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.

Stop

Giving

Them

Oxygen

If the media would stop giving creeps airtime (outside of ridicule), they’d fade into obscurity. But instead we get to “hear both sides of the story” when one side is just spouting nonsense and lies.

when 5 ~~people~~ billionaires own all the media, they can pick and choose what topics people have their attention on

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which raises the question of why it's on the front page here.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the billionaires are upstream of Lemmy. No one on here is posting their original research and first hand journalism.

original research and first hand journalism, famous competitors for your focus against... pictures of 4chan posts

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You want to run that past some sort of basic grammar check? I have no idea what you're trying to say.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

no i think i'll label that one under 'you problem'

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Okay. If you don't actually want to be understood, you aren't really trying to communicate. Your just mumbilng to yourself. I don't need to listen. Have a nice time talking to yourself.

I had no issue understanding what he hypnicjerk said. So I'm gonna agree with him that's it's a you problem

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Which is exactly why these morons remain relevant. News media needs this chaos to drive engagement and division.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Okay, but if we post this shit it gets upvotes. And I crave online attention and validation.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I crave online validation too so I just repost memes, firstpost obvious takes, and post things that make me say "Neat" to the community I created for that express purpose.

I can't compete with my Grandmother's deep fried Minions memes

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Don't forget shitty music! They also spout that sometimes

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm going to talk about it but only as a reference point for how unpopular and sad the right actually is. If rating were votes, they wouldn't even be top 3rd party.
