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
- 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
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

See, I know what you are trying to say, and I would agree with the basis of it, but I’m not for using manipulation techniques (fake empathy, implied moral superiority, ad hominem attack) to “win” the argument.
What is he trying to say? Because what I hear is "Anyone who's opinion is not 100% in lockstep with mine is an evil fascist racist nazi transphobe".
Taking the comment in the best possible way, the person was pointing out that even if we’re nice and positive so far here on Lemmy, you will still be called out for blatantly racist comments.
That's quite a generous reading.
I still see "if you don't agree with me 100% you're a racist".
