-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

Read the article next time. It's a weird trend for parents to try and connect with their socially self isolated adult children by socially isolating themselves.
It's a little extreme sure, but sweet in a way.
And what about Occupied Korean society may be causing these social breakdowns for their children? Is it the alienation they feel from some of the most oppressive capitalism on earth?
eh, japan's the same way and it's a totally different country, so i think there's nothing to see here. it's just one of those things, you know.
Also totally not happening in the U.S right now, ignore any news articles pointing out NEETism being on the rise, they're commie fake news
those are all just individual choices
Japan is also hyper capitalist with insane exploitation
That is the point they were making via sarcasm.
Ah my bad, text based sarcasm is difficult to pick out without a tag
I’ll be honest, I was half way through writing a similar comment to your until my sarcasm detector finally went off.
I know it can be tough for a lot of folks.
Young folks in Japan ain’t doing so hot right now, either.
Aren't situation of working class and the state of capitalism actually very similar in Japan and OcK? Which would explain the same degree of alienation.
Imagine how privileged you have to be to say this. Seems like you never grew any sort of empathy for people with mental health issues otherwise you'd know how unhelpful it would be for your parents to roleplay your depression using money and time that could have went to helping you.
Imagine reading the article, and being so
that you think “yes this is a wholesome good news story, all is well with society, silly OP mustn’t have even read it.”
Bet this person reads those news articles about 8 year olds crowd raising funds to pay off other 8 year olds lunch debts and thinks it’s “kind of sweet in a way”
"Aww how sweet, that police officer bought lemonade to help that little girl crowdfund her own cancer treatment"
The sort of person who is literate and is able to understand what the words they’re reading mean, but has never had a single independent thought in their life, and as such is not able to think beyond the words on the page in front of them and infer any context, wider meaning or implications. So they can read that an 8 year old did a charitable thing, and then have zero further thoughts about what the conditions are that mean the other 8 year olds are getting into food debt.
Now I think about it, probably the exact same type of person that condemns Hamas because Oct 7th “wasn’t very nice”, without a single thought about the history, motivations and actions that lead up to Oct 7th.
“Context? No I wear glasses sweaty”
lmao
"Read your article fool, it completely explains things and is in no way descriptive of a problem underlying every hyper capitalist country on the planet"
You're one of those 'the curtains are blue' cretins that can't read between lines, aren't you?
A "trend" of clueless parents socially isolating and trying to give themselves depression to "understand" their depressed socially isolated children
In what universe is this "sweet"??? It's willful blindness and self centered coping designed specifically to ignore the glaring and obvious problem that causes their children to withdraw from society; CAPITALISM
OP's point completely went over your head
An occupied Korea propaganda bot spotted in the wild
Send airborne shit packages to the target's location. The DPRK does PPB but in real life and that's why we love em!
Connecting with your children by.... checks notes... isolating yourself from them. Seems legit.
No it fucking isnt
