Obvious misinformation. If you've read any doujinshi, you'd know that NEETs are sexual monsters that would rape every ripe loli in sight if given the opportunity. If society didn't keep them down they'd genetically inherit the globe.

Hi Mokou.

Am I mentally ill if I want to spend rest of my life in tiny apartment, in front of PC and without having to work?

being a neet is not fun and every day you get weirder and are unable to function outside of your small box

>>22433104
NEET not Hikki.

>>22433104
The mental decay really is the worst part.
After spending years as a hikki NEET I've seen all my knowledge and social skills deteriorate. It's really frustrating when there's a task at hand that needs to be dealt with, and you know you have the experience to completed it because you know you have studied the topic before, only to find out that you have forgotten about everything.

It makes any kind of social situation unbearable, since you struggle to find the right words and sentences to say. And even if you manage to make a coherent sentence, it's difficult to have a conversation, since you've lost the ability to emotionally connect and empathize with others.

i was neet for 4 years and wanted to kill myself everyday shitposting on the jay.

i managed to become a normalfag wageslave because i decided against killing myself. i have all this money and don't know what to do with it anymore because i've been dead inside for so long.

the plan was to kill myself when i was 30. that was a year ago. i remember the threads when others said the same. i wonder if they are still here or actually ended up doing it.

>>22433241
it doesn't help when you consider normal social activities sort of pointless

when >you were a neet, did you at least try to improve your life?

>>22437101
you can try for a little bit, but you'd have to be the kind of person with the self-discipline to structure your time, which most people don't. As well as keep up social interactions so you don't lose your sanity, which most people can't.
Honestly, even having a shitty irregular part-time job is better than being NEET.

I achieved being a neet
but I feel bad about it
Is it normal?

i have a neet hibernation where if i start having hallucinations and delusions basically going insane i go get a job and then when im ok i leave

>>22439736
d-do you really begin to hallucinate? i'm technically not a neet (in college) but I'm about as close to the neet lifestyle as one can get in this position

>>22439736
You turn your brain off and days start melding together. Personally, I have my desk rolled up by my bedside so when I wake up, I can just roll over and browse the internet on my desktop. When I feel tired, I can roll back and rest. The blinds in my room are shut so I generally have no idea what time of day it is without looking at the clock.
My room becomes a stagnant chamber where time idly flies by while I consume anime, manga, and games at a snail's pace. Isolation doesn't really effect me, and I haven't experience any substantial mental decay that might harm my daily life. Being forced to go outside and interact with real life people in order to keep myself fed however, I automatically shift to a personality people would consider "normal" and it's probably some subconscious trigger to hide my vastly different real personality.

Probably lifelong conditioning of growing up living a sedentary, sheltered lifestyle and generally being the outlier of most social groups when I was trying to fit in during my school days. But I'm used to it and am perfectly fine aside from years of depression and crushing nihilism. But you get used to that too and it just turns into apathy.

>>22433252
>wanted to kill myself everyday shitposting on the jay.
same except i was an underager who felt "at least theres older hikis on a/jp, I can remain like this for a while longer."
now everywhere I look its teens or neonorms i cant relate to, places i used to know are long dead, usernames like pokemon97 arent even ironic anymore
Im still hoping to by 30,even sooner would be fine, its scary how fast it aproaches though

>>22439995
yesss i had the most ghetto cardboard box/pc tower monitor stand with a wooden shelf to not have to move from bed
along with the cardboard blacked out windows

it felt a lot better after tearing those down and getting natural light again though.
winter already only has a few hours of daylight here, and its easy to stay up too late and sleep until after sunset, forcing that feel year round made me feel a lot worse
having a decent routine, getting up early at least in the lighter months feels like you have more time in each day. theyre still melted together when you look back, but in the moment it was a lot less depressing

varies person to person but any lurking hikis should try it

>>22441652
get in here #teens

>>22439878
yes it was scary cuz i was eating noodles and i seen a maggot slowly crawling on one of the noodles and then it slowly transformed back into a noodle
another time i was playing pokemon mystery dungeon and i was lookin for a houndoom to recruit and i swear to God they were talking to me and after 3 hours i realized they werent talking to me i was just in a dungeon walking around aimlessly
just know that it doesnt happen to everyone so youll probably be okay

>>22439995
i think thats a good idea because usually i freak out when its nighttime for some reason or when i wake up at 5pm and think to myself what a shitter i am
if theres no time construct nothing to worry about

>>22433241
>It makes any kind of social situation unbearable, since you struggle to find the right words and sentences to say.
This is the shittiest thing. For like, what, ten years now 95% of my communication has happened via text. It's just so fucking difficult to try and form coherent spoken sentences nowadays. I am so used to having a practically infinite amount of time to re-read and revise the text I'm about to post, that trying to come up with something "complete" to say on the spot is just plain impossible. And if I try to explain something with more than a few carefully pre-planned words, I constantly have to stop to think about the next few words and/or retell something with different wording. And then there is the nightmare of articulation. Thank god my native language is at least written as it is spelled.

>>22410122
Who are you quoting?

>>22444036
That post was made a week ago. The correct option would have been to ignore it.

>>22439736
>this, and whats your secret to not going batshit insane?
I try to avoid parasocial relationships that make my fantasies spiral out of control. Chatting with people online is a kind kinds of parasocial relationship, but I deem it to be a better and somewhat healthier alternative to daydreaming about my waifu or potential situations I could find myself in.

Secondly, is that I try to focus on what I'm doing in the moment. Whether I'm grinding an RPG, cooking, or reading a book, I try to keep my mind active in any way I can and think about what I'm doing. Becoming a couch potato who mindlessly consumes media wouldn't improve anyone's life, no matter which walk they chose. I may be a hikki NEET, but I have some standards to uphold.
I'm lucky that I still have some interests from my former life as a normal person, like literature, history, and gardening, that I can focus on. It's not every day I have the energy to do them, or even enjoy doing them, but they give me some kind of stability to my otherwise chaotic and lethargic life.

>i have a neet hibernation where if i start having hallucinations and delusions basically going insane i go get a job and then when im ok i leave
I'm glad you found one way of staying sane, at least. It's always worth looking for more alternatives to stay that way for the periods when you're a NEET. I don't know what your interests are, but arts and language studies were good ways to escape the escapism for me.

>>22410122
haha epic!!1

>>22439736
Learn new things at least every other day. Doesn't have to be big, just read stuff. Create stuff, a journal is a good start. Go outside at least once a day, fresh air is refreshing (heh). Exercise. Learn how to lucid dream, it is truly the greatest escape there we have, while alive at least. You can fly and do pretty much anything you want. Pick a religion to avoid nihilism. Opt for philosophy if you don't want religion. Avoid Nietzsche and all the negative twats. Drink on the days you feel really shitty, just don't get drunk. Of course, anime&videogames&manga. Commit to the NEET life fully or it wont work. A good transition when you get old is a monastery for whatever religion you chose. That's my plan, and it's actually feasible for natural hermits. Sodium Nitrite hero formula for a painless death if you're atheist. With these things you become satisfied enough until you are released. Good luck friends.

Buddhism is god tier for NEETs.

I have delved all my life into alchemy, self-analysis and meditation to the point I'm like a crystal, everything passes through me, is observed and enjoyed, but doesnt leave a mark.

When I'm not actively thinking anything, the mind is silent. The heart is full of love and happiness by default.

I understand everything is Nothingness, the Ultimate and the Void is the same, which is Divine. The Source of everything, the wonderful illusions, the deployment of the Self into infinite possibilites.

Normalfags are ok, daydreaming is ok, waifus are ok, everything is a joyful dance. I just play as if I prefer some flavors rather than others.

Even working so as to have money is experienced as joyful emptyness, just like daydreaming. There's no hallucinations, rather the Mind becomes like a crystal clear pond, reflecting the moonlight. All levels of existance/experience are real onto themselves, but relative to each other.

Vajrayana or Tantrayana teaches you about waifus and characters. Gensokyo is one of many Buddhakṣetra.

Every anxiety, every obligation falls apart against Patience, which reveals everything is like lines of sand in a beach. Like waves in the sea. It's all ok. We are all going to make it. All of I-Us are Buddha, it's just some expressions play as if they are unaware of it.

This is the Bliss of the NEET endgame.

>>22465482
20g mixed with water and three days of an anti-emetic I believe.

SN is relatively painless from what I've read. Possible seizures, but they are usually not very painful, I've had em. Nembutal is the most painless, SN is just cheaper and legal. Nembutal is only legal in Mexico, I think. Check sanctionedsuicide.com for all your Nike needs.

>>22468152
three days what the hell that long
are you able to function normally in the meantime or do you just lie uselessly and starve
also site gives 502

>>22469372
Three days of an anti-emetic medication. It's to make sure you don't vomit it up, which is likely to happen if you don't use it. Actual death from SN is like 10 minutes. Try https://sanctionedsuicide.com

>>22469676
oh thanks I thought you take it and wait 3 days for it to course through body
having done a bit of research, making a CO generator in enclosed space sounds a bit more reliable and quicker (3-5 minutes they say)

I don't know about more reliable, but yeah probably quicker. Just make sure to seal up the area good with duct tape. Hope you make it to Gensokyo, anon.

Hello I'm neet but I own the land I'm on. I live in Kentucky. I have been experimenting with raised bed gardening to try and reduce my expenditures. They are 24 inches high, 12 feet by 4 feet. I would like pic related. If I'm not lazy tomorrow, I must set them up so I can get good dirt in there before the spring

I calculate that I need 20 of these beds to completely mitigate my grocery costs. Also I need barrels of dry sand to put under my house, so my sweet potatoes can last longer

I have recently learned about Jerusalem Artichokes, an invasive plant where I live and also a staple crop in some cultures. If you leave some you buy at the grocery store in the dirt, and water, the perennial crop will mostly take care of itself. I want a forest of the stuff

If you are interested in perennial vegetable gardening I have learned an autistic amount

I always thought raising plants yourself is more expensive than getting it from store
since you need to set up so much and then spend a lot to keep them from dying and then chances for a proper output are not 100%

NEET is a disease. Die worthless leech scum.

But the worst is those who lie. You are worse for posing as NEET when you go to school.
Furthermore, you are not NEET if you are on summer vacation, you are not NEET if you school online, NEET is:
Not in
Employment
Education or
Training.
Dumbass weeaboos. NEET isn't even a japanese term.

I like it.
Socializing with IRL friends always felt like a waste of time to me. Hanging out with one friend was sometimes ok, but doing stuff with a group of people was mind-numbingly boring.

>>22486597
You'll see soon and it'll hit hard.

>>22486597
the reason you dont like socializing irl is because when you go to a socializing event you just sit still like a deer in headlights for 2 hours and maybe one or two people would try to converse with you and fail. of course that'd get boring you dimwit

>>22486808
I've been isolated for almost ten years now and I still enjoy my solitude. I have no family members left, and I've cut all contact with my former friends.

>>22486985

>>22486985
Not him, but I agree that when you're a NEET (and/or hikki) and feel guilty about it, most interactions feel pointless and like a waste of time, and it has nothing to do with your personal success in a social setting.
I feel like this >>22439995 anon when I'm outside. I just look and act normal, I get positive feedback from others, and I'm more of a presence than a lot of "normal" people in the same group.

But when you know that, at the end of the day, you're just going back to your room to masturbate, watch anime, masturbate, read manga and maybe masturbate, it just feels pointless.
People form relationships because it makes them feel less lonely, because it lets them do things they can't do on their own, because it lets them grow faster in their hobbies or skills.


But what if you have no hobbies?
What if you're cultivating no skills?
What if being around them doesn't alleviate the feeling of being alone?
It just ends up feeling like you shouldn't be there.

"If I stayed home, I might have done something productive".
That thought will poison everything. You're never productive, but you might have been if you just stayed home. You went out, so you made it a certainty that you wouldn't be. So nothing can be enjoyed, because you're skipping out on everything else you should have accomplished that day, week, year. And you never do anything, because your daily life is just an endless repetition of negative reinforcement towards yourself.
In the miraculous event that you manage to do soemthing with your day, even small successes end up counting for nothing or worse, making you feel even more worthless. Because they're not a success, they're just a partial reparation for your years of failure.
Why be happy for a small thing coming to fruition after 6 months? Anyone else would have finished it in a week. Finishing it becomes a measure of how much worse you are compared to how you should be. Quick, do something else. You have 5 months and 3 weeks worth of success to achieve before you're on par. Until then, you don't deserve to feel satisfaction.
But then it takes even longer to accomplish that. Your 5 months and 3 weeks project took a year. You need a year's worth of progress NOW to make things right.
And the cycle begins anew.

Isolating yourself leads to insanity.
At least, it did for me.

Looks like I'm on sick leave for a month. At least I can pretend I'm back in my glorious NEET days.

>>22433241
It’s been years since I was a neet and I still occasionally struggle to find common words I need to say something out loud. Didn’t have that problem pre-neet. For better or for worse humans are social creatures.

One day, Mokou was out shopping with the neet. They drank a lot of lemonade and had to piss, so they went to the bathroom together. While Mokou was doing her business, the neet stuck her head under the stall divider.

"So what do you think of that new dress? Shit is so cash, right?"

"Kaguya, you can't do that!" Mokou screamed. "Get out!"

Mokou started kicking the neet in the face, but the neet braved the pain and slithered under the divider and into the spacious stall. The neet carefully squirmed her arm under Mokou's leg and began to finger her. This caused Mokou's piss stream to intensify, a golden torrent rivaling a fire hydrant. The piss was powerful enough to knock down the stall door, sending it crashing into the far wall. Picking Mokou up by her underarms, the neet carried her around as a mobile piss cannon, blasting holes in walls and ripping apart innocent shoppers in a wall of hot urine. When Mokou was finally exhausted, the pair stood in the ruins of the mall, knee--deep in a golden lake. Piss mixed with shoppers' blood rained down from what was left of the ceiling. Too embarrassed to even move, she offered no resistance as the neet shoved her head underwater and drowned Mokou in her own piss. The neet whipped out her cell phone and called Cirno, informing the fairy of a whole new lake that just formed that she can play in.

Fucking normalfags

You guys should be glad that you at least can be a NEET. I get crippling anxiety whenever it feels like I'm not doing something productive. I can't jack off without also adding to my porn collection and I can't watch anime unless I frame "having seen many anime" as some kind of accomplishment I'm working towards. Everything I do is burdened with a need to perform and unrealistic expectations.

None of this actually makes me more productive than the average person, of course.

Yeah I've basically been a NEET for the last two years and shit sucks, it's just flown by and I waste all my time getting high and looking at shit online, I feel like I don't even watch and read as much anime and manga or play as many games as I actually want to because I just endlessly scroll and can't focus

It's possible you won't experience this, I've been a neet for some years now and I'm still sane for the most part.

You will most likely become more nihilistic if you aren't already, I assume most people here have experienced at least a few existential crises. It's a strong reason people decide to just stay in their rooms, there is no motivating reason to leave.

Bit late, but it's not that you're pathetic. Humans (and animals in general really) are built to follow the path of least resistance. The fabric of the internet has ultimately been built up to revolve around this concept - most big sites out there, including 4chan, require 0 effort to browse and provide constant stimulus. You're psychologically primed to waste time every day.

The key thing to do is recognize this proclivity and then try to steer yourself away from it. This requires effort and self-awareness. I'll try and provide some tips.

First of all, log out of any accounts on social media like facebook, reddit, twitter, and so on. The "frontpage"/feed of these sites are designed around jamming more content than you could ever consume down your face, such that you stay on their site for as long as possible (generating ad revenue and so on for them). As long as you're logged in to those, you'll be stuck in their swamp, wasting your time.

Second, recognize that starting something is harder than continuing on with it. Starting a game is hard, but continuing to play it is much less so. The path of least resistance is usually to load up a website rather than start a game, so you'll subconsciously avoid starting things in favor of web browsing. What you need to do is work up bursts of energy to force yourself to start a game. Once it's up, you should be good. (And also, it's good to be aware of what games/anime you actually like. If you force yourself to play things you don't like, you might end up thinking you don't like games or whatever when in reality you just weren't aware of your taste.)

Third, get plenty of sleep and eat well. Poor sleeping habits and diets can have bad effects on mental health, which I bring up here because if you're depressed from sleep deprivation you'll have motivation problems and it will be more difficult for you to enjoy things. Lack of sleep is seriously harmful.

Fourth, try to keep your web browser closed. This is like an evolution of step one. This can honestly be hard if you're the type to google a bunch of guides and stuff, but in general you want to create an environment where the only option you have is to be productive. There was a period of time where I would unplug my ethernet cord so I had literally no choice but to play games and stuff offline.

So, to summarize: Log out of social media. Close your web browser if at all possible. Recognize that starting a game is harder than playing it, so force yourself to start things. Sleep and eat well.

I did this to apply, sick of being a NEET. I didn't bother to apply for anything for 2years because it's too much of a hassle, then sent out one after a few months and felt like I did something despite it being laughable, now I forced myself to do it for days and once you start it's really easy.

Gonna stop being a NEET next year and I'd rather have a stressful worklife than this constant existential dread.

>>22574455
Thanks anon. I really do need to get out of the social media loop. It's the worse. I also have a tendency to open a bunch of tabs to read "later" and then have a billion tabs open that I never close (especially on my phone) and feel overwhelmed. I mostly need to go through and clear that shit out and stop it from happening again. I procrastinate everything. I need to focus more on actually doing things. I usually wake up and think "I'll watch the anime that came out today then play the game I was playing or catch up on old anime" but half the time don't even get to that because I put off watching the anime and waste time or am not even that interested but I feel like I should watch it because I committed to it already. And I usually enjoy them I just can so easily waste hours on here or twitter or whatever just mindlessly browsing

You know, that reminds me of a story:

A /jp/ro and a /b/tard walk into a thread.

"Niggers lol", says the /b/tard.

"Epic," replies the /jp/ro "simply epic."

While the /b/ro greentexts about fapping to his own mom, our /jp/ro has latched onto someone who mentioned homosexuality in jest and is relating back his experiences with being gay and asking probing questions in an attempt to build a rapport with anyone who will listen.

Hours pass. Our /b/ro has long since left. Our /jp/ro on the other hand, has long since derailed the thread with his bullshit, having roped an /a/ro into conversation. The /jp/ro couldn't care less if the guy was from reddit, since he NEEDS to blog.

They sympathize with each other on things that are completely trivial, but to them it means the world.
Everyone lurking hides their posts.
Some even tell them to shut the fuck up.
This is quickly deflected by the /jp/ro. "no bully" is his battlecry, no capitalization showing his feigned indifference. (At least, in any other human it would be feigned, but /jp/ro's are notoriously incapable of introspection and may not feel shame.)

A third poster arrives. All of them are posting anonymously, but our /jp/ro divulges so much information he might as well use his Steam name.
That's the place where our third poster recognizes him from, after all.

The circlejerk intensifies. Time becomes strange. It's unknown how long it goes on for, but the thread eventually dies of natural causes despite being the furthest thing from "Otaku Culture" on the board at the time.
You see, the /jp/ro is so good at playing the victim and acting like he is somehow in the right with his rhetoric and formal appearance fools the janitor completely, every time without fail.

With the death of the thread, he logs onto some social networking site.
What happens after that is unknown, but you can be sure it was shitty!

How many NEETs are there actually on this board? Do you think NEETs are becoming a bigger problem in the West and could get to Japan levels one day?

to get a job you want you need experience.
to get experience you need to work an internship
to get an internship you need an interview
to get an interview you must first have prior knowledge
to have prior knowledge you need to do research
to do research you need to know someone who knows something
to know someone who knows something you need an internship

>Why be happy for a small thing coming to fruition after 6 months? Anyone else would have finished it in a week.
Mmm... I don't have the impression that normalfags are that productive. Most of them waste their life away doing some menial labor. If you manage to make a routine, you may progress in something meaningful (for you). However slow you are at it, you will advance more than people that are "too busy working".

I will sell food and other things using an auto rickshaw to escape from this neet hell anon, wish me luck

descend into madness

Ahh, winter makes me feel like shit.
Need some Vitamin D so I can feel ok again.
I want to do nothing, but I am not a NEET anymore, so I have to work and shit.

>>22601103
I lack vitamin D and B12 all the time, shit sucks

>>22602103
I can feel the lack of it literally drain my soul.
Why must the cycles affect me so much?
At least nowadays I get why its happening and can help myself.

>>22602406
what exactly happens to you?
I get some pseudo narcoleptic fits from time to time, I lose my strength and get extremely sleepy.
But I don't know if it's related to the vitamin, I'm getting checked for this shit but so far no idea

>>22602439
I feel tired all day and dont even want to do the things that I would usually consider fun.
Basically I have no energy at all.
Things become a bigger pain in the ass than they should be.
I fall asleep when I sit in front of the pc and read manga.
Thoughts of non-existence and depression increase.
Loneliness reaches its peak.

>>22602470
Oh I see, I'm also always out of energy. I pretty much run on music. Check all kinds of music, find something you REALLY like, Cycling through my favorite music is the only thing that makes me function.

>>22602524
By the way, and this is for everyone: I've met a guy who came out of deppression because of a treatment.

Turns out some people are fucked up because of fungi levels inside the body. The intestines generate most of the serotonin in the body, not the brain, and if you run low you get deppressed. Might be something interesting to check out. Like candida fungi levels.

I get the feeling the neet problem in the west is strongly enabled by 4chan and related websites, which possible carries over similar values over from the Japanese.

What I mean by this is that any normal activity: going outside, talking to people (especially women), having full time employment, hell even masturbating to 3D porn (instead of hentai) is looked down upon. Stating that you do any of these is met with instant ridicule accompanied by a picture of George Costanza from Seinfeld and an implied quote, e.g. :

>2013 >going outside >talking to women

Posters on 4chan wear their neet achievements like a badge of honor. How long they haven't left their room for, how many cum/piss bottles they have filled up (with pictures for proof) or the latest anime they have marathoned.

Many just don't see the need to reenter society. Their dietary needs are pretty basic. Entertainment is provided by video games and the sheer volume of anime being churned out by the studios these days, a lot of which consists of cute underage girls (or sisters) doing cute/sexually suggestive things. Sexual urges are fulfilled by the copious amounts of hentai available on the web.

>>22605116
Many have chosen "waifu"s (or "husbando"s depending on your orientation), which serve as their significant others. These waifu's usually come from their favorite anime. They may just hold that waifu very dearly or they may adorn their walls with pictures of her or buy figurines of her. Some have dakki pillows of that characters which are full length body pillows with their character printed on it. The more deluxe versions have removable layers for the various layers of undergarments ( http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/f73e8f13ea9e2762db0a...... ). Some even have "holes". You should see the dedication of these guys on valentines day; candle-lit dinners covered with rose petals. It would put most normal-fags to shame (however I still don't get how a Thinkpad screen can eat chocolate cake). For in depth explanation of the waifu phenomenon see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YtwPPsBKGQ .

But it is not just an affinity for 2D women. It's a hatred of 3D / IRL women too. Most view 3D women as lying, manipulative whores who are not to be trusted. Contrast this to their imaginary waifu's who will always love them and never betray. This is probably due their difficulties they have experience with women due to their personalities. There is even word for this is 3DPD: 3D Pig Disgusting.

Yes, I know "mai waifu" and "3DPD" started off as a joke, but it has gone way past that point. What started of as self-degrading humour has become deeply ingrained in the collective psyche of 4chan.

>>22605122
There is also the question of money. In Japan, most hikki stay with their parents, I assume mainly due to high rental costs there. But most of the 4chan posters who are neets (most aren't and do actually hold sucessful full-time jobs, but the number who are is disproportionately high), get government funding and/or free housing. The funding usually comes in the disability benefits (for autism-spectrum/mood disorders, real or perceived) which they call "autism bux" or unemployment benefits. Also housing is pretty cheap in the west esp. in N. America and the Nordic countries, allowing them to live independently. I think this is one of the main differences between Western neets and hikki's.

There is a lot of negativity there as you can imagine. What is scary is how easily this negative emotion is channeled. What was /b/, the general/most active board on 4chan, is now /pol/, the politics board. And with that jump comes feeding of far-right views like antisemitism and strong anti-black racism from that hate. But for some strange reason, they consider Koreans (East Aryans) and other asians (but not Indians) part of the master race. This is possibly due to their love of k-pop and anime.

We all remember donglegate with Adria Richards. That was originally picked up by /pol/ who worked the crowed and then passed it on to /b/ for execution. While HN saw it as political correctness gone mad, /pol/ saw it differently. Not only was she a liberal feminist, but she was a half n1gger k1ke-kess too!

There are many "why aren'y you a neet?" or "neet masterrace" threads, extolling the virtues of the neet lifestyles, ridiculing those who work, boasting about how much "autism bux" they get and swapping tips on how to get more. The thrify money-saving tips are pretty good too.

>>22605129
Again with the rise of /pol/ these threads have taken an anti-semetic twist. Right now there is a thread called "ITT: Why Jews make you NEET" >>>/pol/16647507 , but it probably will die quickly. Most of the posts are jokes, but I am uncertain as to what extent they consider their views as jokes vs reality.

4channers also understand the economic and social forces that put them in this neet situation. This is expressed in "People who should die: Baby Boomers" threads, mocking the employment advice baby boomers gave "I paid my way through college by serving tables. I just walked up to the manager and he gave me a job." There are also threads of Penn Gillette binning resumes with sub 4.0 GPA's for McDonald's jobs, but that meme is far too complicated and contrived to explain.

Some neets just don't want to go back to society in it's current state. You see many threads comparing the degeneracy of a modern woman (e.g. a white woman race-mixing with a black man or just being promiscuous) versus a poster from Nazi Germany depicting nuclear aryan family. Again, this is an joke taken to the extreme, but it hides their possible views about today's society. They feel that with more traditional gender roles not only would women be more approachable and their chance be better, the idea of a relationship would be more attractive as opposed to "lol empowered womyn", i.e. sluts. They also hark back to the days of racial hegemony.

Another difference with Japanese hikkis, is that they become that way far earlier than their western counterparts. Many western neets lost their jobs in the economic downturn and just failed to re-enter employment as opposed to dropping out highschool. Many were coders who you can catch on the Daily Programming Threads (DPT) on /g/; some are pretty talented and are working on quite interesting projects. They even had a visual novel of SICP in the works at some point.

>>22605129
This post was intended to a far shorter reply, but I think it turned into a braindump about 4chan. But I'm trying to get across how 4chan enables people in the west to live the neet lifestyle. Posters even acknowledge this, "if it wasn't for 4chan I would still have a job/girlfriend/friends, instead I'm fapping to Touhou porn." It just sucks people in with it's "it's ok to be a neet" attitude.

If you're curious take a look. /b/ has devolved into some sort of infantile cesspit. /pol/ seems to be where "the happening" is at. I generally think it's best to browse 4chan while you still have a full time job. Otherwise you'll end up spending too much time there, slowly warping your mind. Before you know it you'll be fapping to futanari porn of you favorite anime telling people how jews control the world.
