If I get what you're saying...
1: Regular text
2: >greentext
On 4chan, starting a line with ">" makes the text green, hence the name. It is often used to write stories in the present tense, as in:
>be me
>be bored at work
>go on HN
>lol new* can't even greentext.
>told him to delete system32
- NoGravitas 10y agoI don't think the GP is asking about quoting, but about the slightly altered repetition. "This is prison." "This is America." The best I can do for giving a name to it is [literary parallelism][0]. There may be a more specific poetic term, but I don't know it and couldn't come up with it.
