A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
A. Opposing far right policy is opposing rich people. They're choosing policy that let's them exploit more people with less consequences.
B. You can be upset at multiple things at once. There's good reason to be against the general "right wing voter" mentality as well as wealth inequality.
The Venn diagram of far right and the rich is the circle.
No. It's a plan to pull working class to voting against their class interests. It's a conveyer into right wing voting.
I mean its much more than a diversion if you are among the trans people they want to annihilate.
I mean I am not but still...shit is even worse for them than it is for poor people right now
I don't disagree, though I will add: there is a lot more to right-wing politics than being anti-trans. Shit is bad for all groups except the rich, and divide and conquer is a thing.
None of that is meant to belittle the trans experience at the moment. I am aware of the fact that they are, minimally, a kind of sacrificial lamb, and I can only hope that the situation improves.
Right-wing politics basically requires one or more sub-cultutes to demonize. It's hate and blame politics, pure and simple.
As long as the politicians have someone to wag a finger at and blame for all problems, it rallies their supporters. Nazis had the Jews, Republicans have everyone else that they declare different.
Right/left only exists to stop us from realizing it should be top/bottom
All warfare is class warfare
Totally. The idea being that you'll just take whatever bullshit in the meantime because you get to vote for the controlled opposition party every 4 years.
Party of the rich vs party of the wealthy
Plans within plans, oh yeah its all part of the plan
