Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It seems to me to be self-evident that it just isn't nazi to claim the holodomor was a genocide. You may think it's wrong, incorrect, perhaps suggestive of unjustified prejudice against communism - but it just isn't nazi. It's a nasty vile smear to throw at people. No context makes it so (not even remotely sure what you're referring to in this case). Rimu is not anti-semitic, Rimu is not a white supremacist, Rimu does not support a one-party authoritarian dictatorship.
And even if it was: If you’re going to accuse Piefed of being specifically far-right or nazi on this basis, then you have to also throw that at most other instances - which the other user didn’t do here.
It's incredibly obvious that they are talking about right-wing views in general, and you're laser-focusing on the German Nazi Party. That's why discussion with you never gets anywhere.
No, it's not. I see we've degraded from "nazi" to "far-right" to "right-wing" in a few posts too. And if Rimu is right wing, then almost everyone on the fediverse is right-wing according to you - not just piefed, or piefed.social. And sure, I understand that you can interpret nazism in a wider context - but even if you do, Rimu is nowhere near that.
Can you answer why you’re insistent on analyzing processes outside of the context they exist in? If you’re not going to respond to my criticisms of your metaphysical outlook from last time, then defend it, otherwise all I can do is continue to point out that you keep trying to slice away context and view processes in a vacuum that doesn’t exist and doesn’t represent reality accurately as a consequence.
I don't understand what context you're supposedly referring to here that somehow justfies hurling outright baseless lies against people.
They aren't baseless, Rimu and many PieFed users are deeply reactionary. Contextualization is important because it's necessary for correct analysis.
Rimu is no different to most people on the Threadiverse, or the culture or administration of most instances across the fediverse. If he is "deeply reactionary" then that would make most people and instances on the threadiverse "deeply reactionary" - by your terms of reference. In any case, he's nowhere near being far-right or a nazi. That's genuinely just a hateful lie. You won't convince me out of this. This is a truly nasty accusation and speaks to your incredibly low character.
Nah, the fact that you cape for racists and conspiracy theorists speaks to your character.
I reject your premise of racism. Conspiracy theorism isn't inherently nazi even if an accurate descriptor of someone in some context.
We've already been over this, I disagree with your rejection and stated why before. We don't need to go through this again.
