For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

I think we have differing definitions of the word “championing”.

No, we don't. You're trying to pretend we do, to get out of having said something utterly silly.

It's far sillier to try those sort of semantical shenanigans than just admitting to having said something silly in the first place.

And America has been pushing for these ideals

You had segregation just 60 years ago, you still don't have limitless sickleave or even mandatory maternity leave. You have homeless people — who actually have jobs — shitting on the streets and dying from completely treatable things like infections, because they can't afford the insane prices of healthcare. Education is more or less a joke, you're literally burning books.

America has been actively suppressing socialist policies (and complete governments). That's a fact. Not an argument. Not an opinion. And definitely not up to semantics.
