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:

I'm surely just deranged, but I wholeheartedly believe I can tell someone's political leaning without even having to speak to them, just from their appearance. So far I've had incredible accuracy.

Edit: nothing against anyone commenting, but I don't care a lot about this particular innocuous comment and don't want to have discussions about it forever, so I'm going to quit replying to new comments, feel free to leave them or downvote me or whatever, I'm just dipping on this greentext thread.

"If they have hair that isn't a natural human hair color, I know they're a liberal."

So, this is usually true for a lot of women, but oddly a lot of conservative men have colored hair, I wouldn't use just hair color of course.

You guys can get super butthurt, but I'll bet I could guess you guys out in public too.

There's a lot that people give away about themselves from the way they walk to the faces they make to the gestures they use.

People are butthurt because literally the only evidence you've used to support your claim so far is "trust me bro"

I don't know, I don't know why we're all still talking about this inane comment on a greentext post. Can we stop?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well, can you make a pretty good guess at someone's profession and wealth by looking at them? Putting aside actual political apparel and some hobby/in-group indicators (EG RealTree camo or anime merchandise) that's probably the correlation.

Back when image recognition AI was the hot topic I recall someone did a study which used it to identify the vehicles parked in front of homes and businesses from street view photos, and used it to predict a county's overall political leaning with very high accuracy. I'm sure that same logic extends to clothes, hairstyle, accessories and cleanliness.

Yeah no, you might just be the former. Sure, appearance and body language sometimes works due to stereotyping, but it's definitely not the most reliable metric.

I wanna see you try to guess my political leaning, who knows, with your 'incredible accuracy' you might just get it right.

Send me a video of you shot when you didn't know you were being recorded or meet me in person I guess because I'm not sure how else to do it fairly, but I'm pretty sure I could get you right.

I found the shitlib final boss. I can just smell the smugness over the wireless connection. Imagine being white enough to write this.

You’re Republican?!?! 🤣🤣🤣

Why would you be against bots as a mouth-breathing Republican?!!! Now I’ve seen everything.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ew, not even just Republican, but an Elon Stan, you're so gross.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Elon stan? No. In fact, I started the anti Elon musk community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So one of your favorite topics is the man, the myth, the musk, Elon Musk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Inasmuch as anyone’s favorite topic is the fascist cancer sucking the life out of society.
