Neetdom isn't inherently unfulfilling, it's the unjust stigma we face from society that makes our lives difficult

Neetdom is no more unfilfilling than an ordinary wagie lifestyle. Both us and wagies are burning away time for no real purpose; while wagies get money out of this, the payment us neets receive is in short-term relaxation and pleasure. Plenty of people live fulfilling lives without working, people who are born into wealth for example or have jobs that have zero responsibilities.

The reason life is difficult for neets is because we are shunned and stigmatized by society. Why do wagies hate neets? The average wagie does npt question why they are working, they just do it because that's the way things are. So they look at us Neets and think "why should I have to work and they don't?! They're just lazy!". They wouldn't think this if work was a pleasurable, fulfilling thing to them. But because they are unsatisfied with waging away all day, they direct their anger at the easiest targets; neets who don't really have much of a voice to defend themselves.

Wagies should recognize that the kind of lifestyle that has been engineered for them IS inherently dissatisfying and frustrating. Engineered by the higher ups in control who work them to the bone for bare minimum and suck them dry. Only if they'd rise up and demand better working conditions, more freedom and less hours, then they'd no longer feel this burning envy at people who get by without working.

I do largely enjoy my job, apart from the occasional stress of a hectic deadline or whatever. Furthermore, the money I make allows me to do things that neets cannot LOL

I think there's a valid argument in there, but it could be expressed more convincingly.

Good points:

"The average wagie [person who works?] does not question why they are working, they just do it because that's the way things are."

"Wagies should recognize that the kind of lifestyle that has been engineered for them IS inherently dissatisfying and frustrating." (really depends on the type of occupation, but this seems true for many generic commercial positions)

"Wagies?"

Anyways, there are some kernels of truth in there, in that most people have little choice but to sell their labor to a boss in order to get by, and even then, that doesn't always work out for them.

That's their term over on r/neet for people that just work generic jobs for mediocre pay.

That's what I figured.

Just... hard to take that term seriously.

OP, do you want to become a NEET and have money ArchiePeck spoke of? There's a crypto out there that is considered the NEET's choice.

To be quite honest, I work to survive and hate doing so. If I can invest in something or build a business I would. I am scared to fail and be broke and homeless on the street.

The typical response is "I'll inherit their house so I'll be fine" though this is neglecting to consider that increasing numbers of old people now end up selling their house in their final years in order to pay for care home/nursing costs for one or both of them if they end up needing it.

The inheritance argument also forgets about property tax; you never just fully own land without having to pay anyone for it. >_>

I can kind of see where theyre coming from... but theyre definitely going about it the wrong way.

I hate being a wage slave and I also think that having to work eight hours+ a day is unhealthy and completely unnecessary.

But everyone should work and contribute to society. Making the standard work day only five or six hours is how it should be.

A lot of them probably aren't old enough for their parents to have passed away yet.
