Yeah, I’ve never been to 4chan, but think a greentext is a specific type of 4chan post (with a green background) where the poster shares some story from their life, often starting with the phrase “be me”. Apparently there’s an oft-used catchphrase response “Fake and gay”, often followed up with reasoning like “Fake: nobody wears flares any more. Gay: op is clearly lusting after his homies.”
Like I say, I’ve never been there and this might all be very incorrect.

You can sugar coat it however you like and No-True-Scotsman till the cows come home, but North Korea, iirc, even today, kills, imprisons and tortures more people for their beliefs than any other country.
Believing that atheists are somehow immune from shittiness is absurd. No broad category of people is immune from shittiness.
You are completely correct. Putin used to work for the KGB back when Russia considered itself communist. Many, many things are broken, including this meme and my attempt at a reinterpretation of it.
At first I thought “Nazis wouldn’t take communist dick”, but then I remembered Trump and Putin.
(The baby isn’t Palestine, though, it’s the global trade war Trump is starting or Elon Musk or JD Vance or something.)
I haven’t been on reddit for a long time. When you say “offered stock options”, do you mean they offered you the opportunity to invest in stock, or discounted stock, or free stock?
Top notch banter.
I worry that your point is even worse than I thought.
Very true.
It’s been genuinely good to talk. All the best for next week.
You and I completely and utterly disagree.
(I meant it as a compliment.)

Dystopian.
In the UK, former Prime Minister Liz “crash the economy within 40 days off taking office” Truss proposed criminalising giving homeless people a tent.
I was appalled.
It didn’t get passed, partly because her party got rid of her faster than you can say “unpopular economic mismanagement”, thank goodness.
The more people that treat homeless people as valuable human beings the better the world is.
I think you’re quite a few decades out of date with that opinion. The Chinese government is very worried about population decline now.
The nasty bit was telling a mother she has to have an abortion against her will.
China now has the opposite problem of a declining population, which causes problems because of the working age population is small compared to the older population, you end up running out of money so you either have to tax more heavily or abandon older folks to their fate without helping them.
The declining population problem is very common in wealthier countries.
And lower population means fewer jobs. The number of jobs that need doing in a country doesn’t depend on the area of the land, it depends on the population size. The problems come when governments don’t build infrastructure. If you don’t build schools and hospitals and suchlike, three are fewer jobs in construction and less money going into the local economy, and schools and hospitals get crowded and do a worse job.
Excellent. Thanks for answering. This was really worth asking and I think that there’s ocean of good in you. I’m intrigued by “likely to become a crime pretty soon” but don’t feel you have to elaborate.
Yeah, I get that, but you’re avoiding the question: what are you proud of, for yourself?
See, this stuff with putting other people down, it just makes me wonder if there’s not anything in your own life to feel positive about? Like, what are you proud of, for yourself?
How right you are, and how wrong I am. The clues were there for me to pick up, like it’s in the name, and I’ve only seen hundreds of screenshots of it and i can’t quite believe I thought this for so long without even the slightest logical thought or questioning of the reasoning. Doh!
