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.

You say know what it is, and yet your original comment shows you don't. You clearly never questioned if the information you were receiving about China was perhaps filtered. You barely hesr about the hundreds of millions that China has lifted out of extreme poverty, you do hear, get video clips, and see constant reposts when an escalator has a catastrophic failure a decade ago.
They are literally rounding people up with tattoos and sending them to work camps in El Salvador, so you're not exactly up to date.
I'm not even a big China fan, I just recognized the bias in what you were saying. You're assumptions about China are like my dad thinking there's a good chance he'll win the lottery because every day he hears about a lottery winner. If the media that reported on every lottery winner had to also spend equal time reporting in every lottery loser, that would disabuse everyone of that notion.
You're upset not because I accused you of something that is false, but that you know I'm right and that's embarrassing for you.
