He wants to spread the worms.
RFK is a mind flayer confirmed
If we ignore the brainworm parts, there are some good points here:
- More funding for rehab facilities (though I'd demand increased oversight and prosecution efforts as well, because the industry is rife with abuse and more subsidies would encourage more abuse if we don't increase oversight too)
- Offering nutritional assistance with rehab efforts
- Offering low-stakes work programs as part of rehab
- Encouraging community and social interaction outside of the inpatient setting
- Treating behavioral addictions like social media addiction as genuine addictions
- Providing options for people who have been over-prescribed or mis-prescribed to correct their regimen under close supervision
We could pick silver linings out of most things.
Genocide: reduces population and reduces our carbon footprint greatly.
It doesn't make it the right thing to do.
Which bullet point merits a comparison to genocide?
Comparing cherry picking silver linings to cherry picking linings. I'm sorry if genocide is to emotionally taxing for you to read the term.
Hey, here's a great idea. Let's spend decades normalizing conversations about mental health. I was literally saying to my therapist how I'm glad to be alive at a time when this isn't demonized last week. This will increase the portion of the population that can undergo treatment without being stereotyped as weak or deviant or whatever.
Now let's run for president and have a platform where we target that group in some way to "other" them. This is a great idea. This will get lots of votes. /s
What a dumbass.
That sounds like concentration camps with extra steps.
The brain worm is looking for a new host
He wants to "concentrate" them into camps where they can receive goverment treatments. How thoughtful.
You just know Trump begged him to be his running mate.
That's funny. I've been thinking, every home, or at least community, should have a wellness farm. Pharmacies are an untrustworthy source for connective wellness.
Is this his idea, or the worm’s idea? Genuinely curious.
And I am fully aware that the worm is dead and very likely necrotic.
Are we sure it's dead? This feels more like bad Sci-fi. Clearly the worm has taken control of the host.
Remember that first season episode of TNG where brain worms took over control of Starfleet?
It’s like that but stupid.
too much of the host has survived 😔
Maybe these “wellness centers“ infect depressed people with the same kind of worm that RFK has?
I claim dibs on the rights! Stargate could use a metal gear~ish goa'uld secret invasion video game.
I am a worm speaking through my host right now and I’ll tell ya buddy. This ain’t one of ours talking.
I’m a tapeworm though, maybe worms that don’t have to work so hard to get to the brain and control the host are trying to find reasons to get a bunch of humans in close proximity together under conditions that make it easy for them to spread.
Uhhhh, that just gives people more reason to be depressed. Just about every young person I know is on antidepressants because life is absolutely shitty in a capitalist dystopia.
why would anyone listen to this cunt? he's already been exposed to be a plant colluding with republicans to help with their election. thankfully he's so fucking awful at everything he does i don't think it's working at all.
I already have some garden tools that I could show him. I'm quite proficient with them. Especially if I'm off my meds.
Gardening for your mental health? Sure! Gets you some sunshine and exercise, and a healthy snack if you’re lucky.
Government farms run by the Brainworm administration? Pass.
Labor camps. What a novel fucking idea, RFK. It's almost like you've never moved out of your grandfather's fucked up view of the world, you sad piece of shit.
This will be an underground facility where the other hosts hold you down while a new brain worm is forced into your head through your ear.
I read Animorphs. I know how this thing goes.
Do we get to pick cotton on those “wellness farms”, master?
and i'm sure those farms will be loving, and full of support, and address peoples issues and help them over come them.
and totally not be full of brutalization and forced labor in a desperate attempt to make up for a lack of migrant labor, that will be in the news weekly for new, tragic, and horrific deaths.
Surprise! The farms are for profit institutions run by private contractors!
In just one easy step you too can have zero accountability and a sky high number of sexual assault and other abuse claims!
They’ll be learning valuable skills that they can then use to better themselves.
Like stamping license plates (even those are now printed.) or something .
Guy with actual brain worm, who ate a dog, won't 'pick a side' on the '9/11 issue', thinks vaccines are a giant conspiracy... thinks he is qualified to give mental health advice...
Though this apparently runs in the family, who decided to lobotomize his aunt and then pretend she did not exist.
lol what sides are there to the 9/11 “issue”?
I'm guessing rational people and then idiots who scream "jet fuel can't melt steel beams!". I get the skepticism and I wouldn't be surprised if United States politicians allowed 9/11 to happen for political purposes. After all, they have killed and will kill more people for less. Still, I doubt 9/11 was an inside job.
It’s funny. I got an ad for his campaign yesterday about how he won’t force us to wear masks.
Like, bro. It’s 2024. I see like 1 mask a month at this point.
I was curious about the dog story - apparently he insists it was a goat, and there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence that it wasn't.
I found this in an article where he would not, however, deny sexual assault.
Yikes.
Crazy people don’t know that they’re crazy
I don’t care how medicated I am, I’m not harvesting your wellness for you. Asshole.
I’m not his type though, I’m on a self prescribed dose of marijuana. I may be persuaded to help harvest that wellness.
Anyway what an idiot.
This guy’s brains must look just like his aunt’s.
Or maybe his uncle’s.
