>>936635358 (OP)The N.E.E.T Pledge
1. I believe that I have won the greatest lottery of all time. I am alive. I walk the Earth. I live in America. Above all things, I am grateful (that I don't have to work)
2. I believe that i am entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (but also free education, free healthcare, a universal basic income, and other social programs that benefit the country, rather than lower taxes for snake oil salesmen and oligarchs). The "pursuit of happiness" should also come with a relatively high success rate.
3. I believe there is no such thing as a "rewarding job". I believe that all jobs are busy work that exist to enrich the coffers of those who are at the top, and it's up to me to only tolerate them insofar as I must, and only as long as they are meeting my expectations. The moment I no longer need them, I will shed them like water off a duck's back.
4. I "follow my passion" and ignore slave drivers. I believe that if you're not following your passion, then you're wasting time, or donating it to someone else's pet projects.
5. I deplore debt, and do all I can to avoid it. I would rather live in affordable housing and eat ramen than pay landowners for the privilege of living in their run down hovels (living in a tent is untenable and unrealistic).
6. I believe that my safety is the responsibility of the state. If they want to shift that responsibility onto me, then it should come with a number of granted powers that, arguably, they would not like an individual to have, because I would need them to be able to ensure said safety.
7. I believe that there is no point in making an effort to distinguish myself at work, because there is no incentive for doing so. Hard work is only rewarded with more work.
