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

I think everything West is leftish at the moment.
The Soviet Union went alt right, what could be more natural for the west to go left?
I'm Gen X, it's all a bit too weird for me.
Still, don't conservative parties in the EU still believe in things like climate change, heathcare, workers rights, etc?
Aren't they more isolationist (pro Russian), against immigration (hard to blame them there), and anti checks and balances (fuck that)?
