"Voluntary".... In the same way that gay conversion therapy is voluntary, or the same way those kid murdering behavioral farms are voluntary.

Time to add futurism.com to my block list. What a useless rag.

Voluntary, as in NYPD saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t voluntarily go into their overcrowded bedbug homeless shelter?

This is not as benign as you think. RFK already thinks vaccines annd prescribed meds are child abuse.

Although these wellness farms might seem like a worthwhile idea on paper, there are plenty of ways these kinds of systems could be rife with abuse. It's also unclear how different they would really be from the rehabilitation facilities that already exist across the country, and RFK's claims that most of the issues come down to not eating organic food also don't seem to be based on hard science.

Means well but it sounds here like they'll be volunteering at a farm for 3-4 uears, wasting their time

can we report this sort of thing here? downvoting has never worked.

Stop fucking sane washing him. "If they want to" is a dubious statement coming from anyone in this authoritarian administration.

The fact that he brings up "reparenting", it seems fairly obvious that this is going to be done by authority of the state. He's talking about taking people's kids away from them if they medicate their children as recommended by their doctors.

You clearly have not read the history of Nazi era labor camps. They had very nice sounding propaganda for Germans to believe too.

Don't kid yourself. They mean forced labor camps.

Sure, totally voluntary. With barbed wire, guards, prison gangs, and court orders. Just like the reform schools for teenagers.

Who decides if they need it ?

Assuming this is government funded, I'd be more than happy to spend a couple of years at such a place. I need to take a break from reality and not worry about bills for a bit.

Reading the actual quote makes it sound a lot WORSE.

Less like "farm therapy" and more like:

I got into great shape mentally and physically with a limited diet and constant farm chores. Of course, I was alone and not surrounded by brain worms piloting human hosts so maybe that was what worked.

People want excitement more than they want truth.

This is why Trump was elected again.

MAGAs are not some strange species of subhuman. They're humans like us, genetically identical almost, same with nazis and Jim Jones cultists and everyone else who has ever done anything inexplicable. They have the same vulnerabilities and the same biases and the same reactions. If they're dumber, then the stories their brains will tell them to explain their feelings will also be dumber, but your brain does the same thing every time you feel a thing.

We're all going to have to confront this unpleasant fact about just how much free-will we actually have in the coming decade as more and more of reality becomes compromised in our daily scrolling rituals, as more bots and scammers and influencers become far more sophisticated and intelligent in their schemes.

I hope that after some period of hardship and confusion we all look at information in a different way, as the internet becomes consumed by the AI slop engine and nobody can prove what's real anymore and anyone can manipulate anyone else's image and voice perfectly and we all have to embrace new attitudes towards ourselves and our ego.

I actually like the idea, if they fund it.
I could go away for a year no questions asked.
