The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“who dies of hunger? eat something you idiot”
"Oryem also denied reports that he recently ate all of the nation's food, despite his body being visibly shaped like the outline of the nation's entire food supply."
I hope the "have-nots" eat that fat fuck.
Sounds like Uganda has their own version of Trump
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Ugandan government minister is facing criticism after calling those who have died of hunger in his country "idiots".
In 2022, more than 2,200 people died of starvation and related illnesses in north-east Uganda, a report by an official human rights body said.
But Mr Oryem argued that given the favourable climate and fertile land people should be able to grow food for themselves.
Moses Aleper, a legislator for Chekwii county, which is part of the affected Karamoja region, told the BBC that Mr Oryem's views are "not right" and "unfortunate coming from a minister who knows what goes on in this country".
Prominent Ugandan author and journalist Charles Onyango-Obbo also hit out at Mr Oryem, saying that the minister failed to grasp "that hunger in a country like Uganda is a distribution/market problem".
Official data on the current food situation in Karamoja is unavailable, but it often experiences hunger during dry seasons due to the region's semi-arid climatic conditions.

Fat man: "uh TRY EATING! SKILL ISSUE!"
