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-----

Don't try to backtrack and play the victim card.
Your position is as transparent as glass. It boils down to being apologetic to authoritarianism regimes, and dismissing their despicable actions, while over exaggerating the problems of western democracies in order to paint them as the "bad guys".
It's nothing new and not as subtle as you think.
Hey, just want to commend you for being so nice to that disingenuous commenter above. Thanks for making Lemmy a nice place to be :)
