    I guess I would qualify as a NEET. I don't work and never got a degree or certification in anything. I'm also gen Z. My fiance pays the rent currently, but if it ever came down to a "work or lose your home" situation I'd get a part time job at least.

    I've spent most of the last 4 years or so making shit attempts at organizing (mostly adventurism if I'm being honest) spent some time in some orgs, but otherwise I've been pretty lost. I fucking hate reading, but I manage to read something theory related every month or so. I feel like I have to do something, but I realize all the time that I am woefully ill equipped to change my conditions and that leads to me getting a tad defeatist.

    I've found many of my peers are in similar situations, wanting the world to change but not having the tools to fix it.
