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.

Noone was citing those figures, but Marx saw the industrial revolution, at least. We take what's relevant, and dismiss what isn't - implying Voltaire was smart, so we should uncritically agree with everything he wrote is unhinged.

Would you rather defend the necessity of the master/servant model, or concede that the argument you outsourced is irrelevant pre-industrial nonsense?
