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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I wouldnt concider their political leaning being leftist, since hard soviet communism/maoism is tyranic and goes all the way around to being fascist since they are masters of banning shit with some being as r3t4rd3d as banning abstract art, so i would say they are right leaning. And concidering myself socialist i feel insulted by grouping tankies with me, so thats why i think the better term for them is tankies.
I'm sorry am I reading this right? Are you saying that communism is a right wing ideology?
In practice it is, or maybe those that claim commumism are actually liers and just tyrants, you cant really say the great leap foward in china was a leftist move right? Juat because they say comunism doesnt mean they are not autoritarian and autoritarianism isnt very leftist in my book.
