/n/ - NEET

Fuck yes this is awesome let's get our own Reddit Island and kickstart this!!!! FTEW!!!!

I have troubles talking with folks so if this became real, I wouldnt go. I have breathing problems and low stamina too so I wouldnt be able to do the work.

There probably are some people whod be interested, though.

Depending on how kind/fit other neets are, there are probably some people that could pick up a little slack until you were ready to do it on your own.
"NEET barracks"

>>11109
I assure you anyone that's interested in this are not fit for sustaining a self-sufficient life.

>>11113
Speak for yourself mate.

This is a cool idea, but due to the difficulties associated with how scattered people on the internet are, it is unlikely to become a reality.

Hey guys let's make NEETs do normalfag things with each other!

This has been brought up numerous times already.

>Could you imagine living in such a way?
No, I can't. What would be the point? If you'd like to start a hippie commune, why do that with self-professed NEETs and not, for example, people who share your interests or ideals, or at least someone who does not communicate to others that they aren't doing anything useful?

And why isolate yourselves from the outside world in the first place? Aren't you doing the exact opposite thing right now by reading these words written specifically for you by another human being?

>>11107
You'd basically be living in a third world country, you'd have a good Internet connection and such but affording the actual hardware would still be a problem.

I was thinking of something more along the lines of a Hikikomori Hotel. A bare-bones concrete apartment building design to be cheap and efficient, not pretty or nice-looking. It will be equipped with dumbwaiters that connect to every one of the tenets that delivers food, packages from Amazon, and whatever else. There will also need to be a doctor that does medical checkups from time to time and ensures the sanitation of living conditions. The way that living as such is actually afford it is by having the owner of the hotel assigned jobs and training to its tenets so that they may work at home on their computer terminals without leaving their room. And they can work for cheap without ever having to leave their room, you could always threaten them with kicking them out into the world. As long as you keep them in their rooms and prevent contact with real people outside of it they will continue to fear the outside world and they will never leave, like a prison with no bars. They check-in but they don't check out of the Hikikomori Hotel.

For most hikki's, the act of having to leave your room is 'dealing with the outside world', so I don't see how this plan would help such people, at all.

For NEETs who do have a desire for face-to-face social business, but feel misunderstood by the 'normies', it could work out better.

>>11107
But I don't want to work. I don't want to leave my house. When everyone works, would they cease to be NEET and have the colony just be a normal one or world I be super, ultra, mega NEET? A legit NEET colony would just run out of resources. Unless the NEET colony leader was actually out for dictatorship and conquering the world so the chosen ones would be permitted to be NEET all they want with unlimited financial support while everyone works so that they don't have to.

already working on something like this possibly
I was thinking about slaving you all around to develop video games for me

Hi. Anon from >>11109 here.

Id live in the place youre talking about. What prices are you thinking of?

Yeah i kind of tought this idea has been brought up already, but i havent seen it myself so i just posted to see how it turns out.

The idea behind this would basicly be a kind of place that could function, as in make enough money to sustain itself but still be so isolated from the rest of the world to not get presure of it.
Comparing that with a normal life where you have to go trough a ton of shit to even find a job, not to mention keep it.
And finding housing for neets must be a nightmare too.
Or any of the other garbage you might have to put living on your own.

Ofcourse there would be some minimal interaction involved in itself, but other than that there would be next to none of the regular normie shit expected.

Whereas on such a colony as i said people would just pick which work they do, as long as each does their quota and could probably do it on their own without having to go trough lots of shit.
As long as it gets done things would work out by themselfs mostly.

This would propertionally easy in comparsion to say freelance programming or running your own business as a hikki or neet type person where it is hard to get into and is rather risky in terms of being a stable income.
Also i think such regular work for hikkis would rather require quite some initiative, discipline and planning.

This ofcourse all assumes neet-life doesnt work and you cant just get cheques from the gov or parents forever.

It has been done already. All the time, russian anonymous were really obsessed with the idea of a NEET colony. And on the summer of 2009, they all gathered together, went into the countryside, and founded a Bitardsk Prime settlement. As in "a city of /b/tards". It successfully existed for two whole weeks, and they were living the dream there.

And then they realized that it's too hard, that it's impossible to live without internets, impossible to do hard physical work all day long, impossible to not have any access to any benefits of civilization… They realized that the whole "NEET colony" concept was a one big failure. And they said - fuck it! And they abandoned the settlement and left. And never returned.
Bad end.
Or, should I say, "realistic end"? Seriously, what did they expect?

Proof with photos of our anonymous heroes, and their achievements: http://bitardsk.fotoplex.ru/

The conclusion is: long-term NEET colony is impossible. Learn on mistakes of others.

>>11131
Interesting, nice try.

I can see why one shouldnt expect such a thing to last long, but to go as far as to say its downright impossible is a bit far fetched, besides its not like most of us have better things to do with our lifes. A bit of adventure and some cold reality would probably be for the better for most of us, even if it were for a few days.
Just because it failed once or twice doesnt mean it cant sucseed and people somehow managed to live such lives in the past, we are not yet that much evolved dependent on civilization that it cant be done.

As already stated, this wouldn't work.

It's a nice concept though, and i'd like to experiment with it in the NEET community. real physical labor wouldn't be fit for a NEET. What if it were a virtual farm though?

Yeah that seems like totally responsible kids to put up a NEET colony. No wonder why it went so bad.

If you want to put up a colony you've gotta have somebody to do the hard work, and since NEETs don't want to work there is your first problem. That, or NEETs that wouldn't mind doing the physical labor since no one is actually judging them and/or they're paranoid they will lose their houses/jobs/etc, which, while not impossible, it's definitely not easy to find.

Let's not forget the distance they should travel to get to the little holy land. Would you pay me the plane trip?

>>11133
You say that like we were tards, sure its not expected for ones such us to be fit at the start but one can get used to it, it shouldnt be that much of problem.
Comparing it to all the social crap and the potential problems of mental labor it cant be this hard.

If you go out to the middle of goddamn nowhere, you can grab land for $500/acre or less. Put up satellite internet, start making barracks and facilities. Have a few responsible people to keep things running, and allow the NEETs to pick simple tasks to do every day.

The problem of course is the ensuing influx of freeloaders, who need to be motivated some way or removed from the colony. The growth rate of the colony would also need to be controlled carefully to allow for the current NEET population to build new infrastructure for the expanding residency. This would mean having a waiting list to get in.

for ~$300-800k you could probably get about 1.5 square miles of property in some forested area.

The real problem is the legalities. Most countries won't just leave an unregistered colony alone for long. Once you have several dozen people there, questions will start being asked, and you'll be forced to form a government or disband. Good luck finding anywhere on earth that other people will leave you be. I'm not sure such a place exists.

>Once you have several dozen people there, questions will start being asked, and you'll be forced to form a government or disband.
Once you have several dozen people there, questions will start being asked, and if you're not getting along well with your redneck neighbours, expect to get a red rooster. I assure you, legal matters would be the least of your problems.

15,600$ and we got a 10 acre field with water and electricity, you can build whatever ye want cuz it's surveyed. For only 85$ per year for taxes.


Only downside is that it's in a sunny spot in mexico.


What do people do with these kind of places though..?
The ground is probably not good enough to produce food on.

>>11140
That's the reason it's so cheap.

>>11139
This is completely off topic, but holy shit. That is a really nice picture. The trees on the right are being lit up so brightly it looks like they're glowing orange, and right above them there's a cloud that looks like two people holding hands. And dat smoke - it's so smooth it looks like a blurry close-up of a bouquet of firechalice flowers. (Just thought you should know how much I sperged out over that pic before I responded to OP.)

>>11107
I really doubt a NEET colony would work. If people are as socially withdrawn and avoidant as they seem to be around here, they probably wouldn't get along well enough to cooperate in keeping the place running. I mean, I can't actually speak for other people, but I do know I could never do it.

>>11137
Actually, my grandma bought several acres of land for 8,000 dollars per acre in the early 80s so itd most likely be more expensive than that.

I dont know how much it costs now but theres no way itd be that cheap.

>>11146
It honestly depends on where the land is. In a place like montana you can get remote land for a couple thousand an acre, while in some places a quarter acre will cost 100,000 dollars.

>>11137
The only place I can think of would be international waters, but I fantasize about forming some band of myself and people I like and living in a mountain or a forest, perhaps even on federal land but far out enough that we wouldn't likely be discovered.

I'd be fine with performing tasks for the sake of a group and if I liked that group and wasn't anxious about them I'd probably enjoy it, but it all depends on the group. I would absolutely loath having to perform labor daily for leeches I didn't get along with. I can only imagine it being truly liberating if I actually got along with at least most of the people in the group.

I somewhat agree with the anons that doubt whether a NEET community would work out based on the lack of ability for cohesiveness among NEETs. I think it would be necessary for the comfortable existence of a small, self-sustaining group for there to be a lot of cooperation and willingness to share work or at least get along. NEETs as they are would be one of the least likely types of people to be willing or able to fit into a community in that way.

The Idea is nice.
I don´t mind physical labour …
I just can´t see how this could work.

What you just posted minus the wifi reminds me of many tribes that still exist. In essence, again minus the wifi, is pre-industrial era living.
