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.

Look, I get the centrist impulse to browbeat anyone to your left. I get that you see a rich nazi's money. I get that you want his money by any means, and know the easiest way to get it is to collaborate, but if you're gonna collaborate with nazis, you'd best get used to being compared to vidkun. Democrats don't take an evil person's money and then be like "sucker!" and run off with it and work contrary to that person's interests. They stay bought. Just like they did with netanyahu and his genocide. That must not happen again here.

No one’s defending collaboration with fascists—we’re pointing out that trying to get a powerful oligarch with control over key infrastructure to behave responsibly is not the same as praising or submitting to him.

You're defending collaboration with nazis in particular. You're claiming that trying to get a wealthy nazi to give you donations is responsibility instead of selling out to a nazi.

During the last election, I watched democrats move to the right on immigration. I watched them throw trans people under the bus. They did this in a stupid attempt to get republicans to vote for them. republicans didn't vote for them. republicans know how to shout "sucker!" and run off. And now I'm watching democrats look at a literal hitler heilin' nazi and be like "oh now look, he's not so bad! We can work with him to get what we (will come to) want!" Against all evidence, you trust establishment democrats to maintain integrity and not sell us all out. I don't. They have no integrity to abandon.
