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?

[-] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

those are all just individual choices

Japan is also hyper capitalist with insane exploitation

[-] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago

That is the point they were making via sarcasm.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

Ah my bad, text based sarcasm is difficult to pick out without a tag

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

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. meow-hug

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

Young folks in Japan ain’t doing so hot right now, either.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

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.

Read the article next time.

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.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

Imagine reading the article, and being so brainworms 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”

[-] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

"Aww how sweet, that police officer bought lemonade to help that little girl crowdfund her own cancer treatment"

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

OP's point completely went over your head

wow-cool-robot Wow! Cool robot!

"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" smuglord

You're one of those 'the curtains are blue' cretins that can't read between lines, aren't you?

Connecting with your children by.... checks notes... isolating yourself from them. Seems legit.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

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
