Do not go. Do not let loved ones go.

Look to history my friends, and stay safe.

And if history serves, as sadly it often does, there will be propaganda. There will be sunny pictures. And there will be testimonials, some even truthful, about how wonderful it is.

Look to history, at how this always ends.

Always.

Do. Not. Go.

And when I say 'look to history' I do not only mean the Holocaust.

I mean, look at the history of the United States, the history you weren't taught in schools.

Our country has a nasty fucking history involving eugenics, and they want to bring it back.

I am sure we will also see 'detransitioning centers' and after, the return of 'conversion therapy' for the 'sick Queers'

And a big pickup in stealing children to be adopted by Christian fundies (which hasn't ended)

There's a Behind the Bastards on the extremely fucked up history of "troubled teen" camps that seems pretty directly relevant too.

I really need to check out that pod, it always sounds like my jam

Can confirm, the only thing better than the episodes (the ones on T.E. Lawrence are great if you want to see Robert discuss someone less evil) are the ad transitions.

RFK Jr has already made it clear he wants to do this. His personal Somoa on a national scale, simply so a man who claims to have brain worms can see the results for himself.

Do. Not Go.

His goal of putting people with ADHD, depression, etc in "wellness camps" with no access to screens while working outside at farms is backdoor slavery. Saying they'll "reparent" kids will be legalized child trafficking, where abuses won't be investigated.

Do. Not. Go.

Between old asylums, workhouses, famine road projects, and residential schools I can see exactly where this is going without even having to mention the holocaust death camps.

America did it first.

Masking has become even more of a survival skill now.

I was horrified reading the link and about to say, "That would be illegal", but if the last few weeks have taught us anything, this administration doesn't care about law or morality....

Eugenics. I wonder if they all buy into the cult of longtermism. ie cleanse the human gene pool ready for our next evolution. Very scary nonsense.

Fucking horrifying

... I came OFF of a fucking rural american farm to *get* treatment for my raging mental health issues. The fuck?

xeropeace.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'll shoot every motherfucker that comes to my door with that silliness.

jaymarose.bsky.social•12 days ago

Mental health facilities that don’t treat mental health? So they did away with hospitals to recreate Bedlam.

Every life is precious*

*your mileage may vary

Plus, it’s America, so someone has to make a buck off it, which means this admin would partner with the absolute worst companies and churches to “fix” people. (There is a 100% chance of Jesus in this.)

trance.bsky.social•12 days ago

They'll be privately funded camps with all the oversight of a brutal 'we'll fix your teen' with starvation, forced exercise, beatings and rape.

eyegah.bsky.social•12 days ago

Exactly, we have a model for this already.

smilingrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

Private prison industry is extremely excited
