This is one of those things you see and instantly your mind jumps to an expose posted 5 years in about how it's actually cover for legal slavery, drug trafficking and human trafficking not to mention rampant SA and physical assault.

My mom is one of those woo-woo left leaning hippies that loves RFK and all his slop content. She also freaks out about one of her uncles being mistreated in a state run psyche institution. I'll have to get her opinion on this take later tonight.
I've been in psych wards numerous times for my drinking and ymmv on how good they are honestly. It's for sure something that needs to be changed but it sure as shit won't happen under Trump.
This would have been back in the 50-60's when these institutions were getting a pretty bad rap for mistreating their patients. I don't think my great uncle was lobotomized or anything, but definitely some poor care.
look, I've been valiantly wrestling against the impulse to just give up and start doing the work to relocate to China to contribute labor to an actual socialist project (since chinese comrades seem to much prefer that we foment socialism here, based on my XHS interactions), but if it's that or the ADHD prison slavery camp I'm going to start seriously learning Mandarin
unfortunately due to how I'm built I probably can continue to compartmentalize away gender stuff personally despite how awful it fucks my mental, but if I can't get Adderall I'm essentially on a one-way track to homelessness. like I'm functionally impotent. it's fucked that these things even have to be weighed, fucking hell
From my understanding they don't prescribe Adderall in China, I don't know if it is just illegal and never prescribed or just under very few controlled circumstances. I saw on adhd xhs that they prescribe concerta, vyvanse, and ritalin though
i feel for ya, I'm nearly 20 years physically and socially transitioned so I'm in the same boat from the other side as this gets worse. 
From what I've heard, China isn't the best with letting people get stimulant meds. As in you have to jump through even more hoops then you do here. And you might end up STILL not getting it at the end. I saw some news recently that its gotten better in the past decade, but (just like in the US) its a part of their "war on drugs". I understand where their anti-drug stance comes from, but I hope they reform that aspect soon for everyone there. I was barely dragging myself around before I got my meds. Still working on getting better, but its been 1000x more effective then anything else I've had.
But yeah, I'll either [Fed post] or hop over to China before I dig a single ounce of dirt for these freaks.
Me: I'm sick of my desk job and want to do something physically active
monkeys paw curls one finger
great creep forward.
not loving how many groups look to be slated for the camps
Me if they take my Vyvanse and my estrogen 
OTOH, the only way to make agriculture environmentally sustainable and not physically backbreaking for the people who are still needed for manual labor is to increase the agricultural labor pool and move to an organic-ish production system (organic ag has brainworms and synthetic fertilizers aren't inherently the devil).
OTOH, I do not trust RFK Jr. with the responsibility of implementing it.
Also "organic farming" was invented by a Nazi lol
Yeah, its predecessor was biodynamic ag, which had all this weird stuff incorporating the zodiac and belief in vitalism and burying whole ass animals in your fields. The only really useful bits are "don't saturate the environment with chemicals" and "support soil organic matter content"
The other innovation of biodynamic gardening was, "you can plant things closer together than we were taught", and like, yeah that's probably some ancient technique we just forgot and had to relearn.
Yeah, the European settlers in the Americas were pretty bad at doing agriculture. Reading accounts of the early colonists observing native agriculture is kinda entertaining; it's all stuff like "OMG guys they're producing so much food! How are they doing this while we're literally starving over here, their corn ears are enormous!"
tbf corn is a heavy feeder and hard to grow, but yeah, only because we foolishly gave up on any kind of traditional methods.
ancient civilizations arising every time they get good at growing corn 
my dumb ass trying to grow corn 
My condolences on your maize troubles. I don't have the space for it :(
Well it's also a tropical grass they were growing as far north as New York, so they were well outside the native bioregion.
To be fair, a lot of science goes back to Nazi discoveries too. Turns out zero ethics allows you to work in horribly efficient ways.
No it actually doesn't all their "science" was bullshit to justify horrific crimes against humanity. This take is literally Nazi apologia, in case you were unaware.
If I'm addicted to Adderall then how come I forget to take it so often?
okay so they're going really eco fascist
wasn't this the background plot conflict of A Scanner Darkly ?
like the addiction treatment centers were using the conscripted laborers with amnesia from carceral programs to grow the illegal drugs that were flooding the streets and creating addicts with amnesia.
its not a 1 to 1, but it's got that ouroborus vibe of the prisoners forced into reproducing the prison thing.
I dig 60s acid head sci-fi, but I am not interested in living it.
AFAIK that was based on the real story of a cult masquerading as a narcotics treatment program and rehab system abusing and enslaving the people it was given by the state. I think Trueanon did a series on the guy behind it, because it ultimately evolved into the "troubled teen" industry and those fucked up torture/labor camps? I may be conflating two separate things here though.
Concentration camps aside, wouldn't they have to nationally decriminalize/legalize weed first in order to use taxes to fund shit like this?
well no because then they would only get tax from it, this way they can just seize it all.
Seize all of what? Like money seized from dealers?
Sorry, just a little confused. I read the article but it didn't really address it.
I ask because I feel like dumbass stoners would support this if it meant legalization.
Seize all of what? Like money seized from dealers?
All of the money, the fed can at any time just come in to any legal state shop and seize everything.
Oh, I see. So just from those states that currently have it.
Yeah why tax when they can just take, I suspect the reason why they're leaving it in this grey area is so they can cash in on it at some point tbh, I tend to just assume the worst intentions with these ghouls and drugs.
Another day, another reminder I need to get off my lazy ass and make my escape plan.
The only people that should be sent to hard labour are people like RFK Jr
You will pry my methylphenidate from my cold, jittery hands
I've been rawdogging [except 7 cups of coffee/day] ADHD, so I guess I'll skate by?
I forgot to take vyvanse recently and that was probably one of the worst days in recent memory
I am definitely going to contribute more to society when I am drinking 20-30 beers every Saturday off of ADHD meds so I don't have to return to monke
Any cop that tries dissapearing me is getting buckshot to the head
