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.

Also, duckduckgoing it, there are quite a few sources that still claim that the British Empire wasn't profitable for the government in Britain, or regular British people, e.g.:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/2598015

https://iea.org.uk/media/empire-and-slavery-did-not-make-britain-rich-finds-new-iea-book/

(I'm not that knowledgable about the quality of these particular sources, just demonstrating that the claim isn't rare)
