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 incel mindset is an elaborately constructed self-reinforcing worldview. Anything that might lead to self-improvement is cut off with hopelessness and self-loathing and thought-terminating cliches.

And Schneier's Law applies: "Any person can invent a security system so clever that she or he can't think of how to break it." Incels trap themselves in a fiendish bespoke prison they have constructed for their own torment. If they didn't direct that torment outward at people who don't deserve it, they would be pitiable.
