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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here. (lemmy.world)

Ah yes, like Europe?

Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Hungary? Which ~~socialist~~ right wing "paradise" should I visit?

Or maybe Germany, where the AfD is gathering steam?

Maybe actually learn about the world before spouting sayings you learned on Twitter 3 years ago.

Europe sure has a big resurgence in right wing politics, however a socialist left is still represented (albeit on the decline).

I’m not stating that there is a socialist paradise somewhere, just that in the US you can hardly consider the left "left" (Overton window, yadi yada)
