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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Oh look a tankie trying to push bullshit tankie rhetoric.
Last time I checked I didn't get thrown into prison for life, shot or run over by tanks because I disagreed with my boss.
I swear that tankie logic is that of a person who gets busted doing meth in the bathroom at work and then complains when they get fired, claiming their boss is an "oppressive fascist".
Workplace democracy is tankie bullshit now? Ok then.
Right? I'm trying to figure out how I could be a tankie but also in the US...
Your geographic location doesn't dictate your beliefs, opinions, etc. At all. I have a friend that grew up in America, he's Muslim, he's got family in Jordan IIRC. But I was like, you're pro-America. Right? No, turns out he much prefers Jordan & wants to move someday.
Maybe you espouse tankie beliefs. Or maybe not, idk your life.
So, not me. but still random lemmy users will screech tankie at me.
Oh please, the intention of this post is so fucking transparent in its tankie rhetoric of trying to paint the west as an evil blight.
