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.

If that's true, it wasn't the reddit user, it was the soldier. You don't fucking give out that kind of info for this reason exactly

Loose lips sink ships.

Eh, it can be both. The soldier shouldn't have posted his location online, but neither should the Redditor have reposted it in public.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

If you're in a life or death situation, it's ABSOLUTELY on you to not expose your location. There's a reason people in the army are supposed to keep operational security, because once the info is out, you can't control where it goes.

Even if you trust everyone you tell, one slip up can fuck you over.

Eh, one is a professional doing a job and the other is a redditor. I put the blame on the professional who put their own life and the others they work with in jeopardy.

posts on Facebook... In private

Imma stop you right there

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I clearly tagged my post as private, what are you implying?

[–] [email protected] 102 points 1 year ago

Some absolute turbo genius Russian propagandist did a livestream by an artillery piece near the front lines, the Ukrainians obviously shelled it.

It happens a lot, sadly.

I swear these people know no opsec

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

This is fucktard level, tho.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you talking about the soldier or the redditor?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Both probably

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be fair, the orcs would have shelled schools anyway. Especially if they aren't abandoned

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would avoid dehumanizing the people you disagree with. It prevents any real understanding of the situation beyond "Russians are evil".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

It also distances you from the reality of it. Human beings just like you are capable of this level of cruelty, and you've got to wrestle with that.

That's funny, I visited Russia years ago, their nickname for Moscow was literally Mordor...

We did it Reddit!

A soldier singlehandedly got multiple safe zones exposed via Facebook.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I don’t believe the abandoned part.
