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.

I enjoy shit talking the silent and boomer gens having it easier, but I know I'm wrong. They were raise by people who went thru the cvil war, ww1, and the great depression. There's a survivorship bias in who you have to hear from, there was the psychological trauma of the constant drum beat of the cold war, the civil rights movement, only being able to live one way. I know they also went thru it, but they are so outsized in their control of the economy and news now I'm just tired of viewing the whole world thru their ancient ass lens.
