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 feel like this is more relatable than the reasons my family insists on staying on the US. All any "decent" people's presence does is "legitimize" the regime and lull the victims and future conscripts into a false sense of security and hope, at this point.

Must be nice to have privilege to just leave. Most countries have strict immigration policy that most amercians wont even qualify for.

I didn't come here to criticize most countries like so, but when you hit the nail on the head like that ...

That said, there are plenty of people who should be willing to all but sell their souls to get out, if they could only see and acknowlege what's coming for them. I'm not here to tell anyone besides magats "get out of my country", but if enough privileged people like me lead by example, maybe more will get the message.
