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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

I don't think conservatism is about being rational it's about maintaining tradition or maybe morality, however it was defined by the previous generation.
Conservatism is about absolute control by any means necessary
Conservatism is about making it illegal for the rest of the world to exist in a manner other than the one that you personally want it to.
I feel like you don't actually know that and it's just your opinion.
