Are NEETs the aristocrats of the modern world...

I'm a Neet whose favourite authors are Pynchon, Robert Jordan, and Hemingway. I recently ordered Infinite Jest and Beat to Quarters from my local bookstore. The lady had never heard of Infinite Jest, and all the decorations of the store were for children and women. I hadn't been in there in 10 years.

I'm living on schizobucks, but I also write ramblings. I want to write a book someday, but it's hard for me to be realistic.

Based as fuck. What sport?

Get it written user, at the least it will be more interesting and different than most of the shit that gets pedalled these days. Just make sure your say something worthwhile in it

wow reading that totally made me want to turn my life around. You've completely changed my way of thinking. I'm gonna go get a job first thing tomorrow. Lol

I personaly do not know how you do it. If I go to long withought structured work I go into a malaise. Maybe if you had outside commitments like gym, literature club, etc it could work.

Like that’s my job, cunt. You’ve got to want it, obviously. The sooner you realise you’re a parasite, the better

Boxing, which is incidentally how I got into Latin and literature in general. I was reading a book about references to boxing in literature throughout history, read a passage from Virgil, began reading a book about the Aeneid called Other Voices in Vergil's Aeneid, which introduced me to fairly high-level literary criticism, and it snowballed.

Imagine being this miserable

>shame
Not a NEET anymore but i feel more shame now as a wagecuck than i ever did as a NEET

That's cool, I practiced Boxing for some time as well, but ended up turning to other martial arts.
I know this is is a Yea Forums thread, but there's a singer which makes various boxing references in his work. Check out "Duk Kim Koo" by Sun Kil Moon (that's two boxer names for you)

Excellent retort. I suppose I’ll stop bullying you, you NEETs already have it pretty bad. You can change though. It’s never too late. Or you can be a pleb and waste your life, makes no difference to me

Your break is over wagie. Go back to making money for Mr. Goldsberg.

>who pays for you to live? Are you ashamed? In
Government by way of taxpayer. Not ashamed because it would cost the tax payer even more if I'd sued for damages rather than just taking the pension. Occasionally ashamed that I didn't sue the doctors who made me disabled on a moral principle because they're still treating people. But I paid taxes and they took away my ability to work, and I still try to pay into revenue even when I could claim tax back. I think most people resent tax paying but without it a lot of public services and help for people even more disabled than I am disappears, and if I wanted to change anything, I'd start by cutting the tax money going to my former doctors who are paid to never see me again.
My parents pay for some stuff because they are generous but that's because I can't convince them every time to give it to charity instead. They did the same when I was working and asked for Christmas presents to be donation cards; they'd donate and then also buy me a gift because they would "feel bad" if they didn't give a "real present".
I think people who don't contribute to society and don't work wind up feeling even more helpless and almost like spoiled children, so I see where you're coming from but I'm lucky I'm adverse to that kind of learned helplessness. I went to a disability group once and the maddest people were the least disabled while the happiest with government services were the people who probably need more services to be directed at them. It was bizarre seeing people in wheelchairs feeling like they had more control over their lives compared to people who simply had no drive.
You need some structure and purpose to not end up a misery. I go to the gym so I don't become more disabled and to have something that gets me out of the house. I learn how to make new cuisines and have a lot of time to pick up new skills. I haven't noticed having more time for reading because most of what I fill in my extra time with is designed to keep me active and functional, and sitting for long periods of time isn't one of those things. I think I read more when I had to commute, but most of my jobs before I got fucked up didn't involve a commute so that's neither here nor there. I got out to more events when I was still working, because it was easier to plan those things, but that might be a function of age as well as disability.

How did you become disabled

Thanks, I'll check it out. It's about the Korean boxer that died during or after (I forget) a match with Mancini? Fairly appropriate since the match I mention from the Aeneid almost leads to one of the contestants dying. And I suppose I could've had the same misfortune, seeing as I gave it all up after I got injured in such a way that could've lead to something much worse if it hadn't been 'discovered'.

how do I achieve this? are you disabled?

I'm considering marrying a rich alcoholic just so that I'll never have to get a job again. if only andrew yang and ubi had a chance then I could be a free man

Medication/diagnosis mix ups. Went in with minor problems, a year later my liver had almost collapsed, my nervous system had weird problems which made me like a menopausal epileptic, and a new doctor diagnosed my original problem and said none of the drugs they had given me had any hope of treating the genetic condition I actually have. Fun times. I would have had muscle and nervous problems anyway, but it sped up the timeline to give me the wrong drugs and diagnosis.

> samefagging
> larping
> being incredibly pretentious
did... did this guy just elevate "being a twat" into an artform?

I was a NEET until last week. Started finishing my high school grades so I can apply for uni. I have 300 k in my bank account and I'm also the beneficiary of a trust fund so I have a "salary" of 1300€ per month for the next 8 years. Think I will study literature since I'm pretty well set. Might also travel around here in Europe during the summers.

I can’t wait till your parents get the wall

my favourite author is Houellebecq

Being a NEET is one of prerequisites for being an aristocrat, that's for sure.

No coz neets can't get quality pussy

Is being useful cunt any better? I don't think so.

My grandfather managed to build a successful company and now I'm reaping the rewards. I'm investing my wealth right now so my future kids won't experience poverty. Stay mad commie.

in due time, you will truly reap the rewards of your investments, my friend. 20 years of fresh air and exercise in the countryside! your kids will even get to join you!

>Reaping the rewards from other people’s accomplishments

And you brag about this. Just end it

Acting as if you wouldn't do what he's doing in his position

Don't see how it's bragging when I just replied to OPs question. Just found it amusing how the commie is upset because I've got money.

i would, but i wouldn't use them for my own selfish, meaningless ends like a drone.

>doubt.jpg
Especially with how you're pissed off user has money. I don't think you'd suddenly be loose with yours if you begrudge him his.

i don't give a fuck about money. i don't like people who do. where is the inconsistency in this logic?

You seem pretty buttblasted to be fair, user, and you don't even know if user is lying about being from inherited wealth. It seems like you care a lot if you're saying shit like this

yeah, i do care a lot that people with resources just waste them on useless shit to make their mediocre lives more comfortable while there are people who don't even have a place to live. that doesn't mean "hurr, you must just really like the thing that you say you don't like!" thats reddit-tier argumentation.

I really doubt that in his position you would suddenly want to give away money. I mean, are you already doing things to help others, or are you trying to claim that lack of funds is your obstacle to giving? You seem to mostly just be being butthurt at people with money, which does nothing and usually means someone is miserly.

I guess that's a no on already being charitable.

Stay mad, miser. Kek.

If you weren't so retarded as to reply twice to the same one of my posts and instead put in the first reply to my initial post, you'd see nobody was samefagging, which should make you question your other two assumptions. But you're clearly an insecure person--besides seething so nervously you can't even properly format your reply--that I doubt you'll reflect meaningfully on your debased self.

>who pays for you to live?
My father

>Are you ashamed?
No. I'm going to kill myself anyway

>who hates their parents but yet have them pay for everything.
Accurate

I'm 18.
Diagnosed Bipolar last year.
Dropped out of school.

I don't feel shame, I am very grateful I can be NEET as I cannot work. I do my best to be very helpful to society and give back in what ways I can.

>who pays for you to live
dad
>Are you ashamed
yes

From the ages of 18 to 21 I didn't go to university and just stayed home all day reading books and taking walks. My parents were accepting because verbally I didn't sound like a retard so they must have thought I was a late bloomer going through a phase even though I was always terrible in school. By my 21st birthday it was clear their patience was running thin and I had to think of something. Getting a full time job or going to university seemed like death and I had nothing intrinsic to show for my efforts of the past few years. I didn't mind living at home, I decided to pursue something respectable that would justify the neetdom based on some archtype cliche. Started sculpting marble, no joke, actually not that difficult to get into these days. Parents thought they had a bernini (I'm medicore) and others stopped seeing my life as pathetic. I'm pretty lucky because my family are financially strong enough to buy my materials and take on a extended parasite in the name of "art". Bought myself some time but by 30 I need to be good enough to make a decent living out of it

honestly, this is extremely fucking based. kudos

that apu is so cute!

Of course that image was made by a Finn

>Also are there any NEETs here? What is your life like and what are your favorite books?
I wake up around 8am naturally. I have some bacon and eggs, maybe a cold beer if I feel like it. Do a quick tidy up and decide what I want to do today. Some days I sit and read, some days I walk an hour to the nearest wood and just wander around all day seeing what strange plants and wildlife I can spot, then when I get home I study all about it, if it's edible, if it's poisonous. Some days I just sit in my underwear watching anime until midnight. Around late afternoon I'll have a steak, salmon or some beef burgers on their own with spicy hot sauce to dip them in and a bowl of vegetables. Sometimes I have a cold beer with my dinner. In the evening I usually shitpost on Yea Forums until I feel tired.

My life teeters back and forth between "Who cares, what's the point, do what you like" and "I really feel strongly about what Kaczynski/Schopenhauer/Cioran/Zapffe said and should act on this in some way and do something with my life like they did". I have no desire for the company of people, women or any wish to partake in traditional society. As far as I'm concerned a life of quiet contemplation and inner turmoil is the best you can get out of life.

>As far as I'm concerned a life of quiet contemplation and inner turmoil is the best you can get out of life.
Amen

>the temporarily embarrassed philanthropist
jej, funniest kind of reddit commie

That's very nice, where do you get money from?

But what works would you bring forward with your freedom? If your only end is self-abasement, will it matter if you die today or in 60 years? Would anyone know the difference? Would you have even lived at all?

>Who pays for you?
My father
>Are you ashamed?
Sometimes

Just taking cares of my father is enough to get me filthy rich.

Neet literally only means not in school or working, you're applying a lot of different ideas to it. The word describes a very wide range of people, no matter the meaning attached to it as image board meme. Most are self-obsessed lazy retarded losers though. However the ones who aren't represents the highest peak of humanity.

>masturbating to mommy porn
Based. Give me some Recs before this thread gets deleted?

no way man. cut that shit out of your life for good.

by that logic was terry davis the highest peak of humanity
you realize there are must be a lot of people with his level of intelligence in the industry so how does he represent the peak of humanity

>Who pays you to live?
Is this how waggies think life works?

>who pays for you to live
Mom.

>Are you ashamed?
No, I'll pay her back once I become a published author...anytime now...I think.

Are you that envious?

>NEETs the aristocrats of the modern world
personally it's so defeating for me i feel like i've completely failed to actualize myself even though i have genuine hobbies and interests i never feel like doing them ever since neeting because i'm constantly depressed.

You need money to live user. Fucking retards these days

*hits pussy*
I cannot think of any lifestyle as degenerate and unhealthy as that of the incel neet. He firstly gets little to no Vitamin D which's effects are of the extreme importance upon the body, for one simple example it's effects upon/enforcing of the circadian rhythms such as sleep, secondly he eats an unhealthy diet made up of high sugars, preservatives, onions and an array of other willingly ingested poisons as presented by the adoration of the tendy. Thirdly he lives oft or at the very least relies heavily upon a person such as his mother. Unable to become his own man by the constant dependence and labouring of his mother which can only lead to the assuredly stunting of his own masculinity. Fourthly he feigns an ascetic lifestyle when really it is only the result of a sexual frustration, where in which chad at least freely admits to his own indulgence for what is unnatural than the loving of man and woman? And if this abstaining of desire is not truly met then it is released in the most depraved of ways in the most absurd of fetishes - a truly unhealthy desire. Fithly they lack any true physical attraction so there is some major biological inferiority there, but they were born as they are so I blame them not for this. After all there are redeeming features. Sixthly for all his time alone he reads little and lacks any serious interest in culture, and along with that a phenotypical makeup shewing also of a low intelligence. Sitting at home, playing vidya alone.

A truly unhealthy lifestyle!

maybe the idea is to become a test for people that influences them to see outside their jewish indoctrinated greed and race for money etc.
if you become a burden on people close to you they are forced to see other qualities in you than simply as someone who stayed in line with indoctrinated parameters.
maybe a neet like that also accepts the costly consequence of himself being on the road homeless one day.

this unironically

based this poster ironically

i've been neet all my twenties now. couldn't operate in school, couldn't operate in jobs, had a huge mental fallout sometime in my early twenties & now I'm not even sure I could handle washing pots.but generally I'm content with this life & you can't be fussy with any means of getting money these days "normal life" be damned just identify the most profitable position in the present.

fav books are,

brion gysin - the last museum
jean cocteau - les enfants terribles
joyce - portrait of an artist

Is it a money input and life output kind of thing? Or is it more like if money=true then life=true else life=false? Let me guess, you probably also think that money makes you free?

I'm NEET at the moment due to mental health issues, but I have a degree and I'm working on reintegrating into society. I'm not happy or proud of it but it is what it is.

To answer the question, NEETs are nothing like aristocrats. Their lives were dedicated to socialising in the highest levels of society and advancing the interests of their family/dynasty. How does that compare to a shut-in, playing games all day who speaks to no one but their parents, if even that? Not to mention the luxurious lives of the wealthy compared to the financially struggling NEET. I know some people will be like "I'm a NEET with a trust fund and huge circle of friends!" but that's an enormous cope, it's obvious to anyone that 99% of NEETs have a shit existence because it's unnatural and unhealthy to not take part in society, and you need an income to afford nice things, for which you need a job.

You sound like a base peasant.

>how do you live

My savings.

>are you ashamed

Hell no. I'd be ashamed if I were needlessly pissing away my youth in service to another man. I'd rather limit my expenses and live the leisurely life now. You can always wageslave when you're older.

>parents

I owe them great gratitude for allowing me to live with them nearly rent-free while I worked and saved. I don't live with them anymore though.

>implying the highest peaks of humanity weren't self-obsessed lazy retarded losers

You described the ubermensch. They don't give a damn how society regards them.

>needing nice things

"If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires." - Epicurus

seethingv cuckservative. I'm sorry that Israel isn't able to get that money

>it's unnatural and unhealthy to not take part in society,

Explain.

Not even "nice things", just "the necessities of survival". Unless you get welfare or someone else pays for you, you need to make money for food and shelter.

I doubt you really need an explanation. You know that you're a social creature like every other human, and unless you're a massive autist you will eventually suffer mental ill effects if you are cut off from everyone else. It might be tolerable in your 20s but nobody can maintain longterm neetdom and stay healthy and satisfied. You need a sense of accomplishment to function in life too, even if it's just in very minor ways or you'll be worn down. Neetdom quickly stagnates.

>Help me understand NEETs;
ok
>who pays for you to live?
I pay my parents rent and they leave me alone for the most part.

>Are you ashamed? In my head I can only imagine a NEET to be the kind of person who hates their parents but yet have them pay for everything, most likely out of guilt
No
I dislike people on a fundamental level, the more I am alone the better my quality of life.
If I could hook my brain up to a simulation where I could be completely alone without human contact I would.
I simply dislike human contact that much.
It pains me that I'm slowly being forced to get a job because it wont matter what I do, if I'm forced to interact with another person I'll dislike it.

>Also are there any NEETs here? What is your life like and what are your favorite books?
Used to be a NEET with some minor studies on the side for web dev (not that I wanted to do web dev but it was the only way I could stay a NEET at home).
I like scifi and fantasy stuff the most.

NEETs do have a point. It's a crime to spend 75% of your waking life working only for the government to steal 30% of your earnings.
