I think this will be a coercive leverage to “encourage” military conscription.

Massive student loans? Sign on the line for 10 years fighting to kill citizens of other countries like Panama and Canada, and your loans will be discharged!

Specific loans like student loans could also act as triggers to deny passports and other ways of escaping the country.

Republicans always crash the economy.

Do Americans not have eyes?

How do they not see this pattern?

I think you’re looking at this the wrong way. They’re in a death cult. They want this. They want anyone who is opposed to them to suffer as much as possible even if it means destroying their country in the process. This is what “owning the libs” is about, and it’s all they have left because their pathetic ideology can only make things worse for the working class.

I don't think most of the cultists actually want it to crash. Sure, there's a subset of accellerationists, and for sure they want to teach their enemies a lesson, but I think for the most part, they think that everyone is lying, overreacting, or it's just temporary and things will be much better afterwards. The problem is, they can't ever get out of that modality because of the sunk cost. No matter how bad things get.

I stopped paying mine. It was homelessness or student loans. Fuck em. If they can write off billions of small business loans, they can write off my student loans. Fuck that game.

remember to get paid under the table whenever you can, so they can't garnish your wages. you might take a pay hit, but it will be a smaller bite than your loans take.

Just remember the two pieces of shit that sued to stop student loan forgiveness. I think one of them had PPP loans forgiven.

These fossils still think that Millennials are kids. Bro, my kids are almost in high school, my back hurts, I feel this flesh prison decaying around me. I'm entering the part of my life where I'm traditionally supposed to be the most economically advantaged, and this bullshit is going to basically nuke my generation's ability to participate in the economy, because we were all told that we need to go to college to have a good life.

i was in high school when my parents were my age and i think that this generation's purpose has become a sacrifice to the capitalist meat grinder; same as the generation during the depression.

At this point I pray for an afterlife so that I actually have a life I can enjoy
