The world, as of right now, is doing a lot. It is doing considerably more than was agreed upon, and nobody has been adequately compensated for the inconvenience. The news is relentless, the group chat is overwhelming, and "per my last email" messages are still being sent. It is a lot to process before lunch. Too much almost.
Which is why we have memes. Not as a solution and definitely not as a substitute for actually dealing with any of it. Just as a five-minute window where the only thing being asked of you is to scroll, recognise something true about your own existence, and feel marginally less alone in it. No news, no context, no follow-up action required. Just the good stuff, in bulk, delivered without apology.
The Political Compass sets out to collect memes that make us chuckle about politics, humble us about idiotic human behaviour, and bring us together in the face of adversity. For their relentless image curation, we want to thank them.
