Greenists believe that the world should be a better place for green people, and everyone else too

Orangites believe that the world should only have orange people, and that all greens should be hung

Me?
I’m a greenist-orangite,
why do you ask?

    Are you sure you’re yellow-green, and not amber-green? Or acid-green? Or maybe arctic lime? I’m sure there’s more shades we can cram in there…

      I never even said I’m yellow green. I never said anything to indicate where I fall on the spectrum except in no uncertain terms that I’m not orange.

      And yet you, knowing nothing about me, want to make guesses and conjectures as to where I fall on that spectrum? Based on nothing. Nothing except the vain hope you have that you’ll find a reason to justify calling me an orange. Because all you have are strawmen, made-up arguments about circumstances that you’ve only imagined.

      Also, “yellow-green” is a tertiary color. It’s what you get when you mix yellow with green. Those fancy colors you’re naming, which I don’t doubt you’ve made up entirely, are not on the color wheel.

      Crayola gives its hues silly names, but that doesn’t put them among the only twelve colors that feature on the color wheel. And the fact that you don’t understand the difference only goes to show that your mind is below the level of a middle schooler.

        Yes, it is deeply unclear where you fall on a spectrum that, as we can see from the comic, clearly exists.

          I don’t have to kowtow to you just to convince you that I’m unquestioningly obedient to your flavor of ideology. You’re literally no better than a fucking fascist with that mentality, which was my point from the start. Look in a fucking mirror for once.

          You’re so far beyond green that you made your way around the wheel and came out in the orange, but you still call yourself green and accuse anyone who doesn’t agree with you of being orange.

          The comic is criticizing someone who says “I’m part green and part orange” because green and orange don’t mix. They’re too far apart on the spectrum and would just make brown. Which is only further evidence that “yellow-green,” an actual color on the wheel, isn’t orange.

          If you’re insinuating that a spectrum doesn’t exist, what are you really trying to say? That everything is monochrome? There’s only two colors? “If you’re not precisely my shade of green, then you might as well be orange.” That’s the same mentality the fascists have, you just flipped it around. You’re a fucking hypocrite and have no commitment to the principle of greenism.

            Good god the point smacked you in the face and you still can’t see it.
