  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Some of them are fascists who believe vulnerable people are weak and don't deserve to live. They'll believe this right up until they need help, then they'll make an exception for themselves and continue to believe it about other people.

this. Literally knew a guy who was against universal healthcare getting care from a charity. Its fine he get care from a charity and he deserves to get it but god forbid taxes are used to make sure everyone get care.
