Notes
gollark: I don't eat bees. That would be barbaric.
gollark: Well, it lacks content and it doesn't look great.
gollark: Also, political compasses are vaguely useful although to be truly good they need at least 6 dimensions. Also also, the politicalcompass.org one is libleft-skewed, there's a good one with an extra progressive/conservative axis.
gollark: I dislike your site, "G"nobody.
gollark: Dispose of Andrew. He is authishleft.
