This is the most "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" post I've read on /pol/ all week. I know people are eager to blame all their problems on their parents instead of taking any personal responsibility, but most of these negative influences are more likely to come from the internet or reality itself.
>ridiculed ambition, and instilled a baseline assumption that the world was too hard, too cruel, and not worth engaging with.
The world does this. Ambition doesn't mean a damn thing in our current economic climate, no one can start a business that can compete with the existing giants. Even if you worked hard and kissed ass for promotions, you'll always be under a Jew earning 10x as much for 0x of the effort. Meanwhile twitch streamers, onlyfans whores, crypto/stock gamblers etc become millionaires overnight through some stroke of luck and retire in their 20s.

Most non-NEETs are clueless of all these things, which is why the continue going through the motions getting a full-time job, getting married, having kids, just because that's what their parents did and that's what they think is normal. But if you keep up with them, you'll see that the majority of them end up miserable anyways. The real problem with NEETs is that they know too much. They drop out of society because they KNOW it's not worth it.
