According to data from this recent Bloomberg article, ~20% of American men aged 25-34 (dubbed “prime age men”) live at home, while ~13% are unemployed NEETs. Men without a bachelor’s degree are twice as likely to live at home and be NEETs than those with degrees.
The article claimed that advances in video gaming technology are a causal factor in these high rates of NEETdom, and suggested that many prime age NEETs may suffer from “serious health conditions,” since half of them are on pain medication.
Here’s what I think is going on:
Men aged 25-to-34 are the young(er) millennials (24 is the zoomer cut-off). They’re basically the last generation that’s old enough to lucidly remember what it’s like to live in a functional society. The comparatively peaceful, idyllic, homogeneous country that they grew up in no longer exists. All that remains is a rancid, soulless, bland, techno-dystopia, that openly discriminates against them, and is increasingly controlled and populated by hostile foreign people. After concluding that this so-called “society” isn’t worth contributing to, they’ve retreated into the realm of escapist fantasy and are loafing around at home, gaming and taking drugs all day. This is what total demoralization looks like and it’s only going to get worse.

It definitely signals a change but this is perhaps a white pill. Let’s face it, people only moved out because they wanted to do shit and didn’t want anyone to know. It was fueled by individual deviants and finance being able to maximise profits from renting. Nearly 80% of the known world lives with their parents and this only seems to be a western (Anglo) phenomenon. The far bigger problem is what you mentioned, being stuck at home with no development, no opportunity and no desire. Games, Drugs and constant Media pings are sapping your life.
Hot Take: I actually don’t blame women for acting like they do. They’ve been writing about it since the dawn of time. The only real change I’ve noticed lies with Men and I actually blame them for a lot of societies troubles.

In these circles it’s a hot take but in general, it is not. Since men are already blamed for pretty much anything that goes wrong with society and women are free from criticism. The fact that many young men are simply unable to have a functional relationship/marriage due to women’s absurd standards is a major cause for them dropping out of society. Since sex and supporting a family are the main or even sole reasons for why most men participated in society in the first place.

Even though I endeaver to avoid young people, because they are like aliens from another planet to me, I really feel sorry for you young folk…especially young Western men.
What do you have to chose from: fat, pasty, unhealthy, ugly young women, dressed in black, covered with ugly tattoos, purple hair and body modifications; screeching about how victimized they are even though they are the most privileged humans ever to live on planet earth. The soybois are just as disgusting, but less in one’s face and easier to avoid.
The saddest thing to see are the middle-aged women who have jumped on this bandwagon. Social media has driven this horrible trend. There have always been insecure people with zero self-confidence…but with social media, these pitiful people can prop up their anemic self-esteem with “likes” while making total fools of themselves. Come to think about it…boomer men do this too…sans the blue/pink/green hair. These silly people feel they are “empowering” themselves, when they are only empowering the NWO. One can opt-out of pop-culture/media mind-control…but it takes a kind of self-discipline that I think is extremely rare.
It feels like nightmare which one can’t awaken from. Whenever I can escape to another country for a while, it feels like a temporary pass out of hell. I’ve lived long enough to see what has been lost.

Well the one thing to remember is that social media naturally augments the crazies. People find them entertaining and therefore they get lots of attention. Most people are still fairly normal at least by comparison.

Even down here in the 3rd world decadence is all over, from an earlier already advanced stage to a deeper, even more hopeless one – all in a short lifetime of observation. Couple that with a culture that tacitly encourages cunning, petty criminality (and ideological glorification of thugs/anti-police hysteria from the left) and dysfunction becomes a permanent feature of life.
If the trans-human aspects go through, we’ll start seeing spikes in suicide rates in the coming decades. Young people today are unrecognizable – they’re either full-on system militants or complete fuck-ups, nihilistic slaves. And the more they try to adapt to an increasingly insufferable existence, the worse they’ll get.
Dark days ahead – avoid blackpills though, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.

If I were a young man in the world as it is now, one look at these vile, repulsive creatures who pass as female, would put me off of women for good. I simply can’t understand what (if anything) is going on in their heads.
I was a teenager from 1973-1980. I would have sooner jumped off a bridge than left my home without being nicely dressed, with make-up and my waist-length hair clean and brushed. To my elderly brain, it looks like young people are trying to look ugly.

Decades of demoralization/androgyny propaganda destroyed the meaning in anything. Cultural Marxism was literally built on that: Horkheimer/Adorno wrote about hollowing every institution/cultural manifestation after infiltrating it, annihilating the West’s will to live once and for all (to make way for the coming scientific tyranny). They had full support from the global dynasties/political leaders at the time.
“No poetry after Auschwitz” was freak Adorno’s motto.
These youngsters are just automatons – they don’t really know what they’re doing (they never had a chance really). They see their parents as bigots/losers, narcissistically ignore the past (the non-sanitized parts) and look for meaning in the State – the State tells them to self-mutilate/sterilize for LGBT/Mother Earth etc. Sheep to the slaughter.

I graduated high school in 1982 and I concur: people deliberately worship the ugly and misshapen. Until the 1990s nobody wore “active wear” aka gym clothes unless they were at the gym or too fat to find regular clothes that fit.

Fun fact: “chronic pain” (which is what most pain medication is prescribed for) is in many cases neurologically identical to depression. Young white men aren’t in pain, they’re depressed because of clown world and are being drugged by malicious doctors.

Almsot all pain is caused by infection by living organisms in your body as the root etiology that then set off a chain reaction of Quinolinic acid and amonia and other chemicals that causes severe depression. QUIN is released by immune system to kill off infections and is a serious excitotoxin that causes neurological damage to save your brain from being taken over by foreign organisms. (hence, double edged sword)
Now look up suicide patient studies and QUIN. Nearly every suicide patient has extremely high levels of QUINOLINIC acid in their brains, same goes for those with brain infections and to a lesser extent infections not of the brain.
Infections are teh problem as well as bioweapons such as Borreliosis and Q-feer and Bart, etc.

I’m ashamed to say that I’m one of those “NEETs”. I’m socially awkward because of being overweight and the mental trauma I suffered throughout my over 20 years of shitty existence. I’m someone you’d call “based and redpilled” but if I were to choose I’d rather be a functional normie than what I currently am. What use is all the knowledge that you know if you’re forever stuck in your home?

Be thankful you are not a normie. I dropped out of society 30 years ago (without actually going to live in a cave or on a desert island). The Plandemic has merely been a blip on my radar screen. The only change is that once a week I put on a silly bandana for ten minutes to buy groceries. Nothing else in my life has changed. I even went on a two month road trip during the highth of the Plandemic. In the next couple of years, the normies (before they shuffle off the mortal coil due to vaccine suicide) will continue to self-destruct from fear porn. You ask: what good is knowledge? It puts you way ahead of the normies, because you know what is coming. It makes you better able to survive. Because you have nothing to lose, you won’t become mired in grief.
My only advice is to get as healthy as you can with diet and exercise. Survivors will have to give up conventional medicine at some point. I have never used conventional medicine, so that has never been a concern for me. Good luck…if you have faith and use your critical thinking skills…you have a chance to make it through what is coming. Normies are as good as dead right now.

Neruodegenerative problems, either caused by trauma or tropical diseases and infections are also a big issue that nobody wants to talk about, doctors simply misdiagnose people and let them slowly waste away.

Yes, I did. I worked and then caught something and the medical establishment said hey why don’t we profit off of his suffering and then throw him to the curb when we’re done. That’s what they did to I and millions of others everyday and continue to do it. Now with COVID and seeing the theater to cheat the people is jsut so blatent yet the wine aunts don’t care and the younger generations are just on instagram thinking about the new iphone or getting a job in medicine to work for the sick industry that makes people sick.
