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.

Queen's dodger can mean

  • someone who lives with the queen
  • someone who performs crimes on behalf of the queen
  • someone who finds those called for the draft but have not registered on behalf of the queen

Which is it?

To watch tv in UK you need a tv licence

This was done as sort of a tax to fund public television without taxing people who don’t use it

The person then concludes that they should have voted for the nazis because liberals bad

I can't believe that is a real thing.

I mean you do in the US as well, but it's called "A Netflix/Hulu/Disney Plus membership"

And it only funds one channel instead of dozens of TV, radio, web, apps, weather and news channels.

Also publicly funded TV tends to be way better. They have somewhat more accountability so especially news, politics etc tends to be much better. For leisure programs that varies a bit more by country, but obviously the BBC has produced a lot of great stuff.

Fact check: they only casually call you a cunt in Scotland

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

True - in the south they call you a berk.

Not true, it just sounds more like Kant south of the border, which I think makes us sounds more philosophical.

Cunt is a greeting, not an offence.

American flag checks out.

This reads like a satire of those greentexts that satirize the knife laws in Britain.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

It definitely reads like it was written by an American.

I know Anons are dumb, but are they voting for Nigel Farage dumb?

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

Which is worse, Thatcher or Farage?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thatcher’s thangs were thangin’ though.

Every time Thatcher sexily spoke about fiscal responsibility I got an inch and a half of blue steel in my sweatpants.

Well of course! Facism is the solution to an overbearing government, right?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago

They're so dumb that they're doing it ironically

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago

Surely you know better than to ask that, Satan
