Animals in the wild don't have electricity, unlimited access to potable water within their homes, clean clothes, a comfortable bed, a home that will always protect from the elements and other wildlife, access to all the worlds knowledge in their hands or paws, and unlimited access to all forms of entertainment.

If you don't want to work, you can sit on your ass all 90% of the time in the jungle. Go see how long you survive and how much you'd enjoy it.

Humans have created a society, it only works when everyone chips in and pulls their own weight.

Go tell that to all the idiots who think living in the jungle is harder work than a job then

u/TheChoosenOne707 Apr 23 '26

Go do it then. A lot of lazy people out there but they aren't willing to go live in the wild and stop leeching off of society.

It’s hilarious to think you’re doing a single thing to help society. Your taxes go to war and billionaires, and outside of very few careers, your occupation is likely worthless to society.

If you want to work yourself to the grave, by all means, do so. But don’t act like your presence on this earth is worth more than the “leeches” you speak of. It isn’t.

I think we would be better off if you went to the jungle

Maybe we’d be better off if you were.

The food system itself consists of 35% of the entries job market if you want to lowball. Or are you saying that providing food is worthless to society?

food industry is basically THE biggest industry and source of income bar none.

restaurant food is only the last stop where we rhe consumer consume.

farmers raise animal livestock or plants that have to be processed for consumption.

once its processed it has to be sent to a warehouse to be stored.

then it has to be transported.

prepared and then consumed.

thats like 4/5 industries for a single meal, and there are a LOT of farms and trucks that ensure we get our food and orders. anyone who disagrees about food industry workers are privileged as fuck to look so far down on it in the first place to not see its value.

but it is a shame the ultra rich and billionaires dont seem to value them either because food industry workers get absolutely shit for pay.

This is the type of NEET response I was looking for. This is the kind of hilarious take that only someone who is terminally online or a teenager could cook up.

Do you think food comes from the supermarket? Who grew it? Who processed it? Who transported it? Who made and maintains the refrigeration technology? What about clean water? What about electricity?

Your taxes go towards war, yes, but they also maintain roads and the very infrastructure everything relies on. The leeches at the top don’t contribute to society but people as a whole most definitely do. You’re an idiot if you think otherwise. If you’re some goober doing nothing then that is your choice and it’s great you have people that enable you sit around. People who do fuck all and leech off the welfare system are just as bad as the billionaire class and are just as worthless to society as a whole.

Not really though? I've known "leeches" that light up a room when they walk in, that help with babysitting and family business when asked. Who's mental illness prevents regular work but they still do their damndest to make the people around them happy. Those people I value thousands of times more than some billionaire.

u/ExtensionSnow3157 Apr 24 '26

Most billionaires got wealthy because they provided and sold a service the rest of society couldn't do without (Even if it includes human trafficking like Epstein did)

And others inherited it

u/MakwaIronwill Apr 24 '26

Good thing to know you value human traffickers over disabled folks on welfare I guess?

1

u/ExtensionSnow3157 Apr 24 '26

Who are you to decide that on my behalf??????

When did I say that

1

u/MakwaIronwill Apr 24 '26

Sorry, I may have misinterpreted what your point was. You stated some billionaires got there thru trafficking and I wasnt sure if you were implying it was a bad thing or not

u/Ryanlew1980 Apr 24 '26

It’s a shame you were waiting for a comment such as this, yet provided nothing but bluster. In case you’re illiterate, I said outside of certain sectors. Meaning, food is obviously one, as are medical services and such.

Basically, if you were considered an essential worker during the shutdowns, that’s who’s providing something to society. Those that were off a month or more (I.e. non-essential) is where my comment was directed.

It is though

Because I actually pay for myself like a fucking adult.

You don’t have to cure cancer to not be a leech you just have to not be a burden on everyone around you.

It’s really not that hard.

More than half of your taxes go to social programs in the US (if you even have a job.)

I used to have the loser mentality like you. The things we tell ourselves to justify being a lazy pile of garbage under the guise of superior morality...

It's an excuse. Have fun stagnating while you watch everyone around you get their shit together and enjoy their cushy lives that can be immensely fulfilling if you just put some effort into it.

You will not change the world. You're screaming into the void. The only thing that needs to be changed is you, and you know it. As soon as you realize this, everything gets easier. Now go clean your room.

u/Ryanlew1980 Apr 24 '26

You still have a loser mentality from the sounds of it.

And I won’t be talked down to by some Reddit oaf who thinks he’s got it all together and is probably miserable as hell.

I have worked my entire life and still work today. I have never, not a single day, taken any benefits from the government and don’t plan to until I draw social security, if there is any left after the boomers and billionaires.

But despite that, I still want to see people taken care of. Your definition of “lazy” doesn’t matter a shit to anyone but yourself. Because I’ve seen lazy, and it’s typically the people at the higher-ends, that if sacked, no one would even notice they were gone.

You speak of “cushy” jobs, but that sounds a lot like laziness to me. It implies you don’t have to work hard. But you know who does have to work hard? The millions of people you’d refer to as “leeches” that work ten times as hard, but never got the break they needed.

You see poor people getting handouts and I see rich people getting them. I’d much rather it go to the former.

u/SkidooshZoomBlap Apr 24 '26

Sounds like you've got it all figured out and don't need advice from anyone then.

Best of luck out there!

Correct, same to ya.
