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.
Or is it an advertisement?
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.
You asked us about NEET... They look at you and say; I don't want to work my A$$ off and end up an exile in a foreign land..
When you deal with the Devil he wants your soul. Putin selling Russia's soul.
[КошкинДом] - Not only the Uighurs, but also the Tibetans have been oppressed for decades by Han Chinese imperialism.
Correct ❤
Not only the Uighurs and Tibetans, every minority group in China gets oppressed and persecuted, it's a continuation of Mao's great cultural destruction, first they wiped out their own culture and then they progressively wipe out all other cultures, it' been going on since the 1940's
The Uighur genocide began long ago too. People think it started only like 6-7 years ago, but in 2008 I met a Uighur in China (he was our driver) who told me what was happening to them and it had already begun. I don’t know how the CCP found out, but the next he was taken away and replaced. It was scary.
@@The_ZeroLine I have known of it for 15 years.
Attack against Tibet caused the law of cause and effect to be triggered.
I do think as an American that capitalism has gone too far. Many have insane wealth privilege and power while others who work very hard can barely get by and provide for their families. I wish we could find some happy ground in the middle where much of the suffering could be expunged.
Indeed, our middle class has been shrinking for several decades. Capitalism is good if taxation is applied fairly. The conservative farse, 'trickle-down economics' has been their mantra to successfully decimate the middle class.
not capitalism, more like certain people in power. Also, don't think the long and rotten hand of the good old Russian corruption cannot reach USA. They have enough reach to hug the whole planet - where a door closes, a window opens. Russia needs to sober out and stop being jerks. Too many mistakes however and little too late.
Thank you, Konstantin, for being the decent person you are. I still remember how I, we, were on the nerves for you to leave while it was still possible, too years ago soon, and so relieved when you finally did, just before the window closed. And got to get your family to unite with you. Cheers from Denmark. God bless you.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

@@INSIDERUSSIALove you, K, but how come no link you pointed to on the screen has ever appeared? 😂
If they go to collage they end up imprisoned by debt. Jobs have no retirement or benefits, new technologies can replace them and business have no loyalty to their employees. Rents are high. They can't buy homes. They don't see a bright future.
That is in the USA, my daughter aged 32 is bitching that she has to pay 185€ for a years worth of public transport (nation wide) on top of the 200€ fee for her first year in the uninversity over here in Germany studying IT LOL. You Yanks are just doing it wrong...........
Brother in law was under towers in 9/11 it is grotesque.
very sorry to hear that
Young people don't see a bright future. I'm an American, and I think we have handed our children a world they don't like or feel safe in
The answer lies in democracy. That way people can shape the country they live in to human needs. The twenty or so full democracies all have a high levels of prosperity and human happiness.
Unfortunately, in terms of democratic processes the US is well down the list, it's not in the top twenty. Unsurprisingly people there often feel ignored and disengaged.
@@jimgraham6722 those " democracies" are the ones. who plundered the world stole peoples land and reaches and sold them to slavery . any thing else would you like to know about those " democratic " nations last one being " Ukraine " ?
Well these young people don't even try = terrible attitude and they will suffer when 60
China and russia are crappy places to live. Advise them to leave by any means
This is why I didn't have children. The writing was on the wall years ago.
Yes Neet is a legitimate response to their prospects in life. Young people especially men have been increasingly withdrawing from active participation because society has , over time, been offering them less and less reward for their efforts, while heaping more and more disdain upon them.
Russia did not lose these friends. They chose to reject them.
At 73 years of age I applaud those who choose to enjoy life over trying to conquer it.
How are you able to live a decent life at 73? You probably worked all your life and put enough money aside. Pensions, social security and the likes will keep shrinking with fewer people working and putting money into the system. If you don't create a nest egg yourself, you will just work whatever type of labor you are still capable of performing at older age and after that, you will become homeless and die in some ditch. Not a very desirable end. Of course you can also pull the plug when the day comes. Soylent Green.
Right… me too. But.. what if someone who still likes conquering ,at last start knocking at your door? You just let them in?
For me minimum paid job is not enjoying life, it's vegetation. Especially that if you earn early on, you can invest and then later on enjoy life having resources for that.
@@MsTrotwood Yes, personally, but in the case of Ukraine, and being an American with the power to keep them free, I am for defending the people of Ukraine.
@@Handrak Though I have always had a very comfortable life, enjoying life has very little to do with money.
I'm sure even Putin's dog hates him.
@@jeffthebluesinem2280 …🥹 that’s why I befriend Kim!😭
How do you sleep with yourself we really don’t know the whole truth we get hearsay. Just pray all works for the good of the Lord
no, but the dog was looking for you
Somebody arrest putin for me?
Even if you’re pure evil, if you treat your dog well, they’ll love you. Though I know this post was a joke.
They should stop the coffin rituals and send the boxes to Russia. I’m sure they are not on the sanctions list.
Konstanthin, we feel the sadness in your voice when speaking about your native country. We are so happy you left and took your family with you. USSR version 2 will be a dark, cold, opressive place 😢
This is also apparently a problem in China
Called 'lying flat".
I've read somewhere that competition for the good jobs in China is very hard, and some who don't have much natural talent see no chance to get there even with hard work. So they essentially give up. Also called "lying flat", as cathjj wrote.
My favorite book is “In Praise of Idleness” by British philosopher Bertrand Russel in the 1920’s. It basically promotes a 20 hour work week which reduces unemployment and provides free time for creativity and family time. Of course the greedy rich would have to sacrifice some of their riches.
NEET reminds me of the Chinese movement “lie flat”
In the West it's MGTOW
@@vahangood5999 nah, that's something totally different.
Neet...don´t know about that. But I remember a survey they did, I think in Australia, among people on their dying bed. They asked them, what were their biggest life regrets. It was about 50/50 between those, who´s biggest regrets were, that they never took enough time for their loved ones and those, who regretted they´d neven taken enough time for themselves. Not one single person did express regrets, they never worked hard enough.
I'll bet no one says he wished he'd watched more television either.
@@360decrees2 I really don´t know, what you are trying to say with this comment. I wasn´t talking about lazyness, but I guess some people are really bad at finding something usefull to do with themselves, unless someone else is telling them, what to do.
If you're 18 what do things look like: climate disaster, potentially being cannon fodder, unrepayable student debt, never owning a home, working harder and harder and with continually falling real income. I think they likely see no prospect of any agency to change this
Yep, we all struggle everywhere. The people are choosing to opt out. Personally, while I am working, I am not starting a family.
When I was 18, it was more or less the same alarming arguments: A nuclear disaster could happen any day, the environment (not the climate) was being destroyed so living on earth would be impossible for future generations, the oil would soon be used up so we wouldn’t have any energy, young people would never get the same living standards as their parents…. Well, here we are 40 years later, and the same tune is being played over and over again…
Actually, l choose to be hopeful b/c no one really knows what the future will look like if we look at the past ppl made tons of mistakes predicting the future remember they were saying we were all going to starve b/c of over population? How did that work out? What about all the fuss you know, there wouldn't be enough jobs for everyone due to technology? They try to scare me that's why I avoid the so called "breaking news"
@@figgebirma7157 I guess you never go outside. There's billions more people now and the global stage is more like the 1930's. But this time with nukes all 'round and a US at the brink of civil war, pointing and blaming all around, AI slowly replacing us.
Oh and Tsernobyl was pretty bad. Like the hole in the ozon layer which killed droves of people and animals. Chemicals and plastics everywhere. The stuff you were told only got worse. Cancer everywhere too. And babyboomers havent died, got less children, so society is more upside down than ever before...
Oranges, apples. In my country there is little space, the price for a house has become impossible, we are sort of preparing for people staying with their parents until they are 40. Not because they want to... I'm a bit older, but many of my friends don't have children either. Even though they did educate themselves/got educated.
@@figgebirma7157 the living standards have already diminished, like said. This generation is worse off than mine and I already was a bit worse off.
I met many Russians a bit like you Konstantin in the early 90's in Moscow and Kazan with drive, ambition, energy, enthusiasm and focus to make a better life for themselves.
I doubt they live in Russia now.
I think Covid had an impact on most people to reflect on their working lives and freedoms and a lot of time was spent in isolation and this impacted some of our youth who maybe want a different way of life to older generations.
I don't think a war has helped.
All the best and take care.

As far as Uyghurs and their cultural persecution and eradication by China being forgotten by Western media, what about the cultural persecution and country of Tibet?
Forgotten? There's a different relationship with China. It isn't fofrgotten, it has little traction. We all buy chinese. You could try to evade Chinese products (good luck). Our greed plays a bigger role there, sadly and for now China is too big - a luxury Russia doesn't have anymore - since the west went all in sanctions and decoupling.
Mostly its about bigger fish. Taiwan is bigger. Ukraine is. Syria is. US politics are. etc. They take up space from major media, but there's more than a few newspaper, Fox and CNN...
Xi not going anywhere either and both are actually well known groups, solely because of our media... It's not like China has a lot of free press in that sense.
I'd say tibetans are better known at any rate. West has little to say there, though, with aboriginals and indians decimated and slavery.. Shooting up China forcing opium on 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.
tibet was more interesting there, with cinema, the lama... Until he ask a boy to suck his tongue. Goodwill out the window...
Thailand: I was many times in Thailand,married a Thai. Many Temples are actually better described as commercial enterprises.
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.
Great video! I didn’t forget about the Uyghurs. I think news about China’s economic and social downfall, and the new suffering of non Uyghur Chinese, has gotten more popular attention. It’s not as hidden.
Most interesting to learn about things not directly related to the war. Thank you.
On the NEET movement, a world without depth of learning is a world where talent and connections mean everything, and effort means next to nothing.
effort is always #1
@@INSIDERUSSIA NEET is not a movement. It's just a description of the situation!
The unemployment is often due to the teens not having desired skills or experience. The opportunity to gain both is apprenticeship but the pay often doesn't even cover their travel expenses and other needs. Far below minimum wage. Business jump on the apprenticeship scheme to underpay whilst also receiving money from the government.
@Zero?, apology to you. Your comment goes far deeper than surface reading. Sorry again.
@@dumptrump2294 No problem. Not judging people. It just takes effort to build a better world. Effort + ability = skills. Skills + effort = accomplishments. Effort counts twice. Got that from a book called Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance.
Konstantin, recently the Houthis sank a ship coming out of the Red Sea using two unmanned drone boats. The ship was Palauan flagged, Philippino crewed, and reportedly loaded with Russian coal bound for India. 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!
Never mind the loss of crew members.
Good point! Ward Carroll's TH-cam channel reported today that the ship that was most recently sunk had one crewmember killed when the Houthi drone boat hit the stern and exploded, flooding the engine room and killing one of the engineering staff. The ship had armed security personnel aboard from Sri Lanka who reportedly did not fire upon the two drones that sank the ship.
What about the crew?
@@janrandle2896probably didn’t value them as much as the coal.
I would rather pay my bills with $900 than pay for that "funeral of past failures" ritual in Thailand. Thanks, Konstantin, for your informational and IMPORTANT news most people don't get to hear!
Thank you for bringing the Uighurs plight. We sadly have forgotten about them. Sadly the Chinese Communist Party crushes all religions to a degree but nothing on the same scale as the Uighurs. It's sad that their government is so insecure of itself. I've always wondered why totalitarian governments are always so insecure. 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. It's not Kaspersky that's untrusted but the government in Moscow in this instance.
Instead of 'so insecure', think more in terms of mobsters. Because that's what totalitarian governments are comprised of. And they don't leave willingly, because there's usually only 1 way out...
Computers are the perfect dehumanising tool for dehumanised societies such as China, but also corporations.
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 believe that this may force China to take a stand. If enough troops are sent, then western European NATO countries may even directly enter the the Ukraine theatre. It's huge news and the most severe escalation so far.
@@BloingDidoing I agree. Whilst there is certainly grounds to argue that we are already in a de-facto world war (and I'd tend to agree).... 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.
The message needs to be, either this madman gets us all killed ... or he falls out of a window and his successor gets to swap war and economic death, for growth and personal enrichment. We need to offer the next kleptocrat something worth stealing ; )
But, yeah, we haven't been this close since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'm 51 and think I'll probably see mushroom clouds in my lifetime : /
THEY'D HAVE TO PAY ME MORE THAN $900 TO GET ME TO LIE BOUND IN A COFFIN FOR EVEN TEN MINUTES.
No coffin brother.
I’m Greek Orthodox…it’s free to go to confession and my Priest is a good guy and my friend for 14 years. He has never said anything unkind to me!
I’m 76, so after I die the Church will remember me as everyone else is remembered on the day of the departed by making Koliva and dining ‘Memory Eternal’.
K finally understands there might be an issue with the model of capitalism going on in the US. 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. That's why people quit that system, it's not difficult to understand if you take an honest look at it.
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.
@@toromontana8290 See this is something that i really dislike about people in politics: I say social democracy which is a combination of social protections and capitalism while keeping a very close eye on regulating shit so it doesn't turn unfair or evil. Then you say SOCIALISM and give the worst examples possible. Yes there is meaningful difference when it comes to your payed days off, maternity leave for 2 years payed by the government, your rights as an employee, etc. I am not saying that Romania figured it out and we're doing great because of that, all I am saying is that social democracy is the way forward and not the plutocracy that the US has turned into. All this talk about the dream, making it no matter how bad your start is - the people that make it are the exceptions, the rest of the hard working try hard people just fail - they other have the money and no time or the time and no money. Life is not only about making money, you should have the time to enjoy said money. When I talk about enjoying money I am not thinking about yachts and luxury cruises, it's about having the time to actually raise your children, spend quality time with your significant other and friends/family, getting to read some books, see a movie, climb a mountain, etc.
@@AI3Dorinte Only I'm not giving the worst example, this is how Romanian social democracy functions and it's been that way for 30 years.
The only ones who have it easy in Romania are passive investors due to the 8% dividend tax. If you earn a salary or you're an entrepreneur and you run your own business you get taxed a lot and regulated a lot.
@@toromontana8290 but you get the benefits I talked about, it's not only what you're giving in taxes. Also Romania hasn't been lost in time for 30 years. We're making great progress and if you think that's not true you're just too involved in your expectations and not objective at all. I am an employee and my life is good, could it be better? Yes, for sure but I do earn enough to provide for my family, going on vacation and still have the time to actually enjoy life. Also there's always the option to work on some side projects if the need for more money arises. This will not be the case if I was living in the US.
You didn't mention the corruption in Romania.
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.
My impression was that Kaspersky would be the lone remaining Rus business trusted in the US. That's the reputation I thought they had.
Kaspersky has ALWAYS been marching to Kremlin's orders....
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.
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.
13:56 I‘d maybe consider it if they payed me 900$.

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.
Love listening to my English speaking Russian. Today’s youngsters’ attitude to work might just save this globe. We definitely need a change of course in order to survive as a people or maybe we will just seed to the ants.
Hi Konstantin, this is really messed up but also a global problem. So many of our youth do not want to work because they've had it so easy growing up. Very scary!
Please add chapters, Konstantin. Thank you!
You and I are gen X, we are the boomers kids
It means that your children are generation Z who wants to have a better life with less work... That's okay that companies are changing the working mode to give people the opportunity to live their life....
You are absolutely correct. In this day and age our youth need to be educated to understand economics and how it affects their lives and the country and world at large.
NEET is a rational choice in a world full of nepotism and corruption.
Another great post, but I can’t imagine what it’s like for you to see the country that you love fall apart
No to the coffin; yes to your idea of spending time on the beach
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.
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?
Your food prices are going up because of government greenwashing the public food ,power , freight everything will keep going up until the younger generation start critically reviewing what government policies are
WOW! I have never seen smoke billowing out of every window of a skyscraper before!!
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...
K, great stream, even better than usual. So much food for thought. Your daily news updates are a must read and come ahead of newspapers for me!
Very good way of putting it.
The North Koreans and Chinese put allied prisoners in boxes during the Korean war for long periods.
I think NIEET (i think that's the acronym, right?) is interesting. I think it shows a generational gap which I think we always have to be aware of in every decision countries and economies make. Stuff that worked for us or our parents don't have to work for us and our children. Not that the movement should or will have a future, but as a statement, it's interesting in my opinion.
I saw a TH-cam short where this woman was in tears. Getting up, commuting to work, working 8 hours, commuting home, then eating and going to bed was more than she could handle. She didn't want to live her life like this. It sounds like your Neats.
8h of work a day is not exactly a big deal. Of course if you commute 2h each way it is but that info was not provided. I live in the US myself and work in telecommunications. 10h work days are normal and 12h days happen once or twice a week. A big problem nowadays is that many companies are global and you end up dealing with colleagues on other continents, making for long days. Fortunately I don't have a commute.
@@heiner71 I agree, but she is such a snowflake that two commutes and an 8 hour workday, she acted like her life was over. Welcome to being an adult.
@@CrotalusHH She is not a snowflake but finds that grind too much. I agree, get out if you can. If your definition of being an adult is having no life then you can keep it. I stopped work six years early to enjoy life. I would sit in a local park and see people rushing to get trains and felt pity for them. You don't have to reduce your spending much to have a good lifestyle. I volunteer for various causes but do so when I want to. The first time anyone says "you are late" they get the middle finger and I walk. Not happened yet. Volunteers are valued, employees are not.
@@heiner71 Doing that your wife could well leave you in time and your children end up hating you. Yes you've made someone else rich but at what cost?
@@mbak7801 Sounds like you are part of the problem. I worked to pay the bills and fund my lifestyle. If I didn't like the job I found a new one. I changed employers every few years and worked for myself several time as I do now. I never went public and cried about how hard having a job was. If you don't work and subsist on public handouts you are part of the problem.
Regarding NEET: the original slang has is different meaning (Japanese, social reclusion).
Young people in the west like me (25) live in a world where you get the job from social connections, not from actual effort. Living is expensive, debt from education and you're lucky if you can afford to rent an apartment.
When burnout amongst younger generation has peaked due to work pressure of a modernizing world, why ruin your health like that. Life on this earth is short, they want to make the most of it.
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.
Peace and thanks for your work.
I think kids are fed up with bullcrap and just want to have security
The sad part is that one more generation of the world's people have a very difficult future
I hear and feel the panic in your voice while discussing the NEET issue with kids. Born and raised in Canada 🇨🇦 we had education, training opportunities, and plentiful employment so I did it all, lol, simultaneously. I worked my butt off and enjoyed the rewards, but there were unintended consequences. It caught up with me in health issues, relationship challenges, my parents watched and worried. I made the changes I needed to bring my life back into balance. Balance. The kids will be ok. Sure it’s horrifying to watch them waste these precious years in the meantime, and soon we will have to watch while their own unintended consequences begin to appear. We will have to let them go through it and learn, that will also be difficult. But they will learn and life will come back into balance.
Thanks so much for your talks, I enjoy each and every one of them. I’ve learned so much, thank you.
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.
“Neet” IS very disturbing! But now I can see why my son who is 6, but is extremely lazy! He lives on his phone and it’s so hard getting him to school let alone his homework. My daughter, my love however, she’s extremely like my or our generation. She goes to school, does her work @ school and @ home. She’s amazing so that number is dead on.! Almost 50% of gen z are neet. 50% of my children are neet.! Idk I can’t explain other then gen z wants to be lazy. Eat, shitting, and sleeping. It’s disturbing.
Most kids 15 to 20 are in high school or college ? So your left with 21 to 24 they must be inmature 😮 Then they will never have enough to pay for college never buy a house and see a different world then their parents had ! These kids are stuck in a greed squeez from corprate vile greed
Just watched a Mark Felton documentary and it said that BOSS made the black uniforms for the SS during World War 2. Interesting.
In the 60's and 70's we called them Hippies, long hair, hippie, pinkos, I believe was the term. Funny truth, the USSR actually did help our environmental protesters. Thanks
Oh, in summary, the girls got pregnant, the boys needed money, left the communes, got jobs, and lived happily ever after. Rog
What a scam that coffin ritual sounds like. I thought the '60s and '70s Anglosphere had the corner on that stuff, i.e. est, Rolfing, Primal Scream, etc.
Those with faith and money are soon parted .
I agree my friend, n.e.a.t. is quite disturbing
The NEET movement among young people is an adaptation to the lack of employment security in today's economy. It is hard to plan for the future if your employment prospects are insecure and no amount of education and training can improve the situation.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Joke: Denial is not only a river in Egypt. (Only works when spoken, not in writing).
Neet is compleatly understandable for me. This is a problem that most young people in my country face. :
Small flat in city where i live cost about 266 average month salary (and growing). So owning real estate is out of the question for most. Due to the state of the economy and demographics, it is not possible that the pensions at the time when I will be entitled to them will be of a sufficient amount, from which it would be possible to make a decent living. So I'm doomed to years of boring corporate work and living in rent only to end up homeless in retirement. In addition, progressive taxation is applied where I live. The more you earn, the more you pay in taxes. My children are doomed to the same path before birth.
So why should I even bother trying if it's already doomed?
As long as they have their cellphones.
That joke made me think of the 'russian cutaway scene' from a family guy episode.
A picture of a shoe and a shoe lace, and then someone say with a russian accent: Shoe and shoelace, one is unuseable without the other.
Not sure how widespread "NEET" is, but I have seen a few "NEET" people even in America, as a very hard working nation for the most part. I think it may have evolved from perhaps upper middle-class here or maybe even RICH, as they see their parents working day and night to become RICH and in their view, they feel they were neglected during their early growth period. Attitude here! Maybe like hippy's in the 70's, they just dropped out. The NEET people in some cases know they can escape working like their parents, as they are just waiting for mom and dad to kick off, as they will be in the will, so why work your ass off? Do you think this is a neet idea?
The Houthis.
What an advanced group of zealots they are.
By the way I hope your friend Eugene didn't get any of that junk in his lungs.
Employment in the US is not what it was when you were here, K. Most companies here are now Corporate franchises, which means that even managers do not have the authority to make any decisions. At the company where my mother works they are not even allowed to adjust the thermostat in the building where they work. That decision is made from the corporate office on the other side of the country. Also, many companies do not want to pay employees to manage. My son does the job of a manager day shift at a hotel. He is not paid any more than the girls doing housekeeping.
Not disagreeing, but it sounds like at least his east coast experience was with small privately owned businesses. You can still find decent places, but they are few and far between. My experience has been that it's best to avoid the "family business" types and the publicly traded companies.
Hello Constantine I’m 60 and became neat two years ago.
The call off cowboys are a powerful bunch.
Everyone used to show up every day back in the day, Not anymore !
I Got sick of working massively shorthanded every day.
Good luck to them
I’m already past that in life
I think with younger generation, the thing is that more and more don't want to participate in the rat race and have a healthier work life balance. Of course, I don't approve having no education or doing completely nothing with your life, but I think in times of consumerism crisis, when it becomes clear that money and career doesn't bring happiness (see the mental health crisis), path of endless pursuit and comparison isn't really legitimate goal of life in sense that it is much better to live you life and work you work, than having work and professional identity as the main part of your life. In my case and many people my age, it's just great that having much responsibility and having to work less (given you earn for living somewhat decent life) gives you room for pursing true passions (for me it's art) and getting to know what life is all about, getting to know myself. As someone pointed in the comments - modern corporate life seems like slavery and there is just one life you have. People become obsessed with following a fixed path and even tend to measure their worth by weather they achieved the so called "success" or not. Also I don't get the frustration with young generation wanting to be different - if someone's goal is to earn as much and have a splendid career, pushing endlessly up the ladder, good for them and having less people sharing these goals, makes it easier to actually come on top but just have no illusions - world has become really big and there is no end to this. I think it's best to let people live their lives as the want, everyone can have different values. Mine is definitely not working my ass off to the graveyard wasting my young years away. Still trying to shake of the neurosis around money and work that I've inherited from my parents and grandparents growing up in post soviet country that was later fully in capitalistic money driven mode.
NEET is great for the environment, they work as little as possible and spend as little as possible and computer provides all the entertainment whatever it's YT or computer games. So very low carbon footprint and the world is overpopulated as it is anyways
With regard to NEET. Everything you have been talking about...Russia's decline, the rise of authoritarianism, the inability of people to make a decent living.. this is why a percentage of young people have given up on this world. Yes, when you were a kid and when I was a kid (much before you FYI), we had a ladder we could climb. The young people today have fewer opportunities if they aren't STEM people. What about the artists, musicians, writers, journalists??? Please check your age bias. I have had to do the same thing. My kids have not inherited the same kind of world that I did. Therefore, I will take care of them as long as I can. Hope you don't have to do the same with your kids, but if you do, it's ok.
Wow, I’d be pretty intimidated by that alligator if I was that close with a camera. You could be next!
The Thailand thing, 🙄 crazy idea!
I ran Kaspersky Anti-Virus way back in the 90s.
I would say: 3 billion friends almost 0 enemies
8 hours? What about toilet needs?!!
Neet is interesting if you look at it from the perspective of "People who have figures out they don't need that much money to be happy in life".
I have nothing against the NEET generation’s “do nothing.” But it will be these people who will give me retirement money - or not…
As you say, the genocide of the Uyghurs is going on for decades.
In 2010 huge areas of the capital Urumqi have been demolished. The reason, there is a risk that the old buildings are going to collapse in an earthquake. Those buildings were built 400 years ago and there has never happened anything to them in earthquakes. And the new buildings were not built in traditional Uyghur style. Thousands of mosques have also been demolished in the whole country.
Besides Tibet, China has stolen half of Mongolia and they are calling it Inner Mongolia Province.
At 31:40 - Not Singapore, definitely looks like KL: Petronas Twin Towers and Menara KL.
As a former educator and traveler currently in construction, seeing young people develop with healthy environments and peers into fuller ethical and interactive real human beings has been as thrilling with epiphany to observe as is the joy in accomplishment, learning and new discovery in and of oneself and changing surroundings
Keep telling the truth Boss and thank you for your Service!
People are rejecting the drive for multiple part time low wage no benefit jobs. Think gerbils. So they realize futility and do not want to die early from stress.
Morning Konstantin. I am ashamed to say that is exactly what my granddaughter wants to do! A very intelligent young lady, but not interrested in studying.
Glad you have raised this subject about Russia's dubious relationship with the Houth1s
Well, it isn't nothing new. In Soviet Union there was long standing practice of state-sposored terrorism by the KGB. And now Russia is ruled by KGB
8 hours in a mock coffin? What if you had to go to the bathroom? What if it's a #2 ?
The coffin is creepy. I don't need that sort of help to understand my downfalls.
Besides. "We learn from our mistakes." [Einstein]
Sometimes, we repeat them to eventually get off of that carousel 🎠 with new ideas.
Coffin & chanting? Guided meditation with incense accomplishes like results. Maybe even better results.
OR... Should we send a monk & coffin to Pudding head?
i think it is a fair way to live- if you choose to just live and not strive, that is a reasonable choice. For some they may change that view in time, or not.
Funeral for failures????? Sounds like a funeral of your wallet
No. I would not spend 900 bucks to be in a coffin for 8 hours. My first thought was: And what if I have to pee or something else? That's just weird.
I would say that the Zeekr 001 looks more like the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo rather than the taycan. :-)
As to your feeling of being in a nightmare.... if the world's hostility level continues to mount.. you might not have to feel that way for long... 😐
