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.

Anon only wants to violate a dead black man's body
are you even allowed to say the real thing here? i don't wanna risk it
There’s no risk, it’s just not funny or interesting. It’s just a box checked. A bigoted box
Yeah. It was maybe funny the first time, it certainly wasn't funny any more the 367392th time, and by now, it's just a stupid thing to say IMHO.
It's fine, people do it all the time.
well this place is modded by someone on sh.itjust.works which is the most based lemmy instance so I don't think there'll be an issue
Just the other day I read a news article about a revision process here, where a guy with more neo-nazi dog whistles than SiegfriedsGermanShepardShop88.com shot an asylum seeker in the head, cut his body apart, wrapped the pieces in barbed wire and dumped them in the river... and only got <7 years for manslaughter, since the first judge found that the guy may be racist, but the target had light skin, therefore it couldn't have been a racially motivated murder.
...yeah.
I don't think you can get manslaughter for literally shooting someone.
Sure you can, if you get the right mix of "not my job" and (presumably) racism in the judiciary system.
Sadly I only have a German link, I didn't find a good English source on the go, so you'll translate it yourself. But it's the public broadcaster, so as centrist/"government-aligned" as you'll get.
