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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"amazing quality of life"
Sure, if you're the right kind of super citizen.
Yea, when choosing a fictional world to aspire for, it's useful to consider how most citizens are treated.
Our current world is great too, for some.
let's use the veil of ignorance for this one - when choosing a model society to aspire for pretend you have no idea where you'll be placed in it. maybe 80% is doing decently, 5% is doing well, and 15% is doing really bad, are you ready to potentially become a part of the 15%? if not, let's find a different model
Given how many people are willing to bet their money on far worse odds, I think an 85% chance of winning is a bet a lot of people would be willing to take.
Anon is probably the kind of person who also thinks Sparta was great, and just disregards that 90% of the population there were slaves.
seems more likely, being it's 4chan; that they're 100% aware and in-favor of the slaves, just that they believe they'll always be in that lucky 10%. Same goes for idolizing Super Earth -- it's never them that'll be sent to a freedom camp, until it happens, it's always something that happens to someone else who "probably deserved it"
