Happy Sunday! I hope you got to do at least one thing that you love today. Onto the news…
The News
I was today years old when I found out that the federal government owns 92 percent of the 1.6 trillion-dollar student loan debt.
How should you feel about this news?
Well, betrayed if you thought the government was your friend, but not surprised if you know the truth, which is the government isn’t your friend and they are here to enable your exploitation. Think of the US government as a meal prepper, and corporations as a bodybuilder who needs meals prepped because they don’t have time to cook, and yourself as a tasty meal.
Why am I a tasty meal, you ask?
Because the government’s real constituents are corporations and billionaires, that’s why. See the best way to makes sure workers are well prepped for maximum exploitation by corporations is to make them desperate. One way to do that is to make sure that even though basic necessities like food and clothing are abundant, you make them only available to people who work. So if you don’t work, you die. Hence, you’ll do most things, including peeing in a bottle to meet your work quotas, if you have to.
Another way to make sure people work is to keep them in debt, so they’re forced to work to pay their debt off. That’s what the government is doing. Instead of taking all the money, which they clearly had to provide free college tuition, they were like, but what if we helped out our buddies the corporations and make these kids so desperate that they’ll work for anything just to pay off this massive debt…queue evil laugh. Debt is a powerful weapon used by the elite to keep us working because they know no one likes their job. I mean no one. And if you are like, no Marcela, I like my job. Then why do you take vacations?
The reality is most of us wouldn’t be working these jobs if we didn’t have to, so they force us. So next time someone asks you why you are interviewing for a job. Be honest and say, because the US government is holding me hostage with student debt, because they are.
That’s the news, but don’t leave yet…

I have been learning so much about anarchist praxis from The Anarchist Environmentalist.
