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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

He's heavily pro-establishment and is of the type that'll defend it at any cost which makes me wonder if he isn't being paid to shill just like what would happen on Reddit. Though then again, he could genuinely feel that the way things are is to his benefit. He could be the type that looks at his neighbors walking down the street and thinks they are good servants for him.
I legit didn't realize there were a lot of people who genuinely are okay with and want the authoritarian nightmare we're stuck in until I started seeing people like him on Lemmy, point in fact. He's not the only pro status quo concern troll I've seen on here. Far from it.
People like him are creepy af.
