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.

I've said it quite a few times now so listen up.

This hypothetical person in the green text is in the wrong. However my issue is that it is painted as an issue with the generation rather than just plain human decency. This could be an issue with anyone. It's deliberately used to paint the generation in a negative light and is an attempt at pretty tribalism that has been tried with every generation.

This tactic has been used to separate generations and create tribalism especially politically for years and I do not condone it.

It's just how humans work. In your zealousy you became what you hated

Yeah absolutely humans are predisposed to tribalism, the issue is when you allow that predisposition to be weaponized.

Nobody is conspiring to wedge the generations brother

If you don't think anyone weaponizes tribalism you haven't seen the GOP messaging over at least the last 8 years
