed and drink ourselves into comas, because capitalism and neoliberalism aren't the results of human choices, but somehow some inevitable part of existence itself.
Go home.
