-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

When I was a lot worse than I am now I had to deal with how dehumanizing these places were. If your parents hadn't gotten you diagnosed with whatever is wrong with you and you can't afford to see a doctor because you have undiagnosed mental health issues that make it so you can't hardly hold a job no one cares. I have had intrusive thoughts about doing something similar, I have to wonder how many people killed themselves while holding the rejection letter or just waiting for a response from the disability agency. And having dealt with those people I got the impression that they'd rather you just did instead of wasting their time.
The cruelty is intentional, it costs more to administer the cruelty in this fashion than it would to just give the people the money they need.
DWP has a strong track record of basically killing its applicants and hires some of the most demonic people to exact their cruelty. I remember an article a long while back where the DWP listed someone in a coma as fit for work.
