What a terrible article. NEETS and lie flat movement has almost no overlap with incels.
Ostensibly the whole world has been online for enough time now. Yet everyone continues to demonstrate a remarkable lack of ability to grasp internet cultures.
It makes no sense. Like trying to explain technology to my elderly grandma. Except she knows she's very old and out of touch. What's everyone elses excuse. It's made even worse because everyone else thinks they are digitial culture savvy.
They overlap because they are all rejects and failures with no prospects.
Since we've past growth now there are precious few winners in a zero sum game. Why even try, if you're not cut to be a liar and a thief?
...I'm honestly not sure if this is sarcasm or not - if you're pointing out a problematic point of view or if you're attacking the people the article is talking about.
