    What have they said that otherizes people taking SSRIs? I genuinely haven’t seen it, other than taking actions to ban the meds, which is exactly what I’ve been saying should be the focus, as opposed to baseless speculation about forced labor.

    I understand that this is an important issue for you, but all I’m doing to correcting misinformation. The seriousness of the situation is all the more reason why accurate information is important. I have no idea why you think I’m “on the opposite side of the fence” just because I think we should focus on what’s actually happening and being said.

      They don’t need to say anything. People who take antidepressants already deal with the stigma of “being broken” (source: most women in my life, including my daughter). All that needs to happen is for RFK to continue doing exactly what he doing right fucking now.

      There are people out there who would go out of their way to ensure that any perceived-but-not-said-outright “obedience” is happening. These orders and press releases are empowering those people. This is incredibly and intentionally dangerous territory and it needs to be called out for what it is.

      Misinformation

      It’s good to call that out, but I also paid attention in history class. What is happening right now is the beginning stages of every genocidal movement in history.

        How do we know he’s secretly plotting for people with mental illness to be prison camps if nothing he’s said is particularly otherizing? Your whole argument was that we know because of how he’s otherizing such people, but now you’re saying he “doesn’t need to say anything,” so the whole line of reasoning is unsupported.
