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.

It's a dark way of looking at it but every problem modern society and the earth is facing could be solved by having the human race drop back about 40-55%

If we go back to about 3 billion people on earth most of the problems would be solved.

Yes but also no.

We have the means to support everyome, but we also have a small minority assholes who are OBSESSED with making spreadsheet numbers go up so we can't because profits are all that matter.

If we dropped the population, it'll be the bottom that would be targeted first.

Nah. The greed of the .01% is infinite.

Those problems all existed when we were a few million people.

The ancient civilizations are full of people bitching about how miserable life is and how if we only all followed God(s) all our issues would be magically solved. Sound familiar?
