 @🌲Hidden🌲 @Anthony “Maybe Mitch Connor” Bacon  @66270c87 @leechseed it is literally true that “inner twisting” / “involution” (neijuan) is the greatest cultural threat to the chinese state rn: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neijuan

context: “neijuan” has come to mean something like “rat race” and there is an opposite word which translates to “lie flat or literally “drop out of the system.” Basically a neet movement that has hit the cultural mainstream 
 @☃️merry chrimist☃️ @Anthony “Maybe Mitch Connor” Bacon  @66270c87 @leechseed Oh yeah i've heard of laying flat. I wonder how common it is. I know Japan makes a big deal of neets but they have one of the lowest neet counts in the world afaik
