Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

It's hard not to find this kind of logic and desire to be naive and somewhat childish. I really do think it comes from a desire to go back to a time when you're a child and you don't have to worry about things.

It’s privilege.

When people don’t want to talk politics it’s because they have the luxury of not being affected every moment of their lives about said politics.

I.e. easy to switch off the ‘trans people should die’ rhetoric when you’re a cis gendered middle aged white man in a western country.

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.
