Forced labor farms for those deemed mentally unfit for society. That’s his solution. Fuck that, fuck him, and fuck the fascist slavery fetish.
Wait? Did he really say that?
Yes.
“I’ve seen this beautiful model that they have in Italy called San Patrignano, where there are 2,000 kids who work on a large farm in a healing center … and that’s what we need to build here,” Kennedy said during a town hall-style appearance on the cable channel NewsNation last year.
According to Kennedy’s plan, outlined in interviews and social media posts, Americans experiencing addiction would go to San Patrignano-style camps voluntarily, or they could be pressured or coerced into accepting care, with a threat of incarceration for those who refuse care.
But the San Patrignano program has been controversial and was featured in a 2020 Netflix documentary that included images of people with addiction allegedly being held in shackles or confined in cages. The farm’s current leaders have described the documentary as biased and unfair
Jesus Fucking Christ
The farm’s current leaders are the fucking mafia.
Creating an environment of corruption, chaos, hate and suffering. Hurting the majority of people economically, and ripping away hope for the future. Cutting programs that safeguard people, and specifically targeting their access to healthcare. And taking away the medications that help people deal with mental illness.
Sounds like a recipe for causing people to become desperate and decide they have nothing to lose.
Ding ding ding! Make no mistake about it… the penultimate goal of the first six months of project 2025 is the suspension of habeus corpus and the deployment of US Military as civilian police. They need a riot to justify that last power grab. When you understand that fact, you can see the common thread in all of the random cruelty out of the gate. It’s not called project 2026.
RFK is one of those assholes who was depressed, changed his diet and worked out, and that was enough. And he thinks that solution works for everyone. And now he has power.
Fuck anyone that takes my SSRIs away from me. That would actually make me leave the country.
Being rich also doesn’t hurt
The only thing that worked out for him was being rich. Everything else is just an excuse/wishful thinking at best and a lie to be used to manipulate others at worst.
This is a very valid point.
Eating healthy, exercising regularly, time to relax and meditate etc. are luxuries not easily available to the poor. But a $1 pill is.
I hate to say it, but you probably can’t. People with diagnosed mental illnesses are often banned by other countries from immigrating.
I have EU citizenship.
Then good luck and I hope you make it out soon!
Still got meds. So fighting the good fight right now.

Can’t say about enough, but for me too antidepressants were not very effective (and also with some emotional downsides, I eagerly believe stats about ADs and suicide rates), and physical exercise plus simpler and healthier food (basically minimize sugar) did help me more. However, there might be a reversal here - maybe changes in weather and life events caused slight improvement in my mood first, and then came exercise and healthier food.
In any case this is considered very light depression.
The worms have won. Pretty soon we will all have worms injected into our head.
It’s the Illithid invasion.

Teal’c, I’ve got a question for you. What the hell does “kree” mean anyway.
Remember that show BrainDead? I still wonder how that was cancelled so quickly. I cannot help but wonder if it was a little too close to home, even if it seemed like it was going to bothsider politicians in Washington…
You know, people off their meds don’t make good choices…
I mean…the trump dictatorship are most likely all on drugs to begin with.
Or, alternatively, not on drugs when they should be.
So I’m hearing you say this could be a self-solving problem?

According to the article RFK wants to find the “root causes” of a broad range of conditions, including autism, ADHD, asthma, obesity, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis. Sure thing, while the his fellow fucking MAGAts shut down and destroy US medical research and increase deregulations pertaining to the food industry and pollution.
Don’t worry the root cause is going to be vaccines. No need for science when you already have the answer.
Republicans finding the major contributors to those conditions is going to be like that scroll of truth comic. They’ll only care if it turns out that the root cause is gay people existing or people being in unions or something (spoiler alert: it isn’t, but that won’t stop them).
There’s a lot of reports in this thread specifically around the “lazy doctors” and “it’s just stress” prescriptions.
This is where reddit would lock the thread and go “too much trouble to moderate.” That’s never been my personal policy.
But here’s the thing… “Lazy” may not be technically correct, but it’s been proven over and over again that if you are a woman or a minority or other marginalized group, medical professionals often are not listening to you.

And anti-psychotic medication too.
Does he want a bunch of undiagnosed schizophrenic people coming after him and his fellow maga stooges? Because this is how he gets a bunch of undiagnosed schizophrenic people coming after him.
Do that shit. Take em away.
It won’t take long before someone reminds you why they’re important. Postal style.
i love the tough talk from all the edgelords saying “yeah wait until you take mine away then i’ll be a real problem for you” – lol they’ll just lobotomize you. y’all have no idea what healthcare was like before anti-depressants, huh? you don’t get a choice what happens to you after you act out ONCE in public. sure, talk your smack, it feels good… but, personally? i’m scared. my grandma used to get shocks, and that’s when we actually had asylums… now we don’t. pretty scary stuff, ngl. not enough room in jails for all of us… they’ll find other solutions.
I grew up autistic and had adhd and an anxiety disorder when most people had no idea what those were. My autism wasn’t that bad… but the way how people treated it they acted like I was less than human.
Yeah my great grandpa was in and out of the institution for anxiety and it was a miracle he kept his brain in one piece.
Antidepressants have problems. They’re often treated as the first thing to throw at someone who has mental issues regardless of whether or not they’re warranted (back in the day it was a common story for trans people to get prescribed antidepressants instead of hormones and have to wade through the Dr’s crap), but the modern system in which people with mental illnesses are given medication that’s peer reviewed and have some degree of autonomy over treatment is worth all this.
This is of course not real. Acting out in public once may get you punched or a disorderly conduct charge but it is unlikely to enable anyone to lock you up let alone star in a remake of one flew over the cukoos nest because a lot of law and case law has happened since.
Do you think those laws matter? You aren’t living in the democratic republic you were living in six months ago.
Well dumb dumb this is still a state law issue it hasn’t changed
“When government researchers follow Kennedy’s orders to study SSRIs, they’ll find reams of research, including long-term studies, that have found that the drugs are safe and non-addictive.“
Then they will ignore science and do whatever the administration tells them to or they get fired and replaced with someone who will.
Then the goal posts will be moved. That’s how this denialist stuff works.
Reams of research didn’t stop him from continuing to push all his bullshit about autism.
More proof that the inmates have taken over the asylum.
How many people, taking antidepressants, are gun owners? Yep, shits gonna go down in bad way.
According to https://gunviolencearchive.org/ over 50% of every gun death in the USA each year is from suicide. More than half. Nobody gives a shit because while the numbers are staggering, they’re not kids in school or people in a theater, mall, or grocery store. They’re still dead though.
Gun ranges won’t let you rent a gun unless you: 1) Have someone with you 2) Have another gun with you (and clearly you just want to rent their gun to try out a different gun) because they’re afraid (almost certainly through experience) that you’ll kill yourself.
This nation not only doesn’t give a shit, it gives even less of a shit now as seen in this article.
Indeed, life is cheap in the USA.

Oh jeez, he’s talking camps…
Translation: Prison farms people are forced to go to because someone says they have a problem. This will also help with all the migrant crackdowns because who is going to grow and harvest our food.
Seriously though, after deinstitutionalization we were supposed to build a bunch of community health centers to help people. That never happened, but it should have. This is some perversion of that stolen idea designed to enrich the wealthy.
Yeah, because it’s soooo hard to get drugs in rural areas 🙄
Suicide rates are going to spike if this idiot gets his way. I may well be one of the statistics before it’s over, if he takes away my access to medicine that has enabled me to live a somewhat normal life, not that it’ll matter to him or his ilk. The cruelty, as the kids like to say, is the point, I guess.
