Missing a slam-dunk headline
(FYI - the article that the guy is replying to is misinformation. Two commenters have provided snopes links for anyone curious.)
If trans people and Adderall people are outlawed then there will be no tech industry left.
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 😑
I was posting more for the funny reply, rather than to share the original article, but I can put a note in the post body that the pictured quoted article is misinformation.
Thanks for adding the note! :)
What an absolute asshole of a journalist you have to be to twist someone's words like that.
Idk, I'm sure that many politicians aren't advocating for LGBTQ youth to be "sent" to conversation camps.
Hopefully the concentration camp helps me with my ADHD if he kicks me off adderall /s
I see what you did there
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.
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.
"farms", like the one they sent Rover to.
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!
"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
Nah, ADHD+spite=hyperfocus and productivity.
it's a surefire way to either spark a revolution or end all life on the fuckin planet
I dunno, the added phrase, "if they want to," is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
I imagined they were inferring like "if you're taking Adderall we need your hyper efficient ass to come work on building a pyramid or something". Which i have to say, a team of properly medicated ADHDers would be the most streamlined project ever.
Wouldn't this include Musk ?
Of course not, only people on this side of the legal system
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.
No no no he’s microdosing LSD it’s different and cool
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.
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.
With that many farms youre gonna need alot of showers. I know I can focus really good after a quick shower.
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.
Lol my company's entire development department will be gone.
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
I get the anger, but this idea wouldn't be out of place in European countries like Netherlands and Portugal. Drug rehabilitation is a positive, left wing policy.
The same RFK Jr. who credits heroin for his academic success.
Some people do actually initially start using opiates as a performance enhancer. Thats not really a crazy take. I know people with similar stories in the first months of their use, before the negatives started outweighing the positives.
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.
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.
Good luck managing us.
Like herding catgirls.
Bro taking out Cheryl Hines?
I used to think so highly of her before I found out
I thought this was a post about The Mask
Sssssssssmokin'!
Meth, because Adderall is illegal and incredibly hard to get.
I bet they would get so much done.
I've actually read about this. Maybe we shouldn't be sending neurodivergent people into camps?
“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.
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.
This is to replace Migrant workers when they kick the Mexicans out.
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.
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.
most 👏 addicts 👏 have 👏 adhd
addicts 👏 should 👏 stick 👏 to 👏 speed
Or get diagnosed (did you know addicts can too) like the rest of us. Or stick with something that doesnt hurt supply like ketamine ™️ . Ever heard of shortage of ketamine for horses? I havent
My body my choice to put what drugs i want in me right?
Oh wait, democrats don't believe in bodily autonomy.
