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.

Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays. (lemmy.world)

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

Hey there!

Looks like you had a moderate, down to earth take on the Russia-Ukraine war.

That's a down vote.

But seriously thanks for not attending to the feedback loop of propaganda and childish dick stroking.

I do get it though. Most of us want Ukraine to win. We ignore the information that we don't like. It's human.

But it's not helpful, especially when the reality sinks in that this war isn't easy, and thousands of young men are dying.

99% of what I see regarding this topic is either straight up war propaganda or people who are unabashedly unafraid to let others know that they are totally ignorant of post WW2 geo politics.

Anything other than "DAE just love Ukraine and that charismatic Zelensky! 😍😍" gets down voted to oblivion. Its classic Red Scare 1980's bullshit lol. Even now I'm sure most who read this are scrambling for the down vote button because they think I'm some sort of Russian shill/supporter simply based off the fact that I'm not fellating the West's efforts.

You're not wrong but you're not a victim either. People disagree on message boards, people are dumbasses, that's what we get for hanging out here.

I'm not sure what led you to believe that I think I'm a victim of anything other than western propaganda, something I have in common with 99.9% of Americans.
