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-----

Why do you believe other political ideologies are not also "buying a narrative" (regardless of which one, make your pick!) meaning they too "[have] a certain level of ignorance that approaches being an average human being with minimal critical thinking"? Any ideology can make a narrative and sell it to people.
Powerful corporations advocate for leftism? Do you know what the word "leftism" means?
You mentioning corporations and Hunter Biden really makes me think you're talking about Democrats and not Leftists.
You need to go look up the difference between Leftists and Neoliberals.
The problem is actually that conservatives can't think a moment outside their own experience. Everyone less powerful than you? Oh they deserve their place. After all, they're probably cOmMuNiSt anyway
The only reason I am fully confident in hating the right wing with a passion is that I spent more than half my life enveloped in those garbage attitudes.
I probably have more experience with the common right winger than a troll like you. Thanks though
