Wealth inequality is the cause of almost every single economic and social issue in existence.

If young men had the money to have agency in their lives they would be living life instead of living with their parents to save money while seeking validation through internet fascists.

If school wasn't desigend to be a day care service for Capitalists our children would be properly socialized with the different sexes/genders before getting the chance to grow up into incels.

Ah, that's why there are no rich incels!

I call it economic infantilization.

Back in 1960 US minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00 A brand new car was around $2,500.00 A teenager could move out of the house and be self supporting and grade school kid could work hard and pay for a car on their 18th birthday.

It's hard to feel like an independent adult when you can't afford anything.

I cry bullshit. Incels aren't that way because of money. Generation X ate out of dumpsters and did what they could to survive. Not saying younger generations have it easy, but you can be broke and not be a misogynist. From what I understand, sex offenders created the incel movement to normalize their bullshit. Trump and all of those rapists want a world where they can be evil with no consequences. They are working hard towards that end. They need an army of like minded degenerate perverts to achieve this. The algorithms promote this sort of insecure male content on YouTube and other media. Most of those influenders make money trafficking women for sex. This is a new thing. 30 years ago, people were moving away from sexism, and racism. Now, everyone is a protégé of the sociopath billionaires and misogynist tech bro oligarchs. People need to realize this isn't a natural movement, it's a synthetic one. Fuck incels! Not literally, of course.

I'm sure they expect others to take care of them though. Like giant house pets.

US version of Japan's Hikikomori?

Fuck these losers. Just discard them from society.

Aren't these guys misusing blackpilled? I thought it was specifically for suicide not just going NEET? Which like we should talk about but not through this corporate productivity-washed drivel.

If you also didn't know

"Not in Education, Employment or Training", its an acronym for people that don't go to school, don't work and are mot looking for work.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Also it's a backronym from the similar Japanese term which refers to a growing number of people there who have abandoned society and hole themselves up in their room literally never going outside.

Wictionary says it went the other way from NEET to ニート(nīto): https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%83%8B%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88

You're probably thinking of 引きこもり(hikikomori): https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BC%95%E3%81%8D%E3%81%93%E3%82%82%E3%82%8A#Japanese

I always found "hikikomori" very amusing, because if it was slightly different, and written "hikikomero", it would literally mean "sweat closet" in Finnish (hiki = sweat, komero =closet) , which is a very apt concept for how lots of hikikomori live.

Sounds like another name for a sauna to me 😅

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

That is true as well.

But having like a few pc's and a microgrow going in a small dark room isn't too far from a sauna

As always nothing will be done on a public level.

What a terrible article. NEETS and lie flat movement has almost no overlap with incels.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 20 hours ago

Ostensibly the whole world has been online for enough time now. Yet everyone continues to demonstrate a remarkable lack of ability to grasp internet cultures.

It makes no sense. Like trying to explain technology to my elderly grandma. Except she knows she's very old and out of touch. What's everyone elses excuse. It's made even worse because everyone else thinks they are digitial culture savvy.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

It's intentional to cause infighting and and to help build the association between neets and incels.

Ars Technica is owned by Conde Nast media conglomerate, which is owned by Advanced Publications, which is owned and controlled by the billionaire Newhouse Family.

That's why Steve Newhouse wants these types of articles to be written, because it obfuscates truth and pushes division.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

What a shit headline. Yes we should care about people saying fuck it. But not this colored pill horseshit.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Reading these comments makes understanding why the world is in its current state, extremely easy

Keep preaching and applying that brand of empathy guys, it will surely pay off eventually
