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.

I think we just don't like guns.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Eh, the cops are worse than the guns.

Don't be disarming when gestapo in roaming the streets.

(But Anon probably supports the gestapo tho... 🤷‍♂️)

Speak for yourself. God forbid men should have a hobby.

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you really pretending this is about men having hobbies?

[–] the_elder@midwest.social 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I use my rifles for hunting. Some people like collecting and sport shooting. Some have theirs for self defense in higher crime areas because they can't afford better. So yeah?

It can be a hobby, sure. But men having a hobby isnt was was being discussed at all. Nobody cares about men having hobbies, the issue is when this hobby is a potential threat to other people. Isnt this rather obvious?

You know exactly as much as I do about this hypothetical situation. Girlfriend cheats. Guy breaks up. Girl calls cops. Guy gets guns confiscated. If your argument is nothing more than "Well maybe he deserved it" you're an asshole.

Thats just not what im saying.

It sure feels like what you're saying is that due process goes out the window for things you don't like.

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Where you got that from? Looks like your imagining a whole other discussion there

I'm probably just incredibly disillusioned and mad at the state of the world and the lack of nuance on the internet these days and taking it out on you. My apologies.
