r/NEET - Who needs a job when you can post on Reddit?

[Sargon's wife's son]

I mean you really can't blame these people Western Society is degenerate and doesn't reward Hard work like it used to.
So what would anybody's incentive to go out and work hard at their job be when they can easily be replaced by some h1b Pakistani at the white collar job and anytime.

In retrospect maybe in America you really are a wage slave

Method to the madness and all that. I don't live there so I wouldn't know

thats just the average american crying about 9$ an hour for a job a monkey could do and not being able to buy a house with that Mcdonalds job. The problem here is not wageslavery, is entitlement

NEETs just lack imagination. Get yourself a job where you get paid well to do fuckall, you get the benefits of being a lazy cunt while maintaining a career.

NEETs are people not "diverse" enough or not savvy enough to get a government job right out of school.

Maybe the not affording a house part. But american minimum wage is ridiculously low. And folk do seem to sneeze on people who work certain jobs which is douchey.

But american minimum wage is ridiculously low.

Compared to a couple other first world countries where taxes tend to be much higher anyways? compare it to literally everywhere else and americans come off as grossly overpaid but they whine more than third worlders where not even engineers make those same 9 bucks an hour a 15 yr old at Mcdonalds makes.

The fact people can live off neetbux and whine about it on reddit is already a product of privilege, where even a retard makes more being a retard than people in other parts of the world make by working, NEETs would not be a thing if they didn't had the support network to being with. Somehow twisting this to be some sob story for poor poor americans and norther europeans is cringy as hell.

It's not just a "couple of countries" anymore

USA isn't the rare superpower it thinks it is anymore. Other countries are building up and surpassing its standard.

What? So even they get paid that low? Lol. Sad.

And yeah sometimes people are entitled to better pay and conditions. That's what unions are for

Neets should not be a thing, people should work for their keep, yes.

But it might be a symptom of a broken system. Maybe the USA really is cucked.

 

[ICraveDeath]

I wish his poor mom/dad/grandparent could just live their retirement in peace instead of keeping this retard sheltered, clothed and fed

What else would you expect?

He's also a tranny chaser lmao

Well, what the fuck did he expect they'd do? They're the government, anything they do for you has strings attached lmao

Hey, at least these ones get it.

At least they're doing something I guess. Still though, is it really that hard to put in 20 hours at McDicks a week?

Welcome to the NHK is a fantastic anime/light novel that follows a Japanese shut in. The LN didn't have it, but the anime had a great line about how being a Hikikomori was a luxury in and of itself.

Spoiler: powerlevel

I was a former NEET. You get money but it's not enough to actually do anything with your life, it keeps you alive and you just get used to it. It's a pathetic life and I hate that I fell into that pit, but it's a weird kind of hell. The money is enough to let you survive, so you don't have the sink or swim mentality forcing you to deal with whatever is holding you back. At the same time it's not enough money to enjoy life or save up for something you want. Add in shitty mental health care, stupid requirements for entry level jobs (cleaning jobs asking 2+ years experience) and I can see how people don't always get out of that lifestyle. Easily the least favourite part of my life.

None of the people in that community are happy btw, and for how they spend their day, I can guess it's on the itnernet and playing videogames. I really, really, wish I spent my time studying as a neet. I definitely had the time to learn a skill, I just didn't have any passion or ideas. Now I hate myself for all the wasted time, mainly imageboards. Still you can't be the person you are today if you didn't make mistakes and I think I learned some important lessons, better late than never.

seriously, like how people flip out on fast food employees. Their still people man, and shit a job's a job. Don't expect someone who's there all day getting paid shit to not put pickles on your burger, it's not the end of the world. Is it bull shit- yeah a little but no need to flip out on them or look down on someone trying to make a legit paycheck

That's always pissed me off as well. Like yeah, it's annoying, but there's way bigger problems in the world. Society would probably be in a much better place if people were more empathetic towards people who are at least trying to do something with their lives.

The funny thing is, doing nonsense internet stuff for money like answering surveys pays less than minimum wage and is probably even less enjoyable than most minimum wage jobs when done for a long period of time.

 

[Grotesque Bushes]

NEETs are people not "diverse" enough or not savvy enough to get a government job right out of school.

There are jobs where you do fuckall everywhere, you just need to think and apply yourself to get there. Working for a year or three is terrible and soul shattering for a NEET, but then 40 years of being paid for watching videos and hanging out with buddies seems worth it.

As someone who has had NEET tendencies I must say, even the shittiest wageslaving cuckjob is better than staying at home doing fuckall.
You may not have a glamour line of work but it is still a better reason to get up in the morning than "Welp, time to get on the porn throne"

So is this thread for anything about NEETs or just stuff from the subreddit?
I was wondering as I found some stuff that might be interesting but I'm too autistic to know if it fits

I think it was originally supposed to be just for the subreddit, but I'm pretty sure this is the only active thread about them.

Reddit has appropriated NEETs, I mean it was only matter of time but god damn they seem to just make being a jobless loser a "haha quirky I hate my family and took their money wow" kinda personality instead of treating it as a "well fuck nobody's hiring my ass and I can't afford college or training" kinda thing that it is. it's not even like the chan culture NEET shit where It's people joking about how wageslaves live less fulfilling lives and screaming about how they want tendies. It's pure-distilled, reddit mentality of doing abhorrent shit to your family behind their backs or throwing your life away for upvotes and status in the circlejerk. Painful.

I wouldn't say it's too far from the Hikikkomori lifestyle in Japan, but it has its own pathological flavor because of how reddit rewards you. There's a similar but somewhat different community on 2ch but they interact differently because it's an imageboard.
