gollark: <@!180342869616230400> There you go. Here are some memes which are probably not very fresh since I just pulled reasonably recent stuff from my memeserver.
gollark: I vote four dimensional because then we get to say "political octachoron".
gollark: There are political axes and compasses and hypercubes and such, and while none (well, except ridiculous ones) can actually capture your political views entirely accurately, some are *useful*.
gollark: China didn't exactly *help* things by covering it up initially, but America was/is definitely not doing great either.
