Due to the overwhelming amounts of people trying to force us into work,

we NEETs have created the NEET Household Defense Force.

We must protect our homes.

We must not let our lives be ruined by work and responsibility.

This is a recruitment post from amino.apps aimed at young NEETs, inviting them to join their imaginary army. NEET stands for Not (in) Education, Employment, or Training, a term used to categorize so-called "inactive" individuals between the ages of 18 and 30.

NEETs are numerous worldwide. In Italy, for example, approximately 26% of young people are inactive, but it is in East Asia—especially Japan and South Korea—that the NEET phenomenon has evolved into a social movement with its own identity and symbolism, spreading through digital platforms.

Strongly embedded in otaku culture, the NEET movement has ironically created the Not Employed Embattled Team (NEET), a cosplay outfit consisting of a full-fledged military uniform but themed around NEET ideology, featuring slogans like "We must protect our homes."

The title of the work, Pour En Finir Avec Le Travail (To finish with the work / to finish the work), is the same as a compilation of revolutionary proletarian songs from various Marxist revolutionary traditions in Central and Eastern Europe.

The various clothes and accessories are discarded, thrown to the ground as if they were worthless, like the remnants of a lost battle. This abandonment is meant to highlight the fundamental characteristics of these new revolutionary movements: passivity, disillusionment, and a sense of powerlessness.

While traditional revolutionary movements—both past and present—have always been driven by a forward-looking force, capable of imagining better horizons and willing to fight to build them, phenomena like Hikikomori and NEETs are disorganized and scattered, driven not by a resolute plan but rather by a lack of desire for the future.
