Leaving only the children of the wealthy the freedom to be creative.
What, you'd rather have Pulp or the Beatles over Mumford and Sons or Chris Rock?
The other piece of this puzzle is higher education is the pathway out of generational poverty, but if you make it unaffordable without aid then you can con young people into risking their necks for colonialist oil wars in exchange for GI Bill tuition assistance
This was always the plan, students have historically been the first domino to fall in many major revolutions. This effectively neuters them from the ability to rise up against the system. Can't protest when you are living paycheck to paycheck with life crippling debt. Unless of course, you destroy the whole system that holds your debt.
@blibla
Might I add that the last few decades we’ve medicated our children so that they no longer have any creativity left in them.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
