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.

It's genuinely frightening to me that so much European rhetoric against Roma people sounds like 1950s US-era rhetoric against desegregation. Like the US is incredibly racist, and Europeans still somehow find ways to shock me over how they talk about an entire ethnic group.
Or treatment of indigenous people. "We need to take their children away so they can be educated in a safe environment (and not grow up like that)" is not uncommon.
Encouraging people to take away a group's children for the purpose of destroying that group is a violation of the Genocide Convention btw.
It gets easier of course when they don't focus on the racial aspect but instead pick some other factor: we need to steal their children because they are poor, these children deserve better!
