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.

As someone who skews quite far left ideologically but believes that people on both sides have been painted into polarised caricatures in each others' minds by social media, I wholeheartedly agree.

Fuck your enlightened centrism

The concept of enlightened centrism is nothing but a tool to drive people into extremism. How can you not see that?

Are you sure you replied to the right person? I was condemning the "enlightened" centrism and the idiot I responded to. I think anyone who goes "but both sides" is almost always a blithering idiot.
