    I have never understood people clowning on "NEET" people. Like you elect to just chill the fuck out and can afford to do so with family connections or whatever fortune has allowed this them to just kick and be "do nothings" seems fine to me. They tend to be harmless and if that's how they want to live that's fine by me. Personally I wouldn't enjoy it but if it works for them why does soceity at large think it's cool to make fun of the person who lives at their parents home past some arbitrary age limit? There seems like better reasons to dunk on someone, but living at your parents place and just being a "loser" seems fine to me.

        I'm not a NEET, however I know many a NEET. They are pretty chill for the most part, only one is legitimately a jerk-wad. I assume you mean "call yourself" in the general sense and not directed at me personally, I assume this cause I assume all folks on hexbear are just joking a bit but in good faith.

        My larger point is that I think it's okay to be layabout if one wants to be, and if one isn't too taxing on those around you I don't see the harm it. Personally, I find it lack self-actualization but at the same time I don't value in just throwing yourself into the thresher that is modern life. Again I wouldn't want that life-path and couldn't if I wanted to for various financial reasons but in the larger leftist-y sense I would assume we would want to create a world where the folks who want to NEET could NEET without shame.

      Its because liberal subjects typically like to pathologically bully anyone "weaker" than them for fun/a rise in social hierarchy and NEETs are very low on the socioeconomic caste system so they are an easy target
