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.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Can you define a liberal for me? I usually call myself a progressive, but from my limited understanding I know liberals are generally pro-capitalists that usually posture morality to uphold capitalism.
And then does 'neo-' in front of lib or con just mean they colonize developing countries with banks instead of armies?
That's just exporting the sharecropping/company town era economics beyond the media horizon.
The IMF/World Bank vs Private Capital (vs China ) to fund infrastructure is the other angle.
