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.

Ah, so now we’ve arrived at the part of the conversation where you start yelling “quisling” like a drunk history major trying to sound profound in a Reddit flame war. Look, if you're going to throw around World War II analogies, maybe at least get the dynamics right. No one’s defending collaboration with fascists—we’re pointing out that trying to get a powerful oligarch with control over key infrastructure to behave responsibly is not the same as praising or submitting to him. You can hate someone’s guts and still be forced to deal with them when they’ve wormed their way into controlling satellites, manufacturing, and public discourse. That’s not “toadyism,” that’s a sign of how broken and lopsided the system is.

What’s hilarious is how fast you flipped the script. First, you accuse Democrats of warming to Musk—then when I point out they actually see him as dangerous but are forced to deal with him, you spin that as betrayal anyway. So which is it? Do they love him, or are they spineless for working with someone they distrust? You can’t even hold your own narrative steady for five minutes.

And let’s not pretend you're some paragon of ideological purity here, lobbing insults from the moral high ground. You’re doing the online version of smashing your toy soldiers together and declaring victory with a word like “quisling” while completely missing the point. No one here worships Elon. I literally said I’d laugh if Tesla crashed and Elon got roasted, and you still managed to accuse me of “defending” him. If you think that’s defending, maybe you need to reset your sarcasm meter—or just your whole personality.

Anyway, go ahead and shout into the void some more. I'm sure the ghosts of the Third Reich are super impressed with your vocabulary.
