This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Saw a reel (TikTok? Shortform video?) about a Guy that was larping as a NEET in a tropical country.

And one comment really summed up my thoughts: go back home and get a job lmao.

Why do these people celebrate being leeches to society and seemingly aren't self-aware?

They get our scientists and engineers meanwhile we get this.

They're not sending us their best folks

Why do these people celebrate being leeches to society and seemingly aren’t self-aware?

Because a person's goal in a capitalist system is to do nothing while getting everything. To ascend from the exploited to the exploiter. It's wrapped in rosy language such as "passive income", but that's what it is. If a person can be a neet outside their parents' basement (which seems to be the case in what you describe), one must ask where's the money coming from

I have this feeling that I've had conversations that had friction and I couldn't tell why because I've internalized this notion. Ive also been provocative in saying that there's no such thing as rewards for hard work and doing good for society is entirely separate from making enough. Or popping off with saying NEET would be the highest aspiration short of destroying the system and getting justice for the exploitation.
