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

Uh yeah, people around here don't tend to accept bigotry. Anybody who espouses racism/homophobia can get out. Which happens to be most conservatives. It's not about being a conservative. It's about being a piece of human shit.
Even as I'm on the more left end, I'd say not all conservatives or right-leaning people are racist homophobic bigots, though. If anything, I'd say a sizable portion have a right-leaning non-discriminatory worldview, mainly economic.
Admittedly, as much as I'm preferring the fediverse, it is definitely an echo chamber, Lemmy included.
Lowering taxes for the rich and cutting social services does not tend to have good results.
Right-leaning economics does not make sense to me at all, beyond the emotional hook of "government stealing your hard earned money to give to lazy poor people on welfare".
But they still vote for homophobic bigots. If you sit at a dinner table with Nazis, what does that make you?
Nice bigoted comment proving his point!
shut up loser
Another one!
Nah, she’s right. Shut up with the bullshit
No harm in calling out bigotry!
You are the fucking asshole being a bigot. Go back to your Fox News and fuck off
No I'm not. Why are you being so hateful and mean? That's such a typical bigot thing to do
You clearly are a fucking far-right bigot asshole. I know you are a trolling far-right ass but it’s still ridiculous. “Hateful and mean” hahahaha, you are the one being a dumbass
I'm not the bigot, you are
Sure asshole
Lol
Go fuck yourself
Lol
I'm not going to pretend that your anti-social values have merit just because you think they do. Even putting on the veil of politeness is too much validation for your childish ideas.
