Putting people with ADHD in a *concentration* camp is bitterly ironic

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

Ketamine is used as an antidepressant. Musk can go plant musk melons for a few years, then.

So trump will be going as well? Many people are saying he “takes” 👃Adderall, assuming for adhd, unless it’s not prescribed…

amy4opus.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, crap... how am I supposed to choose between the ADHD farm and the childless lady sweatshop?

Because it helped his grades!!!! And he’s worried about Vyvanse! Like, go tell on yourself buddy.

Organic eating will not make a neurodivergent brain neurotypical. That’s not how this works. And I’m a grown ass adult with bills, who can’t uproot her life for his dumb ass experiment. This muthafucker, I swear.

anubisthejackal.bsky.social•8 days ago

On a serious note, it's an interesting idea to try and take the stabilizing medication away from a bunch of people with mental health concerns. Probably not something that will lead to violence.

terisa1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Grow organic food for the elites to eat, while the rest of us can only afford the factory stuff.

smallflowers.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh my god, this is nuts. And the word “re-parent” has scary implications for how they’d judge parents of kids with ADHD…Oh, your kid got diagnosed with ADHD? Must be your ‘failure’ as a parent, so CPS is here to take them to the farm where they’ll have new government issued parents 😵‍💫

debforsure.bsky.social•8 days ago

This already happens to moms of kids with any learning difference, but yeah this would be that at scary levels

meannormajean.bsky.social•8 days ago

And the people whose parents caused and then denied their depression? What are they going to do, shame us into working? Been there, didn't work!

yolkydokey.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes, contact your doctor and IEP specialist to remove diagnostic codes/ references to their diagnosis NOW.

mbreen197.bsky.social•8 days ago

“Reparent” people. We are living in a dystopian society.

cbear42.bsky.social•8 days ago

The new parents will be Christian Nationalist overlords of massive reprogramming facilities. This would have been a bestselling novel about 15 years ago.

mbreen197.bsky.social•8 days ago

I have read multiple novels of the sort. The Handmaid’s Tale, Our Missing Hearts, When She Woke…just to name a few.

kianrazi.bsky.social•6 days ago

RFK wants to play savior by cutting off access to SSRIs, but he’s just signing off on a mental health disaster. Forcing millions to face withdrawal is a reckless, self-righteous move that’ll ruin lives. If he thinks that makes him a hero, he’s about to find out just how wrong he is.

grannyzee.bsky.social•5 days ago

Now we know who Republicans want to pick the crops.
Disgusting, because we know that it will only affect certain zipcodes.

"Work will make you free" is the motto of these cam-, sorry, farms, right?

indianajoanna.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trust and believe you wouldn't want to see me when I am unmedicated.

johnnyzcz.bsky.social•8 days ago

I wonder if that's how he came up with the idea. Like "Concentration camp? What, do they have ADHD—WAIT I've got it!"

cal2neb.bsky.social•6 days ago

What version of history is he reading where anything like that was ever the right thing to do?

stefene.bsky.social•8 days ago

is that how he got off junk? with organic carrots??

itsmarthintime.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m torn between being horrified and like lmao he has not seen me unmedicated and overwhelmed by the number of steps required to do dishes, good luck with that farm Bobby

diamondveto.bsky.social•8 days ago

I honestly don’t have words. I’ll starve on this farm. I can’t remember to eat, I can’t remember to do anything on time, and all the produce will die.

On top of that, I’m likely to be a horribly moody, emotional unstable, generally despondent person.

But sure an organic carrot will fix everything.

They'll make them pick strawberries and oranges and apples and lettuce. They'll be replacements for you know who.

As if they can make a depressed person do *anything.* I can't pick produce if you can't get me out of bed!

“Reparenting” sounds like a nicer way to say “re-education” camps….

newmexter.bsky.social•8 days ago

Don't worry about tariffs and immigrant expulsions and our food system. We'll have plenty of free and cheap labor for farms and packing plants from jailing many more in private prisons, lease labor from immigration detention, and concentration camps for adhd, depression, and addiction.

Can you imagine how loud the camps would be? None of us would ever shut up, or sleep!

I would force them to create a sound proof solitary box within the first hour of a guard being within earshot of me. WHO WANTS TO LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT THE OLD DISNEY AFTERNOON CARTOONS AND HOW THEY WERE REFERENCED IN THE DUCKTALES REBOOT? LETS START WITH A SINGALONG!

This year, I finally decided to get a therapist to see if I have ADHD. My brother was diagnosed when we were kids, but because I knew how to sit my ass in a chair they thought I was fine. So, I guess I’m putting that off.

Okay well I’ll see you there when they pry the Zoloft outta my hands.

catznjam.bsky.social•6 days ago

This isn't going to end well - that dude is nutz, IDK if it's the many years of shooting up heroin, the brain worm, or if it's just the money he brings in from hyping pseudoscience "cures" and attacking vaccines, but he's a danger to himself and others..

martiesimmons.bsky.social•7 days ago

lol. How am I “addicted” to anti-depressants?! I’m not taking too many. I’m not crushing them and snorting them. I’m not burning them to inject in to my body. I take them to just be a little less sad. Effin idiots.

"funny" story. I am 50, and doing a degree in Political Science and it was THIS semester that it finally occurred to me that concentration camps weren't meant for thinking hard about something. I was modified. My brain is so literal.

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•8 days ago

Side note: Enforcing this kind of punitive regime (call it "Cultural Revolution Reeducation Camps") requires an enormous Federal investment and workforce, bureaucracy, security apparatus, etc. But they're firing thousands of workers per day to shrink government to nothing. Does not compute.

the-greetest.bsky.social•8 days ago

The administration is lawless. They'll move whatever funds are needed and whoever is still a federal employee towards creating the camps, regardless. The efficiency and productivity of the act doesn't matter, only the cruelness towards the... "Unpure."

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•8 days ago

Children with untreated severe depression or ADHD are renowned for their diligent work, especially at tasks that are boring, repetitive, and difficult.
