If trans people and Adderall people are outlawed then there will be no tech industry left.

You are forgetting about the furries.

Are there any cis furries in tech that aren’t on amphetamines?

Nah, I think we're included by virtue of overlapping Venn diagrams.

Hopefully the concentration camp helps me with my ADHD if he kicks me off adderall /s

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.

Tfw you say something and everyone hates it and then someone else comes by and says the same thing in a slightly different way and everyone likes it 😑

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.

On the farms, he said, residents would grow their own organic food—which would help them recover from addiction,

These people are going to starve to death. It's difficult enough to farm when you want to farm.

As a person with ADHD, let me just volunteer the following information; the absolute last thing you want... the last thing you want is for a bunch of people with ADHD to be held on a boring farm. Without medication!

The phrase "herding cats" doesn't even come close. And ADHD is often comorbid with sleep phase disorder, which means I'm 100% alert all night without the medication that helps me sleep! That gives me lots and lots of time to be a problem!

Idk... I feel like we'd really want to revolt, but would keep procrastinating.

there's nothing more productive than a group of ADHD people working together for something they want lol

They missed it because they were already taking liberties on what was actually said.

To be clear, I wouldn't put it past him to do that, but that isn't actually what he said.

TL;DR: voluntary "rehabilitation wellness farms"

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 20 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah sorry should have been more clear I suppose. The narrative they're trying to perpetuate is that nobody is ill and all of the prescription drugs are unnecessary, and that all the people taking medication for their illnesses really just want to be off of it but have no ability.

Realistically, yeah he's going to build the camps, and then it's a very short hop skip and a jump to court orders putting people there.

To be honest they should just do an opinion piece saying exactly what we know he's going to do. We don't need him to pretend that's exactly what he said.

Once the farms are built I wonder how long they'll stay voluntary. He's taking baby steps to a massive slave labor industry

Man who frequently lies is misquoted in a way that is more in line with what he probably meant based on previous statements and actions.

I'm not surprised.

He’s in the closet about his own mental health issues, one of which is likely him being ADHD AF.

So like the closeted gay politicians being the harshest proponents of things like conversion therapies, anti-lgbtq views and legislation, the closeted mental-health-problem asshole is anti-actual-medical-treatment of everything, like anti-vax, anti-adderall, etc.
