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.

That's not weird. That's how functional societies reconcile when they aren't subjected to endless propaganda and fear mongering.

I mean, it is weird in the sense that it is unusual. But that doesn't make it bad, in fact it should become more normal.

I'd go so far as to say it's bad that it is unusual

Yeah, I wouldn't say history shows humans usually treat outsiders really nicely but I agree this should be an example we strive for.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

With these social bubbles?!

No what’s ‘weird’ is so many not understanding that ‘weird’ isn’t automatically negative. or maybe more disturbing that so many automatically go there at first instinct.

“Surprising” or “unexpected” are probably a better words due to connotations and all.
