Sun Kitty ☀️Worth considering "lying flat" is less about avoiding happiness and more about preserving the nervous system.
IMHO: Many are choosing to honour their deep selves instead of glorifying the "hustle" that leads to chronic bracing and burnout.
Instead of judging the lack of traditional productivity, we should look deeper.
Compassion means understanding that a system reset is often the first step toward true, long-term self-respect.

> "If we have indeed entered 'garbage time', then I think young people could accumulate skills or do something creative, such as selling things via social media or making handicrafts."

ashnodChina can't seem to get its young college graduates into the workforce.
Young people in China are fed up with their employment prospects, so they're becoming "full-time children," "lying flat," and sprawling on the ground like a zombie.

demi7en 🎗🇪🇺The case for ‘lying flat’ (躺平)? 🤔
🇨🇳 CCP's subjects are working their asses off — building their own prison. Think about it.
The never-elected #dictatorship is nothing without its voiceless and rightless 'masses' as a labour force.
Now with the added pervasive #surveillance panopticon — achieved with foreign inventions and technology — those subjects have practically zero chance of ever organizing functional resistance against their armed overlords.
💡️ The only ways of *not collaborating* with their repressors are either 1) fleeing into exile or... 2) "lying flat" (躺平).
That is, doing the absolute minimum to survive without participating in any productive pursuits aiding the regime.
A (far) more dangerous option would, of course, be working to instill the #UnitedNations enshrined civil liberties which the CCP consider as its existential threat...
