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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

except if you overthrow bezos, other billionaires will just take his place, put the insurgeants (is this a word?) in prison and the system persists

You don't overthrow people, you overthrow systems

and as if like there will be one monarch to rule them all! all by himself, waiting by the dock, preparing for a duel.

just because we don't officially call it monarchy, people think that it's a whole new system. every critique you have against monarchy is valid for the billionaires and vice versa.

Oligarchy and monarchy are not the same, but have similarities
