gollark: "I support an increase in good things and a reduction in bad things"
gollark: Or maybe they just check it for keywords automatically, who knows.
gollark: I assume most people would agree with (most of) those things, but just saying, effectively, "more good things, fewer bad things" isn't very meaningful. Maybe that's what you're going for, but I assume they might want you to say/make up more personal-scale things.
gollark: > a return to traditional moral valuesSounds vaguely worrying. But otherwise yes, I suppose. But that's not exactly... actionable?
gollark: Well, the societally accepted solution would be to make up some meaningless answer about it but then not actually do anything.
