Summary: Protesting against financial fraud is now a crime, punishable as though it's worse than the fraud

I GENERALLY don't believe in borrowing from the future (or speculations regarding the future). A lot of society now treats going into debt as a normal thing (sometimes inevitability), but we should remember that calling oneself a "house owner" when it's actually a bank the owns the house while the so-called "house owner" is just a "mortgage payer", i.e. debt slave, is a form of brainwash for the impatient -- a shortcut to cushion an illusion of ownership.

In recent years adolescent were pushed into the debt treadmill. It weakens or even paralyses tomorrow's adults. The tuition fees were increased rapidly and price hikes like that just make education a luxury of debt takers or rich children, not a human right (in some nations higher education is still free). In the US, this has turned into a federal business [1] and in the UK it is now being privatised [2] (essentially corruption). This is one among many injustices, induced by lobbying from the financial pseudo-industry.

Those who speak out against financial injustices have mostly enjoyed their freedom of speech... until now. Based on [3], protest now leads to prison. Sad times. So the criminals (of the most expensive form) don't go to jail; those who protest against the criminals go to jail. Wall Street (institutions of wealth) has useful alliances with institutions of power and it shows. ⬆
