Bro taking out Cheryl Hines?
The same RFK Jr. who credits heroin for his academic success.
So far all of the orange appointments are looking like videogame minibosses
The term “concentration camps” usually doesn’t refer to places people volunteer to go to. The headline’s clickbait enough as it is.
Love how people actually believe that RFK’s labor camp plan is voluntary, just because he said “where you can choose to go”.
4 years of hearing Trump and his cohorts lie about literally everything, and you’re ready for another 4 of giving them the benefit of a doubt. Truly breathtaking naïveté.
Yeah “choose to go” is a euphemism for “parents can decide to send their children against their will”
Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit Ritalin! Not that it matters, 99% of us are getting fucked to some depth. Disadvantaged people first, then minorities and women, as is custom.
Lol my company’s entire development department will be gone.
If trans people and Adderall people are outlawed then there will be no tech industry left.
You are forgetting about the furries.
Are there any cis furries in tech that aren’t on amphetamines?
Won’t somebody think of the yiff markets
there’s a lot of overlap in that venn diagram
some might event say it’s a circle
A hole is kind of a circle.
:3
They missed it because they were already taking liberties on what was actually said.
To be clear, I wouldn’t put it past him to do that, but that isn’t actually what he said.
Once the farms are built I wonder how long they’ll stay voluntary. He’s taking baby steps to a massive slave labor industry
Man who frequently lies is misquoted in a way that is more in line with what he probably meant based on previous statements and actions.
I’m not surprised.
TL;DR: voluntary “rehabilitation wellness farms”
Yeah sorry should have been more clear I suppose. The narrative they’re trying to perpetuate is that nobody is ill and all of the prescription drugs are unnecessary, and that all the people taking medication for their illnesses really just want to be off of it but have no ability.
Realistically, yeah he’s going to build the camps, and then it’s a very short hop skip and a jump to court orders putting people there.
To be honest they should just do an opinion piece saying exactly what we know he’s going to do. We don’t need him to pretend that’s exactly what he said.
This is a pretty cool example of media bias distorting facts in order to cause kind of a Shiri’s Scissor scenario in the reader based on where they get their news. Liberal source gives an inaccurate, more interpretive story based on what is already known about the parties involved. I’d wager a more conservative source would just give a direct statement of what RFK said here, which sounds fairly reasonable if you have no bias against the man and his team. Discussing this point becomes incredibly controversial between the groups because we have opposing interpretations of the same event, and it’s difficult to come to any understanding without breaking many things down into smaller parts.
All this is to say I agree, it should have been an opinion piece. It’s dishonest as it is now and would only cause friction, confusion, and raised hackles. We know how troubled teen camps fail kids, and what happens when bad people have power over vulnerable people. The writing is on the wall, but it’s not clear for all of us. Be less inflammatory and more informative, is what I think news should be.
As a person with ADHD, let me just volunteer the following information; the absolute last thing you want… the last thing you want is for a bunch of people with ADHD to be held on a boring farm. Without medication!
The phrase “herding cats” doesn’t even come close. And ADHD is often comorbid with sleep phase disorder, which means I’m 100% alert all night without the medication that helps me sleep! That gives me lots and lots of time to be a problem!
it’s a surefire way to either spark a revolution or end all life on the fuckin planet
"Have you tried touching grass and just like, focusing really hard?" - RFK Jr
Grass sucks, I’d rather touch moss.
I dunno, the added phrase, “if they want to,” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Idk… I feel like we’d really want to revolt, but would keep procrastinating.
there’s nothing more productive than a group of ADHD people working together for something they want lol
He’s in the closet about his own mental health issues, one of which is likely him being ADHD AF.
So like the closeted gay politicians being the harshest proponents of things like conversion therapies, anti-lgbtq views and legislation, the closeted mental-health-problem asshole is anti-actual-medical-treatment of everything, like anti-vax, anti-adderall, etc.
I thought this was a post about The Mask
Yeah you can thank all the non diagnosed & non needing taking medication for diagnosed & needing, for that.
Fuck you, I actually need it and y’all cause shortages globally. Fuck You. “I perform so much better” No actualmy I barely compete WITH and its a fucking battle all day long. From putting my socks on to actually make a wage. Fuck You.
No fuck YOU for throwing addicts under the bus as if that’s not a legit medical problem. Show me one source that says the cause of the shortage is people “not needing taking”.
If you’re wondering, 5 percent of white college students adds up to about 3.75 million people who aren’t necessarily addicts and are effectively wasting supply of the drug.
Wasting? Sure. Causing a supply shortage? No.
You don’t think nearly 4 million extra users are going to hurt supply?
It’s mainly because of a manufacturing issue. Increased demand is certainly a factor but there is undeniably much less stimulant medication available than normal from manufacturers.
So there’s multiple factors. Including people wasting the supply.
The government actually limits how much each manufacturer is allowed to produce, that’s the actual cause of the shortage.
Wouldn’t this include Musk ?
We are already in the concentration camp for irrepressible oligarchs, its called Earth. We are the grease trap for souls in the Universe and all the shitheads congealing on this planet enables the alien races to remain pure from the constant drag and grind of fostering chuds among them.
Of course not, only people on this side of the legal system
No no no he’s microdosing LSD it’s different and cool
and Trump.
Trump has actually been pictured at his desk, forgetting to hide his stimulant medications
No exceptions.
Just imagine some insane takeover by RFK hahahhaha
He’s on a crusade to get rid of anything with more than one ingredient, including people.
he should start with himself.
he’s at least .01% worm and 99.99% shit.
“I’m going to make it so people can go, if you’re convicted of a drug offense, or if you have a drug problem, you can go to one of these places for free.”
Honestly if people can find happiness by getting away from modern society and living a bucolic lifestyle, I’m all for it.
Relying on a prescription medication is not a drug problem
Fascists don’t use language to convey meaning or truth, they use it as a weapon to manipulate. It’s on purpose that they muddy the meaning of words and won’t define terms even in legal bills so their judges can use the worst interpretation of the broad, vague law like the anti lgbtq law in Russia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_anti-LGBT_law
It’s the same way they try to count legal immigrants in the US under asylum as illegal criminals and won’t define words like woke unless required by a court.
That has to be the most charitable interpretation possible of the incoming fascist government’s intent. It’s literally just slave labour with extra steps.
The implication is they’re farm labor camps, so less living with nature and more picking cotton in the sun all day.
Less picking cotton all day and more fruits and grapes. Or other crops that are still tended by hand, generally by undocumented immigrants.
Yes but slaves who pick cotton learn valuable, marketable skills!
(big fuckin /s just in case)
That article is kinda garbage. Here’s its source material: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/rfk-jr-wants-to-send-people-on-antidepressants-to-government-wellness-farms/
“farms”, like the one they sent Rover to.
On the farms, he said, residents would grow their own organic food—which would help them recover from addiction,
These people are going to starve to death. It’s difficult enough to farm when you want to farm.
Not exactly. My ADHD has only one good use… I am amazing at dealing with worst case scenarios and in fact thrive in them. I will always find a way to do something, survive and enjoy it. I had more fun in Japan when I was broke after I lost my scholarship than I was before I did. I rode a busted old bike with flat tires everywhere, I found ways to scrounge for food, I survived odd of a bag of flour and snuck my mom into my dorm. I have no interest in normal day to day easy life. Put me in the wilderness and make me kill my food.
Don’t worry, they’ll have all the most advanced GMO crops, pesticides, and fertilizer. The plants will grow no matter what you do. Whether you want to eat them or not is an open question.
I highly doubt RFK Jr. is in favor of GMOs.
I’m pretty sure this is just a farm labor program to replace the migrants they’re deporting. So he isn’t really going to have a say.
I mean, it’s RFK Jr. I doubt he would even be able to identify real organic fertilizers anyway. If he were to inspect a site and see fertilizers, even organic fertilizer in bags, he’s probably tell them to throw it and just just rely on the unamended soil. He would then go home and eat over priced Whole Foods produce that may or may not be honest about the organic label.
Yeah, this is literally a page out of Mao’s Great Leap Forward.
cambodian year zero, more like. depending on how dedicated they’ll be
