Perhaps not so heroically as the book by the same title, but more of an every day styling of John Galt. This incorporates, but is not limited to the "NEET" movement, people are just dropping back or dropping out. Going to ground.
>Workers are voting with their feet, and that's difficult to control. When values and expectations change, everything else eventually changes, too.
>What happens when the workforce no longer wants to work? We're about to find out. As with all cultural sea changes, macro statistics don't tell the full story. The sea change is better illuminated by anecdotal evidence: workers constantly quitting to take better jobs; zero loyalty to corporate employers; workers cutting hours from full-time to part-time; workers going out for lunch and never coming back; workers giving up on selling sugar-water for the rest of their lives (echoing Steve Jobs' famous challenge to John Scully: "Do you want to sell sugared water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with me and change the world?") and giving up on owning an insanely over-valued house.
Teaches unifags the biggest lesson of their life, don’t be smug before you’ve made it, enjoy being office lackeys you cunts

it's not even so much that people don't 'want to work'. it's just that the value proposition is so fucking skewed and ridiculous now that you'd have to be a literal 100% shabbos good goy virtual fucking slave to just slave away in the system always hoping that your big break is next, we all know the break never comes. even average shabbos good goy workers who do, do it are now finding themselves unable to pay for basic shit like a home of their own, decent car, or pay off their outrageous student loans. meanwhile the rich are so out of touch that it's mind boggling and yet the rich still control the levers of society and will not allow the trickle down in both wealth and lifestyle, etc. to appease the poor and down trodden. we are fast approaching another french revolution type deal and the aristocrats are just as out of touch and unaware
Luke Smith
Yeah, that's why I think this goes beyond the "NEET" meme - there's certain conclusions that people are arriving at that makes them question or reevaluate everything in their lives.
Quality thread on a topic I’ve been noticing and thinking about a lot. The coof lockdown changed shit in major ways that people are only beginning to see. People have really stopped caring, that’s one thing I’ve noticed. It hard to have ambition in clownworld. Not only is everything stacked against you, but what’s the point of aspiring to greatness in a ridiculous and pathetic world where victimhood and degeneracy are celebrated and merit punished
Justin Mitchell
yeah it's fucked notice this thread a real thread, will get almost no traction though. fucking bots running wild and anything that could potentially unite people from all over their fake spectrum realizing that once again gets drowned out. gotta keep people distracted and at each others throats when if you are in the 99% we are all way more alike than the 1% who lords over us.
Zachary Parker
On one hand, I could see this as an "intended" result that folds into the Great Reset agenda; but the more optimistic side of me hopes that this is a start of quiet revolution, a turning point in history where people start choosing to live more wholesomely. So, either a world wide depression economy puts the global population under the heel of technocrats; or people globally wake up and start living more meaningful lives.
>we are fast approaching another french revolution type deal and the aristocrats are just as out of touch and unaware This. It’s almost surreal how out of touch the current elite are, and how deeply determined they are to dig their own graves.

>notice this thread a real thread, will get almost no traction though. fucking bots running wild and anything that could potentially unite people Everything they do is about demoralization, division, and isolation of people into atomic nobodies who think no one agrees with them
Sebastian Wright
Tangential, but I think it's relevant. TPTB keep people in line through violence, at least that's the current paradigm. Whether "capitalist" or "communist", both are reliant of the apparatus of the nation-state and it's monopoly of violence. If enough people are turning their backs on the system itself, the lower the returns are on violent enforcement.
It's that pasta/pic about how completely impossibly fucked the US government would be if they tried to stage open war against the citizenry. It would cost too much and be too dispersed and hard to monitor for them to ever stand a chance.
People are tired of being controlled for no benefit to themselves. Tired of being bled dry. Whatever is coming, I suspect it will bring with it the dissolution of the entire concept of the nation-state as the primary apparatus for social organization for future generations.

>Everything they do is about demoralization, division, and isolation And that's what gives me pause about being too optimistic. I think people are reacting naturally to getting beat over their heads for so long that this "trend' seems entirely predictable. The whole globohomo movement involves pushing the masses toward a desired outcome. But, such is the nature of traps. Emancipation or manipulation?
I like that people are finally "fighting back" in a sense, but I don't get my hopes up. Nothing will ever truly change until we eradicate psychopathy from the genepool.
Jackson Butler
Unfortunately the french revolution ruined France forever, and the jews have played this game before. We're basically walking into a Soviet style takeover, moving from a hands-off form of tyranny (you can do whatever you want as long as you don't threaten the system) to a much more overt form (you will fervently believe the party line or we'll shoot you).
Henry Rodriguez
There has been no organic attempt at overthrow that was successful, it’s a game like you said.
Anthony Phillips
I personally disagree, we already saw the nation-state concept largely dismantled following the cold war, what we've seen since then is competing economic zones, and the most popular alternatives to the current global system increasingly come from nationalists and populists. I'm thinking that we end up in something closer to the "great game" multipolar world politics, and those that embraced nationalist rhetoric earlier will be ahead of the curve. Another way you might think of the current economic and political system is that it's a disease that needs to be recovered from, those nations that are already starting treatment, Hungary, Poland, Russia, maybe Turkey, are going to have more freedom to act once we're all on the other side of it.
Sebastian Cooper
What is an inhuman technocracy for $500, Alex? These people have had their futures taken away because they are not included in the future.
Aaron Williams
>opposing opinions come from nationalists and populists I don't think those qualify as truly opposing opinions. Just different shades of the same turd.
