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.

In my older age I've come to the realization that a lot of people join movements just to belong, not because they actually hold the conviction. I think in fact there are people who aren't capable of even having a conviction, just bouncing between whatever expressive habits are most convenient socially

You see it with things like politics and religion too

Its hard to be morally consistent. But not impossible.

Some people clearly aren't even trying.

Absolutely. There are also people who are just contrarians and will define their current views as the opposite of what's currently accepted.
