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.

The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.

Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.

So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.

California is bad for voting to keep prison slavery and refusing to solve the housing crisis with a council housing system much like the UK used to have.

Perfection is the ultimate enemy of good. I'd rather be in a place like California than some red state where I have to upload my ID to look at boobs.

Council housing? You mean social security houses that get supplied to you if you earn almoat nothing?

The Netherlands has that to this day, but that doesn’t solve the issue

Yeah but could you imagine voting for them?

It’s all relative. Lots of personal freedom, taxed like a mother fucker.

As it should be honestly but there are many people that don’t see it that way and view taxation as a form of oppression.

I don't think the above commenter is saying GOP isn't worse, but having lived there for a few years and since moved away, it's taxed quite a bit more than other states. You definitely get a lot more out of it, so it's just that tradeoff. Either you pay little taxes and have to pay separately for private things to do everything yourself (good for rich people, bad for everyone else), or you pay more taxes but have way more public services.
