an adult, though no longer a student, who does not have full-time employment and all the benefits that comes with it. Instead, a freeter chooses to work part-time or hold down odd jobs, even while full time employment is available.

Being a freeter means having more flexibility and freedom than someone with a permanent job. Freeters usually do not earn enough money to have their own home, so they often stay at home with their parents indefinitely, or else rent rooms in others' homes.
In today's economy, it's hard to know if a part-time employee is a freeloader or freeter, or is simply struggling to survive.

The freetard's entire identity is based around using free and open source software such as Linux, and he spends every waking hour of every day writing self-serving propaganda as to why he is superior to anyone who uses software whose licensing does not allow you to reverse engineer/copy/modify and then release your own version of somebody else's work.
"Hey guys, can you help me get this game installed on Windows 10?"
"You use Micro$oft Windows? Don't you know that software doesn't respect your freedoms? You should use GNU/Linux like me! BTW, I use Arch."

A freeter in Japanese means someone in their 20's who is moving from job to job, mainly part time jobs which pay small wages. There are 3 types of freeters, ones who are seeking their dream careers thus doing these odd jobs, those who refuse to become 'wage slaves', and mostly those who have no choice.
