When I was in school I was guilty for not working. When I was working, I just worked.
Then I took time off, the feeling came back almost immediately.
This is not an objective fact about reality (one must work) or even a good thing (a lot of work ranges from neutral to net negative to pointless in absolute value).
Its just the culture we live in.
Once I was in a car with a friend and we were leaving a Walmart. There was a man with no arms with a sign. My friend said, "Why doesn't he just get a job".
When people need help we give them a boot to the face, usually.
Think about the morals of a society that tells children they're no good failures that will never amount to anything. That sorts and grades them "average", "above average", "below average". And a system that forces them into increasing levels of com[petition for a tiny number of jobs with social prestige.
Sure, we SAY all work is valuable or deserves respect, but that is plainly not true. We look down on people who make less money, people who don't work, can't work. Conversely, we endow people who happen to have won the genetic lottery, and survived the social darwinism of schooling, with esteem beyond any expectation.
The system is successful insofar as we internalize it- if successful we endorse the system, reify the system, and we accept its values as self-evident virtues.
Unfortunately this is how populations elect leaders that oppress them. Its how abuse gets institutionalized. Its how societies and cultures collapse, as over time, the damage becomes so severe it implodes the structures that maintain quality of life.
The brainwashed are twice victims. First, in the destruction of their freedom to know what virtue is, and then, when they lay their own bodies on the altar.
Even if a wageslave aspires to NEETdom, he will face hostility from every angle, including his own mind, to the degree it has been colonized.
