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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation? (sh.itjust.works)

except if you overthrow bezos, other billionaires will just take his place, put the insurgeants (is this a word?) in prison and the system persists

You don't overthrow people, you overthrow systems

and as if like there will be one monarch to rule them all! all by himself, waiting by the dock, preparing for a duel.

just because we don't officially call it monarchy, people think that it's a whole new system. every critique you have against monarchy is valid for the billionaires and vice versa.

Oligarchy and monarchy are not the same, but have similarities
