Patriotism and nationalism are instruments of power
(lemmy.world)
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I believe both Patriotism and Nationalism are bad. They are Tribalistic. Group mentality. Social cohesion. Simple-minded ape shit.
However, I'm a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist and I desire for all humanity to go extinct. I would be full-on Traitor to the Human Species. If I could uplift some of the animal kingdom even they would howl for the blood of Humanity. Fucking nightmare creatures is what humans are. I would release the bioweapons to wipe every last pathetic human from this existence. Then the Earth would sigh in relief.
