about islamists UIGURS, . . . FRIEND, you are certainly wrong. AND YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT THE RELIGION OF MUSLIMS IS CALLED "is slam" (or Islam) AND THEREFORE THE MUSLIMS ARE "ISLAMISTS". YOU MENTIONED THE UIGURS (islamists) BUT YOU FAIL TO MENTION THAT FROM ONE DESERT TRIBES NATION OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA, The ISLAMISTS have invaded more than 50 other nations of Atheists, Jews and Christians, (of Atheo-Judeo-Christian culture) & Buddhists & Hindus. It is right to have them renamed BACK to Atheist culture, Jewish and Christian and Buddhist and Hinduism culture and show that Islam of HaSaataan of the Quran , Lucifer "Lah" now called "Allah" "TheDeceiver" as Allah calls himself in his Quran with one of the titles, and means HaSaataan from biblical language, IS NOT WEALCOME IN NON-MUSLIM LANDS, AND SUCH islamic-satanic invasions are not welcome on lands that did not belong to them before Islam's 1400 years ago when Islam started invasion of well defined with frontiers nations that Atheo-Judeo-Christian nations and Buddhist and Hindu nations have created. Therefore Islam had no rights to invade. All nations should do what China does against the "is slam" from HaSaataan'a-Lah (meaning from TheDeceiver-Lucifer). Besides Allah said himself in his Quran that he is "TheDeceiver". All nations should rename and change any islamist names of anything to stop the islamist satanist invasion against all non-muslim nations against which the Quran speaks when is interpreted honestly and not using "Tackia" (Deceit) as Muslims use it so they could be successful to defend their islamism-satanism that they deny being from Satan when Allah has for himself in his Quran of HaSaataan (of TheDeceiver), Satan's titles. Watch the videos of Christian Prince and of Sam Shamoun to understand the islamism-satanism of the islamists-satanists that use as undercover titles "muslims". Even Islamists Uigurs who tried to impose "is slam" from HaSaataan, even in China, are very dangerous, and always islamists from all islamic nations are involved in terrorism, and always more often than any other nation (even more often than Russia) starts wars and when it doesn't they do invasions through immigration to impose Islam in more Atheo-Judeo-Christian countries . Such invasions must be stopped, otherwise the entire earth will become a "middle east war among islamists as they have had since Muham'mad years late 600-ds until 1890-ties when non-muslim countries have become stronger through The Eternal's inspired technology, and muslim countries have become weaker, but still they fought against each other killing each other even as weak as they were. The point is that even if the entire earth were to become like a "middle east islamist",. . . peace will never happen and wars will always be fought against each others to rob and steal the lands of others muslims, and kidnap girls and women from other muslims (when could not find from Atheo-Judeo-Christian culture people), they do it from among themselves, as they kept doing in many islamic countries between themselves committing crimes more often and worse than in Atheo-Judeo-Christian countries are committed. The entire world is tired and sick to hear about muslims portrayed as victims. First of all, islamists have no place outside the Arabian peninsula. They should all be sent to Mecca to do whatever they want there and no where else.

Thank you K for reminding us of the Uighurs plight in East Turkistan (not "Xinjiang which means new frontier - as if it required being civilized). Sadly the media can only concentrate on subjects for so long. Pro China (true patriots who wish to see a better country) anti CCP channels do a good job remembering, but few others do. The CCP are masters of deception with language. What might have been called "spells" in the middle ages, are really the clever use of accepted terminology like "whole process democracy" or "global south" to fool people and manipulate them.

A corporation's purpose in a free market economy is to make as large a profit as possible. In doing so it hires people to do the work required and compensates them as little as possible for the essential work they do to make the corporation profitable. The wages the corporation pays are set by free and open competition in the labor market. The corporation's management is keenly aware that in order to keep their best and most productive employees from leaving and going to work at competing firms, it must offer better pay and benefits than their competitors can or choose to. In a free market economy, the NEET workers who only seek to educate and train themselves to the minimum extent required to obtain low skilled work that pays them just enough to supply their basic human needs: shelter; food and water: personal transportation; and obtaining a sexual and emotionally satisfying partner. The problem for this NEET group is that employers do not want employees without skills, and who are only willing to do as little as possible to help the business succeed. NEET people are the last hired and the first fired. Their intellectual slothfulness becomes a drag on national economic prosperity, and when the "NEETers" are chronically unemployed, as they inevitably become, and are forced by necessity to rely on the government's "social safety net" to feed, clothe, and shelter them, they become a perennial economic burden on their fellow citizens. It's all explained by Abraham Maslow and basic free market economics.

Economy created lot of by passes in flow of money.which go to no educated and no working who connect to those bypasses and not worry thet they will will starve to death.

There are millions of workers in the world who's wages and conditions have been driven down to subsistance level and their employers want them to work high pressure jobs for 80 hours a week... It is no wonder that young people looking at society would have ZERO incentive to enter into such a low pay hig workload environment and would prefer to seek out minimum paying jobs where they work part time and adopt a minimalist lifestyle as long as they have enough food to eat and cloths to wear they can have a life free of the stress and exhaustion of a job that does not pay much more and ends up taking ones life away from them...

American companies producing with childlabor, only a short while ago, in Asia. Easy enough to dismiss notions from such cultures (China is much older and like the US, has exceptionalism at its core). We had brutal stuff around our time of industrialisation (and after). China moves faster - a lot. And it hasn't funded all kinds of wars in the process of obtaining mineral/phossil wealth from Africa. With Russia I suppose we help too in driving them together. The club of 'misfits'. Opec and Brics aren't that different. All way more interesting/impacting than a relatively small group of muslims in an atheist country.

I was born in Romania and still live here, I hated everything remotely related to socialism until I got to understand that all political and economical systems can do harm when they are taken to extremes. I am a social democrat now but there's no real social democrat party to vote for, we have 2 large parties that are just populist in nature. Welcome to the tragic effects of plutocracy my friend, people get discouraged when they see the game is rigged and that you will never earn enough to actually enjoy life as an employee, you get to choose between slaving your whole life and having the money to go on a trip once a year, have a decent house and car and melt away in the stress of your work or just quit the system and embrace a frugal yet rewarding life. You'll get time to have real friends, get to enjoy nature, make love, get enough physical exercise so you have a healthy brain, etc. PS: you were so god damn involved in your professional life that you got delusional about how Russia is conducting itself, the world kept living while you were trying to put more money in the bank. Yet now you're at your best when it comes to social connections, friends, REAL relationships, now you actually feel like you're alive.

Here's my Romanian perspective: Socialism is still bad. They say you need socialism to help the poor and reduce inequality. But even if you're poor you get taxed like 40-45% (effective tax rate on salary). There is no meaningful deduction for rent, food or medicine. To get to the point of a frugal lifestyle, you still need to work at least some years and invest in stocks. You can't live on nothing. But good luck investing much when you're already taxed at 40-45%, you really need to cut non-essentials from your life, give up cars for once.

You didn't mention the corruption in Romania.

In some countries, like China and Japan, people need to work really hard without any prospect to get higher up. So instead of trying to get up the ladder, they just do what they need to do and that's it. In China for instance they work 6 days a week for about 10 hours a day, but when you own your own business, you work 7 days a week for about 16 hours. When you are forced ... you will do it ... when you are not and you have parents where you can 'hide', it becomes more difficult to work. When we look at globalisation we can see that some generations has been profiting from it. Although they needed to work hard ... it also meant you built something up for the future, for your kids, etc. The kids of these days, can't do better anymore than there parents and the incentive to work hard WHILE facing a harder world to live in (pollution, climate change, end of globalisation), people start to become depressed and feeling like a failure, they just throw the towel into the ring.

Parents get off your phone take your kids tablets away go outside and do something when the tech withdrawal hits all of you deal with it then grow as a family

THEY'D HAVE TO PAY ME MORE THAN $900 TO GET ME TO LIE BOUND IN A COFFIN FOR EVEN TEN MINUTES.

I think that if people are becoming less materialistic that is a good thing. I was always taught that 'enough is as good as a feast', but our richer societies are consuming the world to destruction. Possession becomes more important than time, creativity or even love.

The whole NEET situation is simple. The kids have figured out that it is not what you know, ot is who you know, in all too many cases. They are also looking at diminishing returns for effort and training, and are making strategic decisions.

Huh? I think the biggest news of the week is that Russia has agreed to give nuclear weapons technology to N. Korea and N. Korea are sending first troops to Ukraine.

I don't think anyone could object to the idea that we are, at the very least, on the cusp. Right now, the response of China is going to be pivotal... more consequential even, than the response of Europe or the US. I hope all efforts are being made to bring China on-board. We may not agree on much, but China tends to be rather pragmatic. They are capable of keeping issues separate.... and whilst we may have irreconcilable differences over political ideology, trade, foreign policy and Taiwan... China isn't so inflexible that it cannot find pockets of agreement and common ground over tissues like local geographic security. That's one of the good things about China, they're pragmatic rather than emotional. How THEY react, is going to decide whether this situation remains manageable. As a massive export economy they have nothing to gain from all out war with the west. If trade fails, they'll have a revolution... and, as a very densely populated country they cannot countenance even a limited nuclear exchange. They may be a dictatorship - but they're a thoughtful dictatorship. And, right now, N. Korea and Russia are exceptionally _"bad for business"_ at a time when China is already financially vulnerable. I honestly believe that China is our best hope for restoring sanity... an odd ally as things get too crazy. Just as Putins political vulnerability right now is our most dangerous issue. He cannot afford to step back, and HAS to escalate. He has no other option : / Anyone thinking that Putin wouldn't let Russia burn just to save his own skin, simply isn't paying attention. An agreement of a set of conditions, under which the west will start to remove sanctions in a controlled way - would be an important carrot that could prompt a coup. As distasteful as it may be, we may have to show that there is a LOT of money to be made as Putins successor. Using the stick isn't enough, there must also be a golden carrot ... a big door marked 'EMERGENCY EXIT' with the sound of popping champagne corks behind it. There has to be a reason to risk a coup, and if all hope for Russia is lost - then nobody is interested in inheriting the leadership position.

That may not fit your narrative that the Houthis are not targeting Russian (also Chinese) vessels because it was not a Russian registered ship after all, but the Russian coal shipper who thought he had a deal with the Houthis for safe passage through the Bab-el-Mandab Strait is probably pretty unhappy about the loss of an entire cargo of coal!

Repressing religion and speech are both due to fear of criticism of the government. I loved Kaspersky, I work in IT and I've worked in organizations that used it here in the U.S. great product but the threat of the Russian government forcing Kaspersky to give up information or access/sabotage client computers is a real threat.

About NEET, Mr Constantine, you grew up in a communist system, and I see where you are coming from, earning as much as u can and learning the meaning of the word responsibility (financial wise ofc) when you lived in the west that is fine, I was born in 86 and spent most of my life in belgium and I totally understand the NEET movement. While russians developed an acute sense of sarcasm when it came to the USSR so do people here about their democracies. A lot of us in the west, that are considered low skilled workers long understood that the employment scheme is just a game of musical chairs, no matter what u do, somebody will be left hanging, and not only that, in the past, the social contract was such that a low skilled job was enough for you to access real estate (perhaps after 30 years the house would be paid) it was also enough for you to provide for your family, you could perhaps own one cheap car, and you could afford to take your family on holiday to the sea or go camping once a year, something like that. Yea all of that is gone, now, you can barely survive with minimum wage (I remember working a full time job in a cultural centre, 38 hours/week and was paid 1100€ NET). I have no skill whatsoever, just a fancy highschool diploma, I dont have the support nor the peace of mind to go back to college, people in my situation are forever stuck in this limbo, even if I was working I would not even be able to afford a car (with the petrol prices and insurance on top I cant even entertain the idea). I get as much money from my unemployment benefits as I would being an active working member of society. And besides people like me are considered dispensable by big companies (that is what I was when I was called by temping agencies when I worked in an assembly line). Needless to say im not jumping at the idea of going to work for peanuts, in fact, when I was waiting tables I often wondered how many times my salary did these important business/banking people were making... I feel like a sucker working for peanuts while my gov keeps giving tax breaks to people that dont need them. I get NEET, I am one of them, albeit unwittingly until I learned of their existence today. I hope my small rambling gave you some insights.

There are other reasons for NEET. My medically disabled daughter would give anything to be able to go to college and be employed. In addition, there are lots of fulfilling jobs that are not corporate, so I don’t really buy the lifestyle choice. I retired as a teacher recently after a long career of teaching students in high poverty schools. Sure, teaching is a difficult job, but it is never boring, and is extremely rewarding, and there is a shortage of good teachers. In addition, many people go into business for themselves and don’t have to answer to corporations. I have to wonder if many of these young NEET people just have enabling parents, who never taught them the value of hard work.

I understand Neet from the Japanese culture. The pressure to succeed, the shame of failure, and the immense stress of conforming forces people out of society. There is not a lot of mental healthcare in Japan. So once you fall out of society, it is almost impossible to get back in because the are shamed for being a Neet in the first place. Being a neet isnt so much a choice. Its a result of societal pressures and a person not getting the support they need.

Younger American here, let me start by saying i love your content! I personally haven't heard of the NEED movement until now, but it sounds very close to the quiet quitting movement that occurred at least here around a year or 2 ago. I was born in the mid 90s, I work a job as a factory mechanic 6 days a week, I started a year after covid began, and I have seen the cost of living nearly double, my weekly grocery bill used to be around 40 dollars and now its around 60 or 70 a week, fast food prices have hiked up as well to the point where it costs the same to eat at a mcdonalds or a sit down restaurant, and over the past decade I've seen rent prices about double from a cheap 1 bedroom apartment in 2014 costing around 400 or 500 to the bare minimum of 800 or 900 today. My job as a mechanic has given me raises but the same job before cocid would have had me living a comfortable life, and now its a lot more precarious. So basically my thought on the NEED movement are I get it. Companies, atleast in the US, are recording record profits but they've nearly doubled what they charge for things and it's affecting us around the bottom 40% of income drastically. Why work an important job to society when you could work an easy job and the pay difference is only a dollar or 2 an hour?

Most of the stores will go away and automated. As Jeff Bezos says, "your margin is my opportunity." Retail will be eaten by Amazon - it's just not economically viable. By the way, I empathize with your position as manager/employer but I also see the matter from the workers' point of view. By the way, the business model was still viable before the money printer kicked in after 2020. But since the money flooded the economy, more and more sectors become obsolete.

On NEET I think that many young people are very much scared of many things in the modern world like climate change, the (threat of) war and stagnating wealth.

I think we need to show these people that we can change the future and fix these problems. E.g. fixing climate change is surprisingly easy, we just have to do it and we have to do it now. We have almost all technologies we need for it and it’s not even that expensive, some people even assume it will save us money.

Hello from France 🇫🇷. My two cents about "neet". I'm 57 (so generation X) and I choosed to work as little as possible, because for me it was pointless : I hated the system I grew into. I preferred culture, litterature, art, and above all music. I grew during the punk and Gothic, Indus metal period, and we hated the way our parents saw the world (and ourselves). And then, one day, I found my way... I was 40... And then I worked as hard as I could because I loved what I learned, all by myself, I understood what working meant. It make sense to work my a** off at that point but not before. So, I can understand the choice of current generation, something you can't understand at all coming from ussr : My girlfriend is ukrainian (and I live in Ukraine six month by year) and she can't understand neither. It's cultural and very understandable in the west when young : choice of peace of mind and no responsibilities. But it's an error in the long run and quite selfish : you MUST prepare your old days and provide good life for your children and/or old parents. Just... find your way.

Started working at 15 and recently retired at 65. Those "neet" slackers need to get to work and pay for my SSI. I paid for someones SSI for the last 50 years.

With the current fertility rate every western pension system will break down, only thing to save it are migrants. A inevitable solution causing other problems and xenophobia. I think US has 1.66? Well another think not really motivating the neet generation.

They dont want to because there’s nothing in for them. You’re the last gen to collect social security, it will collapse by the time i retire, that is in about 20 years. So enjoy you’re getting something back. Im paying but will get nothing back

You are acting 'entitled' like a millennial. Most of the NEET crowd know they will pay but get nothing back. That is a bad deal and I understand and agree that they should just not pay in the first place.

Please add chapters, Konstantin. Thank you!

As I understand NEET, it is not a political 'movement' but an investigation how much and why young people are not in employment, education or training. There are those who want to find a job and simply cannot - so they lack opportunity. Others do not actively search for jobs, education or training - but that's not laziness either. They may have other commitments, e.g. care for family members. Some are too depressed by their living situation. What it does show is a catastrophe in the making - a lot of youths with little chance for getting well-paid jobs in the future requiring education or training. At some point they might get desperate about their situation, and desperate people take desperate measures.

China is also outlawing the Uighur Turkic language and insisting all Uighurs speak Mandarin and all schools teach in Mandarin.

Oh no, people want to actually live a life and not just spend 110% of their living hours slaving away at a job, how tragic! Massive boomer energy right there...

No to the coffin; yes to your idea of spending time on the beach

The sad part is that one more generation of the world's people have a very difficult future

The North Koreans and Chinese put allied prisoners in boxes during the Korean war for long periods.

I think the NEET situation is basically about what the youth sees of the parents and grandparents have/had and they can't see a way to achieve a quality of life they enjoy/enjoyed. I also think that they see that the cost of life is crazy, and it is far easier to give up than fight a fixed outcome. When you have retirement ages before Social Security going up and up where it is basically impossible to achieve (driven by mismanagement of the politicians) why play the game at all? Honestly, it should be disturbing, but what should be more disturbing is what lead to this and the scum that have created this environment.

NEETs have been/are a problem in my country (Sweden). It's not talked about today but was back in mid 2010s. It wasn't not about people not wanting jobs but people not able to get jobs. In Sweden, it's about kids dropping out of compulsory education (grades 1-9) and not qualifying for high school, those not qualifying for high school because of low grades, not having good enough Swedish (yes, most of them have immigrant background) and kids with various forms of neuro-psychiatric diagnosis's and, thusly, having not qualified for high school or even been able to complete compulsory education.

I haven't heard anything recently about Myanmar where the police came and took over and shot people or were recruited into the army and shot people I haven't heard about Hong Kong, I remember they were demonstrating and I don't think they've gotten more Democratic but I don't know when that was The Rohinga who were being persecuted by the people from Myanmar, only hear about them now and then. And it's fascinating that while they were in the news the government was being run by that Nobel Peace prize winning person whose name would... I don't know how to spell it and I don't think Google does either. I would actually have to look it up, her name. But she was under house arrest for a long time and they gave her a Nobel Peace prize and then I guess she finally got to rule but while she did all these people were being persecuted. Sounds really peaceful to me. While we are renaming the towns and the streets has they did in the USSR way back when, The names of the cities and streets in Ukraine are also being renamed back and forth? I know. Russia is bad. I don't care if you call it the USSR I don't care if you call it the Russian federation - they're just bad and oppressive. And maybe tomorrow they'll pass a law against going to bed at night. I'm sure some day soon it'll be our turn. The USA has almost made it to 250 years. I don't know how long these democracies last. I'm concerned. And I had to throw out a bunch of duck eggs from a nest. I'm in a bad mood.

Neet -is called having no choice. You had opportunity.

Thank you for the update!
