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 wish we as a society would stop pretending that justice is blind, when it very clearly is not. (lemmy.world)

It’s an ideal in that people should be working towards taking control of the state apparatus

People are ALREADY in control of the state apparatus. What we have is, by now, the very predictable result.

Well, beyond that the alternative is to abolish the state, which I'm not against, but the ideal would remain.

There is no such thing as "blind" justice. What they mean with "blind justice" isn't justice at all, but rather a blind application of and obedience to law - which liberalism have always (and utterly falsely) conflated with "justice."
