People with extreme views are also more vocal, so that's what you see. That's why social media is bad for you. If gives you a very distorted view of the world. Most people are able to look at politics with nuance.

This, plus everyone is concerned with engagement. If I say a perfectly normal statement on Facebook or X or whatever, no one will care so no one will comment or interact with it. If I say that Jesus wants us to make America white again, even the people who disagree with me will only be boosting my message by commenting.

Jesus wants us to make America white again

I love this. It's so dumb in so many different ways, but I can easily see people unironically saying it.

Reminds me of

Of course the Bible was written in English. How else would Jesus, the greatest American ever, write it?

I mean, he would believe it if he was a Mormon, the most American Religion.

This is so true, I had a phase in my life where basically all my political social interactions were reading other people's takes on reddit. After a while I found a job and after getting to know people there I realized how insane the takes on political stuff in internet are.

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.
