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.

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

And suggested another phrase that might express what you really mean better if you want to avoid having that reaction/assumption

No, you recognized there could be nuance in words and chose to nitpick anyway.

I never attacked you

Maybe you just don't realize how condescending you came off as.

It was conversation until you condescended to me.

No, I really thought you were having trouble understanding what I was saying. Trying repeatedly to explain it in different ways is not being condescending when I really believe you didn't get it and needed more clarification.

Whatever you wanna believe though at this point I guess. I'm done. I don't like you and I think it's safe to say you don't like me.

Nah. You mentioned specifically what the different nuances for "I don't care about politics" but you chose to take me literally anyway.
