i remember reading the drive in the us after ww2 to get people into homes was in part motivated by a politics of surpressing uprising as people would be in fear of their mortgages. I have been recently thinking how much this same logic applies to student loan debts and related work arrangements. It makes sense to me that we have seen recently a new era of pre-uni-age protestors, Greta being the figurehead. These are the only demographic left with motive but without the threat of losing what they are indebted for, if you see what I mean.
