People are still killed for being different, they just aren’t called witches.

>But I'll never insult someone for trying, no matter the method.

No matter the method is a bad take, that’s how we got gruesome people doing gruesome experiments on people who need treatment.

And the camp thing is pretty old and they always end the same: abuse of power.



> No matter the method is a bad take

Perhaps, but I have family going through this and it just makes you so mad. I'd pay to send him to a camp where he's beat with a bullwhip every day if I knew it could cure him.

Perhaps it clouds my judgment a bit, but the alternative is just watching him die, which I'm not stoked about.


> if I knew it could cure him

Would you do the same if the chance of curing or killing him is 50:50?

Or if it’s uncertain that it works at all?


People use drugs in prisons, so I doubt the wellness farms are gonna be able to keep drugs out, much less help people.
