      I mean he specifically said prison labor for the “wellness” farms - like prisons don’t have inmates do hard labor on farms (I’m looking at you Louisiana with your fucking slave plantation prisons).

      The idea of a place where you have to work the fields and aren’t allowed access to the outside world is a reeducation camp. He’s saying “you go there voluntarily”… Instead of a standard prison, which Republicans have done everything they can to make as harrowing a place as possible.

      Go to reeducation gulag or go rot in a hole isn’t much of a choice, even if we smear it with the fecal veneer of “wellness culture”

      also legal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities, to understand how to talk to people. There’ll be job training, particularly in the trades

      Seems more like slavery.

      And also no devices there, it will be amish paradise
