For good reason, eh? Sounds like Nath learned about PACE and how crap the BPS literature is.

It all makes sense in twisted and evil way: they're targeting those who cannot fight back.

According to van Elzakker, this is based on the learned helplessness model.

Is it just me or are they more honest about their views than usual? I'm not 100% sure how to interpret this but it sounds like they may have shown that fatigued people put in less effort, and believe they are more limited in their activities. This is then interpreted as the beliefs causing...

Shit like this then leads to children getting taken away from their families.
