I try not to be a judgemental person, but boy do I judge by-choice NEETs.

Get out of here with that toxic mindset. Ordinary humans shouldn't have to prove their worth to anybody; if we got rid of capitalism we'd have enough resources for everybody.

Yes. Also the ones who know their parents don't have a lot, but still choose to be sloven burdens who don't contribute.

Just because somone on paper is considered a NEET doesnt mean theyre not doing something helpful
