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.

I'm hard pressed to point to any ten-year period in which some number of Doomers did not insist The World Is Ending.
Like, take your pick of any ten-year span during the Cold War. That butted right up against the OG World Wars, with a Great Depression breather. Before that you had plagues, famines, and economic crashes that shat all over '08 and COVID.
Westoids live in the wealthiest, easiest, most affluent era of human history. Then someone points out "hey, eating burger every day isn't sustainable" and they conclude the world is over.
I imagine you will continue to get disliked and I will as well, but the world isn't over and it's not going to end for a long time. People are always going to claim doom in their current time.
No matter how fucked everything is in the world right now, we are, on average, still significantly better off than almost every other human in all of existence.
And that must mean that existence is suffering. Lol
xD agree on that point
