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.

He said that with capitalism we'd become overwhelmed with choice and freedom and food and entertainment to the point where we'd be incapable of making a decision for ourselves?

That's what he said really?

no he has not said that. this is about the theory of alienation

it has nothing to do with getting overwhelmed with freedom and choice

No, alienation under late stage capitalism. He talked about it extensively.
