I recently finished high school and I've been having so much fun! I'm worried I'll have to go to college soon and get my freedom stripped from me again. Maybe even get a j*b in the future. I really just want to do whatever I enjoy instead of working for a porky.
Personally, I'm OK with going to college, because I believe it might help me make new friends (and it's also a temporary facade to convince my family I'm definitely "getting something done with my life") but I absolutely don't want to get a j*b.
How can I achieve the NEET life?

It can be two things.

>I wanna become a rentier

It’s amazing how paradoxical Leftypol is with their motives

“Kill all landlords and bourgeois except me”

>>1958
Such as…?
Would you be willing to work for eight hours a day, five days a week under communism?

Become trans and get a sugar daddy

Too debilitated by PTSD to finish my law degree at a good university. Interned in prestige media and got no contacts from it because it was essentially a 12 week paper pusher treadmill. Feel hopeless. I love writing and literature so I want to wage enough to support that. But I have generally no support network so I’m just rawdogging nepo faggotry and I am exhausted and despondent. Any suggestions on what to do.

it's clearly the consumer that's the problem. The management are aghast at how the public treats their workers. How could you expect somebody to work for free? Servers need tips to survive, not tipping them at least 100% is the financial equivalent of murder. It should come with jail time, because at least with real murder the victim doesn't suffer for a long time. Anybody tipping less than 120% is a monster.

If you think in term of "consumers" and not in term of "B2B" (business to business) you are a peasant.

Im working as a low voltage electrician. I hate working at a datacenter knowing im directly contributing to the degradation of the earth and the continued usage of AI. There isnt any other job available at a different site AFAIK. is the future of low voltage just datacenter bullshit?

i imagine all sorts of facilities need electricity too, i'm sure something will come your way that is not datacenter related.

fry all the servers and use some kind of plausible deniability technique to make it look like an accident

The datacenter bubble will pop soon, but yeah for now the electrician industry is kinda cooked.

They want to make sure you're not a transhumanist or something 🙄

I think i got the job and the petite bourgesisie millennials were nice to me. Although i feel slightly bad because its a major place for beer but at least as a line cook i can say they are at least trying to move away from just feeding alcohol addictions.

>>1918
It was a really short interview and they just asked if I could work and previous experiance, wasnt that bad

ive been applying to jobs everyday for 2 months and have heard nothing but silence and the occasional "we selected another candidate" email

Executives do not primarily make their money from wages they make it from stock; ownership shares in the company. Most execs are petit boug or boug.

Politicians make most of their money from bribes and insider trading.

Managers and cops are workers but they're also class traitors.

>>1897
Name a single proletarian revolution, you can’t because they literally all happened in semi feudal semi colonial countries

>>1897
>executives
usually also get stock ownership and other fringe benefits.
>managers
most of them, yes. "manager" sounds bad, but illustratively: a supermarket "manager" in britain makes very little more than the workers they manage.
>cops
yes
>politicians
no, but they're a very special case: as well as the ability to sell access they wind up with a range of fringe benefits and are usually subsidized to hire staff of their own. on top of this, their conditions of employment are unusual: basically impossible to fire for 3-5 years, then completely random whether they keep their job or not, then another 3-5 years of total security if they do.

if you want to talk shared interests and shared conditions of life your citation of factory workers is inapt in most developed countries: they are now fairly rare figures who often earn much more than the average prole. if you're a factory worker in britain today, odds are you're getting £60k+/yr to put together high-performance jet engines or ejector seats for Israeli F-35s, not £24k/yr to screw together dinky toys.

>>1878
Anyone who would starve and go homeless if they stopped selling their labor (barring the aid of charity or government).

>>1878
The prole has his labor-power reduced to a commodity. It's not about empiricism. It's about how the subsistence of the prole is bought and sold on the market.

What is the coziest job? I love the idea of being a fisherman. Can you imagine being a Scandinavian fisherman? Must be awesome.

I fantasize a lot about being a hard-bodied young man sailing across the world, exploring all of Europe, all the while serving my nation by being the best Fisherman in all the land. Hopefully I will reincarnate into something like that. Unfortunately I'm a lazy-eyed, glasses-wearing, wimpy little freak.

I do this except the money isn't huge, just comfy, and I don't make the world a better place. However, the puzzles are fun and I agree it's the coziest job if you have the right personality to stare at a screen all day.

>>1530
Sounds awesome lol

>>1450
I want to be a wolf. no work no commute just awoo

guess it depends on your own personal preference. Personally, id love to be something like nature park maintenance. Fixing trails and keeping a natural space clean while being outside most of the time appeals to me. But other people would find it misrable im sure.

>>1837
Me too. Closest I can get to that is being a Therian Otherkin… but it's not quite the same u_u

Do any of you work some kind of sinecure?

What is your job description and what do you actually do? Does it pay the bills? Do you take the time to pursue some hobbies or do you mostly just chill?

Unarmed night shift "security" or "toll troll" for only serving to open a barrier on a toll booth, I do nothing besides radio in that everything is normal, if its not normal its not my problem its the patrol's problem (patrols are cars of armed security that come when an alarm triggers), I shitpost and eat for a living.
>does it pay the bills
The pay isn't good but its possible to save up by having minimal expenses.
>Do you take the time to pursue some hobbies or do you mostly just chill?
Both yes.
>are you not defending private property
A logistics hub storage of alcohol and pills / pharmaceuticals? From lumpen mafia looking to get drunk and high on DXM? If they come and need something I will buy it for them out of my paycheck.

>>1881
> pills / pharmaceuticals
And from the inventory on the site I've checked most of it is food supplements, cosmetics and other trivial stuff.


>>1882
Then they have to be really retarded to break through metal shutters over such things.

>>1855
Me. Ive been working one for 8 years now. I work only about 10% of the hours I get paid for. However it was all luck and I really mean it, I got very lucky, plus I might be getting fired soon. If you want you can try to replicate what I did but it wont work likely. I joined a boomer owned company, worked for a few months, carved out a tech position for myself, really wowed the ceo/owner, sucked up to him a lot, and told him I was going remote due to a family emergency (lied). He caved and I just never went back.

As for time, I feel guilty because I waste too much of it, but I did do a shit ton of different hobbies to the point where I feel like theres not much left Id like to try. The fear of getting fired and being homeless keeps me from enjoying it all fully as I know I prob wont luck out like that again.

you will just be out of a job and unable to get a new one or pay for these things. Itl go little by little though so when it happens to you god forbid, maybe you have peak job security, itl just be the same old tale of someone losing their job and needing to put their nose to the grindstone if they want out of the mess. Except one day there will also be no "way out of this mess" on an individual level. By the time there is an issue to our ability to get food or power we will already have long dwindled and moved on this isnt a collapse in my opinion where any of these things will be directly "taken away" from you. Itl be like the sly turned red and the moon exploded and yet there really isnt anything we can do about that so we all just go about our lives for as long as possible trying to ignore it.

Maybe better than a collapse id call it a cascade or something because we won't be in "post capitalism" itl just fall from the sky above into our lap. If you still have power and food and your work still has power and food you probably will go about your days same as always, like you are doing now! If you have friends even better. Thee elite liquidate asset owning middle class via insider trading or really just the banal fact that capital and the stocks ups and downs orbit the ultra wealthy at an increasing rate that a middling financial advisor can not keep up with or guarantee any longer that "the stock markets always up long term" even if it is. It still is but is increasingly not a valid promise of security regarding the middle classes few hundred thousands. They will likely see the writing on the wall and panic at the writing on the wall before anyone, hate to say it. Because yeah this is no traditional collapse, and to be frank if you are OP I still stand by you in that its not a collapse that has anything to do with partisian politics or peoples views on sex and its not because of our personal ideological disagreements and while I think fascism and racism are serious problems the crying and screaming that this era of capitalism we are in is "fascist" is a disservice to just how unique capitalism is. We easily could have had someone like mamdani run for president and get elected and while that would make me very happy and for me housing insecurity is a real likelihood in the distant future, capitalism would mold and shift to be forward facing "socialist capitalism" instead of forward facing "fascist capitalism".
