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'm not saying it isn't. I'm saying a lot of the things in the post were only accessible to people with privilege.
Being 20 in the US in 1969 and not getting drafted into Vietnam? Summer of 69 being more defined by Woodstock than the racial justice uprising that swept across black communities virtually every summer of the 60s (including 69)? Finding a woman who grew up in a super tiny town and her NOT being super racist against you? Getting a well-paying job with no qualifications? Not getting redlined out of being allowed to buy a decent house, let alone being allowed to buy 10 acres?
None of that was accessible to people of color, poor people, or women, let alone openly lgbtq people.
I think it's also funny that edgelords who feel disenfranchised by the current system despite performing white patriarchy will usually hang around 4chan. Next post is probably how women and minorities being in positions of power is why they aren't getting their dues.
