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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Depends on what you think the status quo and natural order of life is.
If you think the status quo and order of life is burning coal and oil (and drill baby drill), then anything that changes that is radical, liberal, and evil to their way of life. That was the world they grew up in, so that's the world they want to conserve.
Only if you can see the bigger picture and beyond your personal life does conservative and conservation become anti pollution.
