I miss when autists were just your basic weird spergs or non-verbal retards instead of just a direct pipeline into playing degenerate dress-up

Dumb nigger actually thought his crypto-commie word salads would not be object of ridicule for boomer conservatives watching Faux News, who would then share the interview to the rest of the internets and cause the "moviment" to be mocked even further.

It was working.
With every word that NEET spoke I could feel myself shifting from evil far right reactionary to a maga hat wearing boomer. I even started feeling the desire to grill. Truly horrifying.

There did seem to always be a post about "I got fired from X jobs for being trans". Weird to me bc I've worked with several trans people and nobody cared besides trying to work out the pronouns.

It's so baffling that leftists seem to think that the most mentally ill, incapable people in society are the best people to choose as representatives of their political stances.
Even if they're totally devoted to the progressive stack, you'd think there would be overriding pragmatic concerns.

That's if you're an absolute bottom tier unskilled labourer, roofing or raking asphalt or down in a ditch 50 hours a week.
There are plenty of electricians, plasterers/painters, plumbers, mechanics, equipment operators etc that do not have these issues. Source: am from a extremely blue collar family.

oh look, not their first interview ever:I did some more digging. Nick Ford had his name changed to Doreen Ford. Doreen Ford isn't just an alias, it's his/her legal name now.
it looks like that person has moved out of New Hampshire, so the data on the CV is most likely outdated or just a mailing address.
3 minutes in: "I've been looking forward to doing this. When I listen to the podcast, I think to myself, how would I answer this?"
Talks like a total male the whole time, intended to play bass in a failed band called "Mental Breakdown" with friends. Sold it because of COVID.
"How many 9-yr olds do you think you could beat up?" He drones on about how he used to beat up his little brother in pretend wrestling(another popular female pasttime) and claims he could still beat up his now 18 year old(at the time of the podcast) brother since he's built like a wimp. Suffered from TDS in 2017, dating a Kim(she) at the time & coped with Kingdom Hearts replays. Went on some sort of road trip pre-pandemic, made it to Colorado & says he was interviewed by a local news station on the weather at the time. Speaks to his sweetie off camera during the interview around Q#29. Has a custom-made Butterfree pokemon cosplay dress.
The Bob Buel mentioned in this description is also the host of the 99 Questions podcast listed above. Just how incestuous are these little shows?

Doreen Ford spent 10 years working in retail stores in the Boston area and hated it.
So in 2017, when Ford’s grandmother suggested that she give up her traditional job altogether and leverage her love of dogs to make ends meet, she went for it. Ford walks dogs part-time, but otherwise has not held a traditional job since and says she has never been happier.
“Usually, at best, [working was] pointless,” said Ford, 30, “and at worst it was degrading, humiliating and exploitative”.
Ford is an early pioneer of the “antiwork” movement, which encourages followers to work as little as possible in traditional jobs or abandon them altogether for self-employment, with the goal of prioritising leisure time.
She is also a moderator of r/antiwork, the influential thread on internet forum Reddit. Its membership has ballooned from 180,000 in October 2020 to 1.6m this month as the coronavirus crisis leads many to re-evaluate their careers.
Huge numbers of Americans quit their jobs last year, including 4.5m in November, the labour department reported on Tuesday. That was the highest “quit rate” since the department began tracking it in 2001. Data show that many workers probably left their jobs after receiving better offers.
But the labour force participation rate has flatlined to below pre-pandemic levels, indicating that some workers still have not returned to the labour force despite record job openings. Many may be focusing on their care-giving responsibilities, or are fearful of contracting Covid-19. But at least some seem to have become disillusioned with conventional employment opportunities during the pandemic, like Ford.
Their numbers are sufficient to prompt Goldman Sachs to warn in a November research note that the antiwork movement posed a “long-run risk” to labour force participation.
“I think there’s a lot of positions that just don’t make any sense, that do not have to exist,” Ford said. “You’re just pushing around papers for no good reason. It doesn’t really help anybody.”
“Idlers”, as members of the antiwork movement call themselves, largely believe that people should strive to work as little as possible and preferably for themselves. Many who have stopped working say they operate their own microbusinesses, like Ford, or work as few hours as possible in part-time jobs in order to survive. Some take on roommates or raid dumpsters for food to reduce their cost of living, according to Ford.
The antiwork movement traces its ideology back to Marxist texts suggesting that humanity could evolve beyond the requirement to work for a living. A parallel has emerged in the popular “lay flat” trend among Chinese millennials, where they swear off ambitious careers in favour of simpler, less materialistic lives.
Antiwork first appeared on Reddit in 2013. A survey of almost 1,600 members of the “subreddit” administered by its moderators found that they were heavily male and based in North America. Half of the respondents say they still have full-time jobs.
The subreddit is filled with stories that workers say prove that their bosses do not care about them.
One poster, who goes by amethysttt07, cited the case of a promised pay increase that went instead to a co-worker without explanation: “Just a friendly reminder unfortunately we are all disposable and can get replaced in an instant. Even if you try your best and slave away hours it won’t pay off.”
Another bragged about working from home while infected with Covid-19, but “[playing] video games 85 per cent of the time”. “Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I f**k around on company time baby,” wrote Brotendo88.
But its most celebrated posts are screenshots of resignation letters and text messages. They proved so popular that moderators restricted their publication to Sundays.
“We maybe consider that there might be an alternative to living our lives in thrall to the wealthiest among us, serving their profit,” said historian Benjamin Hunnicutt, a University of Iowa professor whose books on the history of work are featured in r/antiwork’s library. “Maybe there are other things to do with our lives than piling up profits for those that are ultra-rich, and taking that time, reclaiming that time.”
Economists say that it is almost impossible to measure how changing attitudes about work have played into labour market trends, but that cultural shifts could help explain some of the market’s peculiarities. Employers from Tyson Foods to FedEx are complaining that they cannot find enough workers despite higher wages.
At the same time, a wave of strikes last autumn led to many workers pressuring their employers for better benefits after years of stagnant wages and fear of health risks added to their jobs during the pandemic. “Idlers” even got involved in some of those labour actions, submitting thousands of bogus applications to a hiring website Kellogg’s set up to replace striking workers at its cereal plants.
With its activism, r/antiwork has garnered comparisons to another prolific Reddit subthread, WallStreetBets. Last year, retail traders drove up the prices of “meme stocks” such as beleaguered video game retailer GameStop and cinema chain AMC in a co-ordinated effort to punish hedge funds shorting those equities.
“Most of us are just normal people,” Ford said. “We have jobs that we don’t like, which is the whole point of why we’re in the movement to begin with.”

Model Airplanes are also nerd shit but nerd shit from before Anime took over. My reasoning is that Anime and Nerd Shit has been much easier and much more cheaply encountered. Finding Anime for example is not hard and the cost of watching it is essentially $0 (mitigating other factors that are cost of life such as the cost of internet). Model Airplanes/Warhammer/Dinosaurs/whatever right now (which is a hobby I have engaged with) has a massive cost of get into it. It used to be a buy a good model it would cost you anywhere from $5-$10 and rarely go to $15 for a Spitfire (for example). Right now, my local hobby shop sells such models for $25+ and more especially more if they are name branded ones like Airfix and not China level poor quality ones. That prices out the kids instantly if your allowance if $10 a week or something like that. Why pay 3 weeks of allowance on just a model mind you without going into the reoccurring cost of paint, glue, and other extra costs when the same amount of money can net you a used videogame with 40 hours of playtime for a flat fee of a used console. This also is without taking into account companies like Games Workshop who continually increase prices for no reason.
The cost benefit analysis always works in favour of Anime and Video Games. The cost of hobbies has been increasing thus why people turn to stuff that has no ground cost like Anime.

Lemme paint you a picture of what 'Being fired for being trans' actually looks like.
At the grocery store, you approach an employee from behind who appears to be a man.
"Excuse me sir, where's the X located?"
As they turn you realize its an abomination, even behind their anime mask you can see the anger slipping out.
They unload on you , yelling and hurling insults before a manager notices the interaction and comes over.
The troon being unable to socialize with your average person isn't able to keep their composure and ends up getting fired for their temper tantrum.
The troon goes home and jumps on social media to complain about transphobia.

Best part was how seriously the AntiWork guys were taking this shit, when it was clearly one of those smackdown interviews mainstream news do. Where they bring on the most strawman ridiculous weirdos, just to smuckle at them for a couple of minutes.

I understand that. I know and have known plumbers and electricians who have their own business (not commercial but residential) that have retired due to their shattered bodies. Again, my point was that there are ups and downs to everything but making it sound like tradesmen just make $60k/year without any draw backs is essentially falsifying information. Again, I do agree that not everyone should go to university.
