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.

I still remember conspiracy theory that we are ruled by pedophiles....

In early 2000s....

In 2020s this is a well know, properly documented fact.

Casting couch jokes... Were not jokes either...

Mass government surveillance without warrants... Also a know fact ... Now

All of these were "conspiracies"

Lab leak theory was suppressed aggressively, now it is considered viable but we just don't know

Regime propganda appratus can't even keep its narrative straight anymore but sadest part is that with polarization, they don't have to. Normies will larp their team no matter what, like docile dogs

It is disgusting seeing what should adult people behave in such a way. Caring more about politics than people around them

So we really got the rulers we deserve as a body of people.

What always gets me in a conspiracy thinking spiral is remembering that the people (that were always portrayed as total nutters) talking about the us gov investigating mind control and drugging people were right (mk ultra, etc).

I maintain that "conspiracy theory" should not be a thought stopper. One should not disregard something just because it seems like a classic "conspiracy theory". Most people I discuss stuff like that with just stop thinking after forming the thought "conspiracy theory".

On the other side we see what happens if people "do their own research"...
