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.
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! :)
Idk, I'm sure that many politicians aren't advocating for LGBTQ youth to be "sent" to conversation camps.
What an absolute asshole of a journalist you have to be to twist someone's words like that.
This comment won't age well.
"No no bro, it's going to be totally voluntary, trust me, just watch as we offer it as an alternative to prison, and then criminalize things like 'taking adderall'."
So your prediction is that the Trump administration is going to be rounding up people on adderall and sending them to camps.
Yes or no — is this what you believe?
The Trump administration's intention is to criminalize certain behavior with plausible deniability that amounts to nothing more than an excuse to put specific people on psychiatric meds whom they want to put in these proposed work camps, in work camps. While 'labor' or 'profit' might be involved, the essential function will be, if seen through successfully, simply to hurt those who they think they can, like all fascists.
Okay so I’ll rephrase my question. I would appreciate a YES or a NO response here.
Do you think the Trump administration is going to create work camps and pick people to send there against their will?
Yes, I certainly think they're going to try, considering they've literally and explicitly stated they're going to create work camps, the flurry of promises of revenge, of unlawful deportation, and their history with shipping US citizens off without regard for silly things like 'law', 'precedent', or 'rights'.
Do you think they're not going to try literally exactly what they've said they're going to do?
As well as the average American.
