New Documentary Hell Camp: Teen Nightmare ft. TC Fleming
🕑 Added 2024-01-18 18:13:08 +0000 UTCBack with some new content. In this episode, I discuss the new Netflix documentary Hell Camp with TC Fleming. The documentary tracks the invention of the wilderness camp approach to dealing with troubled teens. TC did not go to a wilderness camp, but did go to a troubled teen institution for a year.
At the end of the episode, we began talking about my recent NLRB charges against Cumulus Media, but I have decided to edit that talk out and leave it mostly as a tease for a later date, perhaps Feb 1, when I will release the whole thing.

I've always thought these camps could be an election issue if the Democrats could be bothered. When conservatives go on about "parent's rights" this is what they're talking about. A parents right to send their kid to a completely unregulated concentration camp run by insane cultists.

I’m fascinated by these camps. As a kid I heard about them and begged to go and my parents wouldn’t let me. I never knew they were for troubled kids. I just wanted to live in a tent for a year. Guess I should thank them.

Adoptee discussion based. Looking forward to the day when adoption is no longer an untouchable institution.

Look up the adoptees rights movement. The dominant narrative that adoptive parents and natural parents have the same kind of relationship with their children and vice versa (at least, in most cases) is pretty naive.

For those wondering why Liz is not on this episode I already typed “Alabama” and “Execution” into the google search bar for you and not surprisingly the answer is terrible. https://www.aclu.org/news/capital-punishment/alabama-plans-to-execute-a-man-with-nitrogen-gas-despite-jurys-life-verdict#:~:text=On%20January%2025%2C%20the%20state,a%20mask%20until%20he%20suffocates.

Quite unrelated but I think it would be interesting for Matt to go to a Scientology center and get audited (as he presumably is safe from brainwashing or whatever) and report back

Rather than there being a biological explanation for adopted kids being over represented at these camps it seems much more likely that the type of person more likely to adopt is also more likely to be aware of these camps and primed to see the advertised methods as beneficial to their kids. For example, if conservative evangelical couples tend to adopt more than other couples, are there pipelines within evangelical communities for sending troubled kids to these camps? The biological explanation seems pretty fraught.

The whole part about whether sending your own child to it proves they're true believer or not. They could just to think it's ok to abuse kids so that's why they sent their own kids to it lol

Yeah Brace was in one I believe? And he’s kept up with some of the happenings there over time. Episode 100 for some intro, 262 for CEDU, then their 5 part series “The Game”

TrueAnon can be hit or miss, but they had a great series on these camps a while back
