This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The problem with NEET-ism is you eventually run out of your parent's money.

That's where the goverment suppoorted neet's come into the picture.

I know some neet's who get more money from goverment than some people working 60 hour jobs.

I don't feel like someone relying on government helps would think some corporate fascist who generally wants to reduce government spendings represents their interest, but then again I don't think there is a logical framework in which we won't conclude that OP is at least a little bit dumb. But what makes me favour the parents supported hypothesis is the "never paid for anything " part.

I am from a very poor place in WV where most people are on assistance because there are no jobs.

Trump flags everywhere. Cars driving down the road with no tags or insurance, but Trump stickers all over.

I don’t get it. Well, actually I do.

Religion. The preacher says the gay is bad. Preacher says the trans is bad. Democrats want to extend basic rights to those people and preacher says god don’t like that.

There's also the idea that they've earned their government money. I once dealt with someone like that. Her ptsd disability money was earned unlike everyone else who didn't suffer for it in her eyes. Higher taxes meant her victims (she was emotionally abusive af) couldn't spend as much on her and higher government spending meant that the government couldn't spend as much on her.

These people don't think that their money will go away.

Anywhere from 500 euro up to 1.5k euro ( which is higher than average wage here ).
