How long until "Lying Flat" takes off abroad? It's the ultimate form of protest against an unjust society
I'm an early adopter
>>223990208>China has classified "lying flat" as a national security risk and labels people lying flat as terroristsGOY YOU NEED TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY 6 DAYS A WEEK LIKE A LITTLE BUG LIKE MARX WANTED
what does it mean? i already lay flat at my home, doing nothing
>>223990357marx doesn't want you to work 12 hours 6 days a week but the oligarchs running your country would love it if you did and are doing their everything to ensure that is what you will be doing in the future
>>223990358Based. Keep it up king
Yeah sorry jew. I'm going to stay home and jerk off
>>223990389Nah. I'm pretty sure Marx said you have to live in a 6 by 6 apartment and work all day all night in a live leak video factory. It's in the communist manifesto
>>223990428damn I didn't know liveleak was that old
>>223990208I'm lying fat. My spaceship is really big.
Another newer related phrase is bai lan (Chinese: 摆烂; pinyin: bǎi làn; lit. 'let it rot'), which means "to actively embrace a deteriorating situation, rather than trying to turn it around".
Arbeit macht frei
>Have the lowest birth rate in all of human existence (even lower than South Korea's when you take into account the gender ratio imbalance)>Lets just work these little buggies even harder!At current projections by 2100 China will have 400 million people with 60% of them being over the age of 65 and 80% of them being over the age of 40 (the age necessary for reproduction) and since the gender imbalance is actually growing rather than shrinking this will leave only 70 million birthing age women who will have to financially support all the dying boomers.Is the CCP retarded?
>>223990545>Is the CCP retarded?Xi is the equivalent of our boomers, he's got a very boomer-y outlook on the world.>We aren't having enough kids>"Hmm ban the video games and make them play more sports, that will make Chinese boys more manly"That's just one example lol
>>223990545They will allow cloning before that, but it is not relevant anyway because the co2 levels in the atmosphere will reach toxic levels well before 2100 anyway, causing global population levels to drop by 95-99% (the rest living underground with air filtration systems)
>>223990545They created covid specifically to counteract this by killing off the boomers but sadly were too incompetent to carry it out to its planned execution
>>223990527i design factories for a living fuck off with your arbeid macht frei bullshit hard work is never an ideal or something valued
LDAR has been a thing for a while now
>>223990208I remember Jiang implying the "quiet quitting" in the US is basically the same as lying flat in China
>>223990208>NEET :/>NEET, China :O
>>223991156Lying flat is not even NEET. It's just doing minimum requirement at work
>>223990545Do you think chinese work harder now than they did 30 years ago, I doubt it but I don't rightly know
>>223991246Yes. It's called "effort inflation". Every generation has to work harder than the last just to be seen as normal while the reward for the hard work is less and less
everything is fake and gay
>>223991282Yeah I guess so
>>223990208We already have this in a milder form, it's just the norm in thirdie countries.
>>223990545you think ccp arent thinking a way to cull most, if not, all of their elders? this is ccp we are talking about.see>>223990635
>>223991404>Per workerThat's the thing. It only counts workers and doesn't count the fact that both men and women work now which doubles the competition and doubles the effort a family must put in. I would work 50 hours a week if I came home to a loving wife who had dinner ready. Now both man and woman must work so when you go home both must cook and raise kid.
>>223991532Chinese culture worships elderly. On the Confucian hierarchy old people are higher and the government is all old people. Boomers won't genocide themselves.
>>223990208I lie flat not because of protesting but because I'm such an energy sapped slacker that I can't do much else besides sit on my computer, every time I try to focus on something I quickly get tired and either take a nap or play computer games.
>>223991799I thought women already worked a lot even under mao
>>223991934Yes. Mao was the start of their dystopia. But each year the effort inflation increases. No one in Asia will have kids when each must work 50 hour weeks minimum. Selling the future for short term economic gains
>>223992115I feel their system positions them uniquely well to (further) change the retirement age, to outsource services to Africa, to blitz towards healthcare robots at the expense of general welfare or to suddenly bring in 10 million Indonesians
>>223990406>man who has never struggled once in his life telling regular people they need to struggledamn China is a lot more like the USA than I thought
>>223991855the secret is so is everybody else who's pretending neetdom is a revolutionary act to try and delude themselves into believing they have any agency or control over their own lives. welcome to the club
