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.

The libertarian flag is yellow and black. The anarchist flag is black and red.

The implication is that a libertarian only looks like an anarchist by proximity. As soon as they're left to their own devices, they're revealed to be Christian Nationalists (the black symbol on white robes is used by the Klan.)

Very badly rendered swastika flag. You can kinda sorta see the black pixels at the center making up the crooked cross.

That comic is so crusty that im surprised you can still see the red arm band.

I thought black and gold was the ancap flag, not libertarian.

It's the same picture

Most ancaps/right-libertarians are often just right-authoritarians that like drugs, addicted to loli-hentai (although this one is falling out of fashion due to "nofap" reasons), weirdly "free speech extremists", etc. Exceptions may apply.

I think labeling is so fucking stupid. Like I get that itโ€™s easier to shove a label on people and yourself, but weโ€™re seriously assigning an entire fucking socio-political economic identity to this kid from like 2 Goodreads reviews and a few Facebook posts?

Gimme a fucking break

They might be referring to anon's flag in the greentext?

Yellow/Black is the flag of anarcho-capitalism.

Don't worry. It's stupid.

Base on what I've read about this kid: I probably wouldn't like him as a person. I probably wouldn't agree with a lot of the things he believes, and I'd probably vehemently oppose a lot of it. I don't think he's a genius -- in fact I think he's probably a similar to the edgy, dumb kid I was at that age.

Sometimes "good" people do bad things, and sometimes "bad" people do good things: real people aren't one dimensional caricatures.
