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.

Something, something... The USA, the 13th amendment, and for-profit prisons.

At least they won't take your organs though. Right?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Not all of them.

[–] [email protected] 112 points 5 months ago (4 children)

This is so wrong, you can’t take the organs if they’ve been worked to death, then failing is what “their bodies give up” means. You either work them to death or use them as an organ bank. Not both.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Maybe you can get the best of both worlds. Work them a little and then harvest their organs somewhere down the road? Maybe we can have a lottery system where the winner gets their organs harvested.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

What if you work them to death nonphysically. Just mental death via mindnumbing drugery. Have them do something like data entry. Then their organs will still be good and as a bonus they will be begging to have them removed.

I know this is the plot from a movie, but I can't remember the name. Help me out here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I literally made this whole thing up so if it is a movie then I do not know it :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

“ Hell Money “ it’s a good X-files episode.

Found the Rimworld player

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I think body giving up is usually starvation, organs are still good!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

You can compost them afterwards to produce energy.

Not to defend the Nazis here, but working prisoners to death predates them by a couple millenia. They just did it on an unprecedented scale.

Ironically, what the Nazis did in the extermination camps was mass executions, i.e. the very thing anon finds wasteful.

The Extermination Camps only served the purpose so exterminate people(couldn't have guessed). After 1942 however, Concentration Camps were used to produce stuff and to lend the prisoners to other businesses. Before 1942 Concentration camps were exactly what Anon described. Treat your prisoners poorly, so they die.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

No, even in extermination camps they kept the hairs to make wigs and used melted fat from bodies to make soap... yeah.

"treating them like slave"

literally describing slavery

Soviet gulags are probably closer to this innovative anon vision than german camps. More work, less purposeful death. Still awful, but not surprising coming from shithole like soviet union.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And it's probably how a huge amount of USA prisons works today

Let's not pretend anon is unaware of the Nazi parallels. Someone who would post this has already done the research.

Most likely using a VPN/German server and replying to themselves on a separate instance or PC as well.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah if you think I’m going to be a willing slave you tripping, I’ll make you shoot my ass and end it lol.

This thought occurred to me in the movie Belfast where people be digging their own graves knowing they gonna die soon. I suppose you never know, as the movie touched on they cling to hope and a little more time alive.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Generally it's not the threat of death it's the punishment.

They won't outright kill you right away and if they do its gonna drag on as long as they can make it last.

And even if you're resistant to torture your family/friends might not be.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Good point.

I don’t think I’d be resistant to torture at all.

Someone has played a little too much Rimworld.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact: prisoners/slaves will eat animal kibble if you make it the only thing they are allowed to eat.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Colonists too. Just good luck keeping their mood up afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah nah. Kibble is for people whose minds I want to break.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I usually use corpses for that and save my kibble for the animals over winter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Corpses are inefficient if you don't butcher and process them

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

True, but its all about the aesthetics of eating your rotting friend because they had the audacity to raid my colony.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I usually go for processesing them into kibble route while the non-cannabal friendly colonists take a walk to the next colony over. If you cross me then my ducks will feast on your pulped and dried flesh. Thems the rules.

Hey, it's the milk industry!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

There's a reason it's called milking
