I just want to stay home and watch anime but society is oppressing me

    Harriet Fraad talks a lot about how different mental health would be in a post-capitalist world. I'm of the opinion NEETs might not even want to be NEETs if the world outside isn't completely hopeless.

    Consider why NEETs want to stay home anyway, it's definitely a reaction to the horrors of late stage capitalism on the psyche.

    There is plastic and all sorts of other things in our food, our top soil is gone, the largest biodiversity habitats on earth are dying, etc. Why would a sane person want to deal with knowing that can't affect that?

    Post-capitalist society would hopefully organize against these kind of global problems instead of carrying on like we are.
