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

Totalitarians, fascists and other scary governments prosecute you without telling you what you did, and everybody agrees that this is an evil practice. But now it's normal and accepted on social media (leminal.space)

No, that isn't what I said at all.

You drew a direct comparison between fascist states and social media, on the basis of their evil deeds.

stop being so butthurt in your comments. You're getting absolutely roasted. Just take the L

And the herd supports you in your muddled conclusions. Yay

That's some prescription strength copium you're taking.

Some real "everyone disagreeing with me means I'm right" type delusion

And yet you offer nothing to rebut the point. How is that not what you said? It seems spot on to me.

Persecution without explanation. Evil in one context (doubley evil, by association, even), accepted in another. I point out that incongruity.

How can I make it plainer?
