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

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! ๐๐" 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.
