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.

Those views you're describing are pretty lefty. Why so reluctant to own that instead of forcing yourself to be "an asshole" for not being subsumed into every possible position?

I'm left as fuck and can still disagree with people I am affiliated with. Maybe quit trying to be perfectly in one group or another and ignore the idiots who claim you must be in support of every possible policy position to qualify for their approval.

Sure they're loud, but bailing on supporting the party that represents the majority of your personal feelings because someone over there was unhappy you didn't support their pet policy position is dumb. Get thicker skin or you're just like them, unwilling to compromise.
