What’s causing zoomers to give up on life and just stay in their rooms playing video games and watching anime their entire lives? They won’t work, don’t care to get their own play, don’t want girlfriends or friends. I mean it’s like they don’t want to live.

>be me
>have autism
>get disability 1290 a month and work part time occasionally before my autism flares up and I piss everyone off and get fired or laid off and get food stamps and public housing
>feel bad about how poor I am
>ask ChatGPT how well I am doing compared to the average American
>turns out I am better off than 83 percent of Americans and the only ones who are higher than me are specialized jobs in the trades and usually work 12 hour days
Can someone explain to me why the average American is still working? I live like shit and can’t do anything despite having plenty of free time I can’t imagine how those worse off than me are even surviving at the point.

What’s causing the zoomer neet epidemic? Most of my coworkers have sons or daughters who don’t leave the house, done have their license, and have no desire to do anything. What caused this to happen?

There’s a reason so many young men are dropping out and becoming NEETs—and it starts with the boomer generation. They inherited a world of cheap houses, stable jobs, tight-knit communities, and a functioning dating market. They squandered all of it.

Housing: Boomers turned homeownership into an impossible dream. Through decades of NIMBYism, artificial scarcity, and speculative real estate bubbles, they ensured that buying a house is now out of reach for most young people. Renting is no better—sky-high prices for decaying apartments, all so boomers’ property values keep going up.

Work: Stable, meaningful work has been gutted. Boomers outsourced manufacturing, crushed unions, pushed for mass immigration, and flooded the labor market with cheap workers. Now, the only jobs left are low-wage service work or precarious gig economy scraps, with no security and zero future.

Women and Family: The sexual revolution, no-fault divorce, and endless “liberation” rhetoric stripped all meaning from relationships. Marriage rates are collapsing, birth rates are at record lows, and women (and men) are encouraged to see relationships as disposable. The result? The dating market is a wasteland, and starting a family looks like a losing proposition.

Public Spaces and Culture: Boomers let public infrastructure rot while funding their own retirements. Parks, libraries, town centers, and malls are dead or overrun. There’s nowhere worth going. Even culture itself is commodified, hollow, or hostile to young men.

So what’s left? For many, nothing. The only rational response is to stay inside, play games, watch anime, and avoid a society that offers them nothing but debt, loneliness, and humiliation. NEETdom isn’t laziness; it’s a rational response to a world boomers wrecked for their own gain.

If you want to blame someone for the NEET epidemic, look at the generation that inherited everything and left nothing behind.

>be my mom
>stop me from going outside, having friends, or doing anything because she is scared I’ll get hurt and/or raped by pedophiles
>pussy wiped dad lets her
>continues my entire life
>parents are surprised when I turn 30 and failed to launch and have no interest in anything in the outside world and are coming to realization that they are going to have to support a manchild their entire life because they wouldn’t let them grow up
>of course blame each other and me for not “rebelling like the other kids do”
Seriously what did they think would happen? That is just raise myself in my room alone? They wouldn’t even let me have TV so I just stared at walls.
