Hol up. They've gotten rid of all the people who used to pick fruit in rural areas, and now they want to send arbitrarily diagnosed "addicts" to these rural areas to live for "free".
Not only will they live for free, but their work will truly set them free.
Arbeit macht frei.
We could even put that over the entrance to their camp to encourage them.
Well sad slaves... seems odd to get rid of antidepressants during such times.
Move over re-education camps, it's time for "re-parenting farms".
Yeah what the fuck is that about.
The idea that you can't just step down off an SSRI as if it's a heroin addiction is fucking ludicrous.
The thing is it's so easy to verify that they're not addictive.
Virtually every bullshit medical claim RFK Jr. makes can easily be verified to be bullshit.
And he just outright lies all the time too. I heard a radio interview with him where he claimed he had hundreds of clients with golf ball-sized tumors behind their ears from using cell phones. You know how you see all those people walking around with golf ball-sized tumors behind their ears?
Thats not even how tumors work!
I think any definition of "addiction" that includes SSRIs is so vague and general that it's unhelpful.
There aren't many things that people do that wouldn't cause a measurable withdrawal if discontinued.
I didn't see "free" mentioned anywhere.
My guess is that these "wellness farms" will be just as costly to patients as traditional rehab programs, but at the same time the patients will be expected to do physical labor on the farms.
They'll literally be paying to work there. Isn't that the ultimate end-stage capitalist dream?
After six months of drinking raw milk they'se gonna be about 50% fewer ~~patients~~ slaves for them to "rehabilitate."
It's not a forced labour prison, it's a camp, where addicts are concentrated together to work. What's the problem? /s
They will even provide a free education in agricultural harvest. What lucky souls!
Good?
At least he said “if they want to” for psychiatric drugs
Oh well in that case I'm sure it will be fine /s
