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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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)
