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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
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.
No, they aren't. And those aren't all my views. I identified as a libertarian before it was co-op'ed and went off the rails (it was always filled with some crazies and ano-libs I guess) but it's relatively right on a global scale.
I'm CONSTANTLY called a Nazi and fascist here.
Can you give an example of a "centrist" view you have that got you called a Nazi?

Too scared to post actual political opinion, lmao
I'll bite. What views of yours do you hold that you consider to be Libertarian?
