Oops, this is some misinformation, friend. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rfk-wellness-farms/
Exaggerated claims designed to provoke a reaction, even in humorous contexts like this, make it harder for us to perceive and react to actual dangerous threats that might come our way. And we’re definitely going to need to have an accurate and truthful view of the world in the coming days.
It’s a good joke, it’s a great joke even, but even so, we shouldn’t spread misinformation.
Tfw you say something and everyone hates it and then someone else comes by and says the same thing in a slightly different way and everyone likes it 😑
Idk, I’m sure that many politicians aren’t advocating for LGBTQ youth to be “sent” to conversation camps.

Good luck managing us.
So far all of the orange appointments are looking like videogame minibosses
Sign me up to be player one then so I can go full Wolfenstein on these Nazi assholes
The same RFK Jr. who credits heroin for his academic success.
Bro taking out Cheryl Hines?
I used to think so highly of her before I found out
If trans people and Adderall people are outlawed then there will be no tech industry left.
You are forgetting about the furries.
Nah, I think we’re included by virtue of overlapping Venn diagrams.
Are there any cis furries in tech that aren’t on amphetamines?
The ones that are were probably all grabbed up by the US Navy to work on the Nuclear Submarines.
This is the navy we’re talking about…
I feel like you want the straightest ones on the submarine, if only for the smell.
I’m so confused by this comment, straight people smell better?! Gay people (or I"m assuming you’re referring to the sexual acts) smell worse than straight people?! So straight people can’t have anal sex and are known for how great they smell?!? If it’s an attempt at a joke, try punching up instead of down.
I was making a joke about the smell of sexual fluids, what with submarines being partially closed systems. Dont want too much seamen semen. Yeah I dont fully get it either, I am very tired.
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
This one in particular is chambered in 300mm, now get back in thine hole tech goblin.
Won’t somebody think of the yiff markets
Lol my company’s entire development department will be gone.
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
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.
With that many farms youre gonna need alot of showers. I know I can focus really good after a quick shower.
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.
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.
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
I dunno, the added phrase, “if they want to,” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
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.
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.
Then why haven’t they rescued the non-selfish people who were born here? Even the worst asylums review to see if people still need to be there.
If this was true it would at leave give me some semblance of peace while I await my merciful end.
and Trump.
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.
Trump has actually been pictured at his desk, forgetting to hide his stimulant medications
Of course not, only people on this side of the legal system
No no no he’s microdosing LSD it’s different and cool
Hopefully the concentration camp helps me with my ADHD if he kicks me off adderall /s
He tried so hard.
And got so far!
So in the end, it did mattered
Classic
I see what you did there
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.
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/
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.
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
Maybe they just need… motivation.
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.
One or two people would be doing all the work while the others would be complaining the whole time.
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 out 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.
“farms”, like the one they sent Rover to.
