We Are All Becoming Hikikomori

all the social anxiety terms and art coming from japan makes kinda sense

Take a look at who runs the media people. Who’s at the tippy top.

Pretty poorly done video. Just regurgitating claims of eugenics, misinterpreting what eugenics "is" and making no connection to what's happening in Japan or the U.S. Try and articualte a proper thesis rather than just forcefeeding leftist twitter talking points next time.

This channels author is so soft and so are the people he sympathizes with. Grow up, life is hard and nobody owes you anything.

Too bad, can't turn me into a commie if I already am one

Ha ha ha. So communist countries treat Hikikomori better? Mao Tse-tung was told by Russia not to do the mass starvation that happened under Stalin, on the same false "logic" of collectivism, but he went ahead and caused absolutely catastrophic starvation and famine. Then the commies have the gaul to say the people prayed for bread and God did not provide, so Lenin gave them it (the very person obviously impeding it being initially given).

I just got fired yesterday and my newly adult ADHD diagnosis is the cause. I'm a woman now who was diagnosed with a leraning disability in the early 90's. That learning disability was actually ADHD inattentive type . I just lost my dad a couple of months ago. Now I'm worried about getting a job and being able to see a therapist. I've never lost a job before and just depressed hiding in my bed. I feel horrible. Ive never felt so misunderstood in my life. I had ADA forms filled out and I asked for two tiny accommodations. To close the door of the office to lessen outside distractions and to wear headphone with whitenoise while I worked. They did the opposite to bully me out of my job.

Bravo 👏🏻 excellent speech !!!! ❤ I agree 👍🏻

Was it not eugenics when we allowed rest homes to be cut off from support during the lockdowns?

I want to give up, i want to close myself off and be you know "stagnant" and let the world leave me behind, i have been having bouts of depression that its affecting my daily life and relation.

I was never like this it started in 2019 when I was 19 my dad got diagnosed with cancer towards the late stages he struggled like hell till he passed away in 2022 this was a turning point in my life my sister was doing a 5 years course in NID(national institute of design) a very expensive course well for us any how and since we couldn't stop her studies right after investing so much and I was doing an industrial relations course in a somewhat well know college which was somewhat affordable way less than my sisters so I dropped out of college and started any job I could find, food delivery, warehouse worker, daily wage jobs and in a consultancy.

I had to do this as we were a well below middle class family, my dad was a pastor and teached in a Theological department for a university as well as tutoring music we lived pay check to pay check with my mom even finding out ways to do a side business.

Come 2022 after my dad passed we were neck deep in debt due to all the overall medical expenses and still yet to pay off, working day in day out for chump change and at first I could take it all but as time passed i totally burnt out but have no option to keep moving forward as due to my mom and her worsening health I am the only bread winner and that is the only reason I could move forward, there are times I fantasize about running away and building my own home in the middle of a forest and live there and have had made an attempt on my own life as well.

For the past few years I moved to a soul sucking international call center corporate, as the pay was goodish at my current qualification and had to face 25-40 customer whose daily intention are to make me feel as shit as possible while i some one from a 3rd world country talk to my 1st world customers, recently through hard work was promoted to a team lead which is an even more demanding role all this while taking a college BBA course as that was my dads final wish for me, these past few years have changed me with me being pretty good-looking previously (opinion of others, I have always considered myself way below average) but come now with years of working without vacations and regular changes to shift as well as graveyard shifts i currently look 7 years older than i currently am(23 about to be 24) i have gained weight lost friends due to no contact as well as every chance i get i shut myself off in my room, thats the only time i feel at peace and the thought of going to work or college scare the shit out if me but still have no option but to move forward.

I dont even think I have another year of this shit left in me have been running on empty for a while, though i really dont want to compare seeing my old friends who are the same age as me getting fancy cars, vacations, going abroad, going out having a physically healthy family with no financial burden it sort of makes me feel insignificant and small.

Mom's health have been declining and she even had a mild stroke previously being diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes and bad nerve damage on her back.

I dream of the day i can live on a small farm just by myself in the middle of nowhere, thats my goal in life right now preferably retire and life near the Alps in Switzerland, and I definitely can relate to where these hikikomori are coming from as thats what gives me peace for the short while i stay as a shut in during my one weekly off i get (i get two offs in a week but one goes for college i dont have any fixed offs it will keep changing).

Just wanted to let things out i suppose.

Luca is the god of his own world… a life entirely made possible by the Bank of Mom & Dad.

I think I might be the purest shape of hikikomori. I withdrawled from getting a job, from having a partner, having kids, hance even friends, I don't need them either. I do my thing. I feel the happiest ever. I go around too, I'm not like stuck between walls or something, I'm just staying away from things I already mention. Hikikomori has this connotation as being something bad or something depressing, but it can be the most beautiful thing. I think in Japan depression is often interpreted as kikikomori. These two are two different things.

Nto the better help ad !!

No coherent points have been made. I am amazed how all over the place this video is. Confusing hikikomoris, mental illness, and luka who seems honestly like a sick and lazy person is incredibly stupid.

Love your video and ideas. Thank you. So much insight.

What has happened in Japan, will happen in other places eventually. 🙂

I lived it for a couple of years in my early 20's. High speed internet and MMO's were a new thing, and I just wanted to get high and play video games. But eventually pride got to me. So I put my head down and went to work. I didn't think about being on the hamster wheel, I just did it. And I got better and better. I found my wife. I found my career. And now I have 2 kids, the white picket fence, and a good income. That improvement feels good. Tackling things you never thought you could do, like leading a group of men. Or give a presentation. How do you know you can't do it unless you get out there, grind and find out?

For their to be freedom there needs to be people who can opt out of the system and that’s also an important factor of freedom

I used to be a hikikomori, and in many ways, I still am. However, I'm tired of living this way. I'm doing my best to reconnect with myself and others who share similar experiences. I believe there is still hope because everyone deserves to feel happy and at peace.

demand Ketamine Assisted Therapy to achieve clarity so you can survive and fight

I'm not wanting to really get any sympathy or attention (I'm just wanting to get this off my chest)

It's currently 8:07am, and I haven't gone to sleep yet. Idk what exactly happened, but in something I could really explain as some sort of clarity, I just remembered this video, and remembered the term "Hikkikomori". I don't even think I remembered the term until a few minutes ago.

I uh...hate to say this, but I think I've become a hikkikomori. I don't even remember when this has started happening. I'm sure I'm sleep deprived, and im going to regret this comment later on, but I just dont know anymore. Im tired but im terrified to go to sleep. And i dont even know why im not wanting to sleep to begin with.

I've lost control of my life, and I don't want to regain control of it.

Edit: oh dear lord this crap looks like a cry for help .-.

hikikomoris need an enabler to survive. to give them money, to pay their rent etc. It's a lot like how morbidly obese people have enablers who fund and feed their addiction. Take away the enabler and hikikomoris have no choice but get up and survive

deeply appreciate your work!

your take on psychiatric hospitals is incredibly short sighted, what has closing them all down resulted in? take a look at every major liberal city in US and Can, its filled with homeless people addicted to drugs and severe mental issues. Literal shitholes. With free drugs and "safe injections sites"... the "stuff that they need". How's that working out for us? Crime is exploding, businesses downtown are closing.

Also eugenics has never stopped. Look up Margaret Sanger and her eugenics operation in business and as popular as ever.

And of course u quote marx, another brainwashed liberal marxist arts student.

I have been a neet all my life, i am documenting my life on it on my main channel this is better than real life at this point

Capitalism has its huge flaws and im all for helping those that struggle, but what about the major flaws of implementation of karl marxs ideas? How are current proclaimed communist countries doing now? We can only look back to recent historical events like the vietnam war and the resulting treatment of vietnamese people. Places in lao are burning books and silencing intellectuals. So I believe there needs to be another solution.

Nah it's only me. Everyone else around me is so important perfect and have lives. The have lives because the sit in front of buildings all day, ride motorcycles loudly, and enjoy heatwavew...🙄

I got a big ol tummy I have a massive stomach I'm fat as shit mmmmm I got a potbelly goblin body uuuhhh huuuh hmmmmm

Weak people depend on social security, but communist policies make EVERYONE more weak.

Mouse utopia

It's my dream soon outside world is garbage...I am living here in Japan

In an effort to “lighten” the financial burden on the healthcare system, the British Columbia government closed many of it’s psychiatric hospitals which then created a larger population of homeless in the Downtown East Side who have been preyed on by drug dealers to “help” them manage their mental health, since they have been abandoned by the healthcare system. Women have been exploited by sex traffickers as well. We now have a neighbourhood which is like an open air psychiatric hospital full of homelessness, mental health crises, hard drug use and sex trafficking. I am not convinced that the deinstitutionalizing of psychiatric patients was the best option. I think hospitals should have transitioned into social housing with supported living and healthcare support. But instead, they just closed them down and left a vulnerable population to be preyed on by organized crime. With the opiate/fentanyl crisis we have a demographic who is literally forced into theft or sex work just to manage their addiction. This then further damages their relationship to the larger community, (stigmas around mental health, fear for the safety of children in the neighbourhood, break-ins and theft).

I think you need to distinguish between what is ACTUALLY going on in these neighbourhoods, and the distorted sanist narratives of the political class for their own political gain. Unless you actually live in one of these neighbourhoods, your view is more voyeuristic and “anthropologic” and prone to your own class assumptions rather than the knowledge from actual lived experience. In any case, I don’t think it can be summed up in a 20 minute video.

I never thought of myself as one but I guess I am this world isn't sunshine and rainbows it can be cruel to outcasts withdrawal from the pain is acceptable to me if people keep treating you like crap then to heck with them and it is no measure of sanity to be well adjusted to a deeply sick society

Luka is 100% in the wrong for not getting a job to support his disabled mother.

It's comforting to know the 30 year old living in mom's basement stereotype is sorta dying out and being recognized as something else. I'm 20, I've had 3 jobs, I don't have a drivers license. I never really go outside. I abuse substances to cope with the trauma that comes from being autistic. This used to be that "30 year old living in their mom's basement" stereotype but people are seeing it differently now. it's comforting to know some people simply can't cope with the state of everything right now so they sorta drop out of the game that is late stage capitalism and everything else that comes from it.

I think it's interesting how gen z (I'm gen z) is collectively coming to the conclusion that we aren't meant to work our entire lives in exchange to simply have the right to live. It's also interesting that we are the first generation to have technology like phones or computers so accessible right outta the womb. I think that makes it much easier to connect (obvioulsy) but it also makes it much easier to see what's REALLY going on. With all this information and connection that comes from technology, we are what I could only describe as "waking up". Being gen z feels like being awake in a world that's asleep. But ever so slightly, slowly but surely, we are waking everyone else up too. It's not realistic to expect to go from this dystopia that is late stage capitalism to a utopia more like socialism within a couple years or decades, but it's what I fantasize about. This fantasy really is what keeps me going instead of offing myself. Even if that fantasy will almost definitly not become a reality in my lifetime or maybe ever, we as humans can try our damn hardest to get as close as possible to it.

I can relate to this 💯 and I've basically done it all my life from jails to males to jobs to bosses

what am i even supposted to do with my life theres nothing enjoyable the closest thing i get to enjoyment is shit i do indoors but its lonely and bland on scenery and if i tried to make friends i wouldn't even where to start id screw up talking and miss out on the opportunity of befriending them and if i did even get into a relationship i would just be too inexperienced and drive them away

Slavery never goes away, just rebranding

We are not allowed to hunt, fish or love off the land without permission. In a capitalist society, these shut ins are a byproduct.

All of this!!!

Naive liberal economic theories.
The US spends a greater portion of it GDP on social expenditures than any other Western country. The gov does not generate wealth-- the money it spends comes from citizens. The gov cannot reasonably be responsible for all the personal problems of its citizens.

I am not sure anyone will see this or acknowledge it but I hope you do. I was very popular in school and an all A student. As life went on I went through too many traumas to count. Unrequited love by every I've ever liked. Denile from five "friend" groups over 10 years. I am disabled and cannot get out as I was injured in an accident. School became too hard studying for more than 700hrs and only getting algebra 2 at a C+. I am an adult now and no longer socialize because everyone has their own life so they will only meetup once every two months that's when I leave my room. They often fail to consider the US but we exist and wish there were programs for us ❤

どうもありがとうございました！皆さん、頑張れましょう(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧＼(*⌒0⌒)♪！Thank you very much! Let’s do our best to, everyone! ハレルヤ！🌷ஐ೨🌸🐝🌸ஐ೨🌷！Hallelujah!

The steady disability payments is litteraly what allows these people to exist. They lack the will to succeed and the current avaialble jobs are ignoble, so they refuse to particpiate in socieity, and they don't need to because they can live off welfare. MORE WELFARE will never solve this.
"unhoused" emarassing video lmao

私はとても悪い国に住んでいて、お金がなくて醜いです、私が選んだわけではありません、私には運がありません、私は家にいるのが好きで、私の人生はソーシャルネットワークに費やされています。私はそれが大好きです、それは私を幸せで平和でストレスフリーにしてくれます

when I'm depressed I keep thinking about how my life has no value in out system bc ultimately if I can't work and perform I deserve to die, and it's the same for every other person
so like am I depressed then or just miserable under existing circumstances

we accidentally put adler-bolton's "psychiatric imaginary" article twice; the one on eugenics is called “Eugenics and the Economic Valuation of Life” and it is linked in the bibliography in the description
