    Is this a reference to making drug addicts work the farms after deporting all of the immigrant farm workers?

        I’d just like to note here that RFK’s definition of addicts includes people on antidepressants and ADHD medication.

          I’m pretty sure him wanting to send ADHD people there are why he’s not calling them concentration camps.

            I take all three. It wouldn’t be funny to see people try to haul me off to a slave camp, that’s what I originally typed. Let’s just say they’d get new piercings for free.

            Phillip Kindred Dick(aka PKD), an influential american scifi Novelist and avid user of psychadelics among other things. His novels are used as the basis of such movies as Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers, The Adjustment Bureau, Minority Report, The Mini-series The Man in The High Castle, and most relevant to this conversation -A Scanner Darkly.

            The film A Scanner Darkly centers around a Parole Officer who actively becomes addicted to a new drug while living in a surveillance society. The addiction ultimately results in his permanent impairment and incarceration in a work camp where he is made to farm the same drug he was previously addicted to.

            I have not read the book. Unfortunately I’ve found PKD writing style to be challenging to get through, but i’ve always loved his sense of imagination. A Scanner Darkly is a good animated film starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Junior, Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder and I strongly recommend it.
