Institutionalised Economic Repression

Economic repression is when people are forced to take on financial shackles in order to progress in society. For instance, if someone wants a house of their own they must take out a mortgage; if a person wants a university degree they invariably require a student loan. But once they have these things, their opportunities for doing what they want with their lives are significantly curtailed as they have to devote a large proportion of their time towards repaying those huge debts. This form of repression then becomes institutionalised when everyone simply takes it for granted as being 'the only way things are so you may as well just get used to it'. People are blinded to possible ideological alternatives and allow themselves to be shepherded by the greedy, the manipulative and the corrupt. It bothers me a great deal that I appear to be one of the only people in the whole world able to see this clearly; which is why I write about it now, in the extremely vain hope that one day somebody else will read this and understand.
