Nope, I don't buy it.

  • An estimated one out of every 500 Americans is homeless
  • Unarmed noncombatant civilian women and children are being bombed, shot, and starved to death.
  • There has been a nearly 70% reduction in wild vertebrates worldwide since 1970
  • The leading cause of death among children and teens in america is firearms

Privileged westerners could do something about these things, but they are sipping their pumpkin spice lattes and congratulating each other for putting their shopping carts back because, you know, it's the ultimate test of moral righteousness. Ugh.

So why haven't you stopped the bombing?

I'm sure they'll get around to it right after they finish the eating this next vertebrate.

Great question. It turns out protesting doesn't seem to have that much effect, unless a lot more people participate.

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.
