No student should pay off their loans. If enough people stopped, the system would collapse under its own weight. Student loan debt in the U.S. sits at over $1.7 trillion — not because education is valuable, but because it’s profitable. That debt is packaged, sold, and used to prop up banks, inflate balance sheets, and fund government-backed profits. It’s not just about repayment — it’s about obedience. A mass refusal would cripple the very institutions that turned education into a financial trap. The moment we stop feeding the machine, it breaks. Not because we’re reckless — but because we’re done being exploited.
