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.

  1. War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government
  2. War on Terror - PATRIOT Act, or whatever its current incarnation is
  3. War on Woke - probably government access to medical records and/or privacy generally, but I guess we'll see

War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government

And increase incarceration of certain people to expand legal slavery under the 13th amendment.
