This is just the first step towards something else. But they need a first step that is not too scary. Once you get used to it then it goes to the next step and so on until complete slavery. Not middle age type slavery but psychological slavery where nothing belongs to you anymore, not even your self. So you will do whatever you are told, since you otherwise have no concept of possibly having other resources to survive. Frog in the boiling water approach. And of course the debt will pass on to your family, etc...
- FilterSweep 10y ago> Not middle age type slavery but psychological slavery where nothing belongs to you anymore, not even your self Could one argue that almost all individuals who use the modern day internet ("Internet 2.0") with their identity and privacy unknowingly jeopardized are subject to this same psychological slavery? I think your comment spills over onto the rest of us, regardless of debt, after the Snowden disclosures. We are all frogs in the same pot of boiling water. There are some resources we have (such as end-to-end encryption), but for the most part, similar leverage is held over most of us.
