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.

Pretty much the story of every blue state.
Red Country, Blue City is pretty much the case with every state. The most liberal people I've ever met were in Asheville, North Carolina, and I've never been surrounded by more MAGA-loving chuds than when I spent a summer in Redding, California.
Former Asheville punk, turned loose in the hick side of southwest Nova Scotia. I've seen a disturbing amount of MAGA here, enough to rivel my time in North Carolina... But In Canada.
Shit is wild. Everyone here is xenophobic and racist as it gets.
Also former. Did you get gentrified out of the city too? Have you been back since you left? That town is unrecognizable even to how it was just ten years ago.
Isn't this the story of every rural area in every country? Communities that are out in the middle of nowhere won't have had much cultural exchange and tend to become insular.
