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.

I disagree, voting is always right, but there's only an ideal outcome if the population is educated about the topic.

If people would have realised, that the true worst power source is fosile fules, we'd have cheaper electricity and better co2 rates now.

Same problem with power in austria btw, if some missinformed teens wouldn't have tried to be important back then we'd be maybe fully selfsufficient regaeding power now.

The issue is that educating people is not easy as it sounds. Also, if you’re rich, you can influence the people who vote.

Take Alex Jones as an example, he managed to convince someone to commit a crime. Look up Sandy Hook incident.

Also, Trump and Jan 6th.

You can see a pattern here. More resources means more influence thus manipulating people easily.
