gollark: Just force them to be written more along the lines of "please help these people afford food", instead of playing on human things with... what is it, sad music, pictures of specific people, sort of thing.
gollark: No, not exactly.
gollark: If you force people to STOP making emotional appeals, it may be somewhat better.
gollark: Of course, you might dispute that it'll actually save lives or something, but factual issues can be debated more sanely than the usual political thing where you just fight to connect your opponent with disliked things.
gollark: You can say "this policy will be good due to saving some amount of lives through X" instead of "this policy is amazing and wonderful because we will move toward good things and away from bad things and think of the children all who disagree support terrorism".
