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 combined losses of the first world war are far lower than those of the Taiping rebellion (in absolute numbers, the discrepancy is even higher per capita)

The arrows are tripping me out. The ones on the China line are basically saying this event caused this population decline. But if you apply that logic to the Europe line, the arrow says the population increased during the black death.
