Shove off the Debt Boot on Our Necks
“The US is a militarized strip mall with nuclear weapons.” - SomeNYDude
Debt is an enslavement mechanism. What can not be done via physical force is enforced by law and financial markets. Our goal must be to eliminate the debt boot on the world’s neck so the world can breathe, enjoy lasting freedom and peace.
National Debt Clock as of 6th July, 2026 (1)
Take a long look at the above table. National debt owed by world governments is $110 trillion. The population of the world is 7.6 billion people. The average debt owed by each person is $14,403. A new baby born owes $14,403 before it takes one breath.
This colonial debt extraction system is not designed to help the world’s 7.6 billion people. It is designed to help the putrid elite of the Epstein Class. The total above does not include private debt, such as mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and because the US is so exceptionally cruel the total does not include US medical debt, student lunch debt, or student loan debt.
The inspiration for this piece comes from The Pugilist, written by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez here (2). The piece shows how Haiti won the war for independence in 1791 but had to pay back France who enslaved Haitians via debt for another 122 years.
What can an individual do to payback debt?
Three options.
- Pay off the debt in full
- Negotiate the debt lower
- Declare bankruptcy and nullify the debt
We are working on paying off our credit card and student loan debts. Make yourself richer, not the banks or credit card or auto loan companies. This is dependent on you, the reader, having enough income and job stability.
We must advocate for raising the minimum wage, here and worldwide, and pool our savings to help other people out of debt. Ideally, people would be paid the same purchasing power regardless of what country they live or where they live or their gender for similar work. We are forced to compete against ourselves in the name of fake competition. This must end.
We must advocate for universal healthcare for all. Every rich, civilized country has it, which means the US is rich and uncivilized. We must banish the source of medical debt.
We must advocate for university, college or higher studies for all. May our taxes flow to educating those who seek to improve their lot in life at any age. This will eliminate student loan debt.
The one debt that pickles me the most, nearest to my heart, we must eliminate school lunch debt and shaming young students and their parents for not having money to eat. In the richest country in the history of the world, the country where we waste the most food per capita compared to any other country, the one with the most bottom-feeding billionaires, we must make sure every student is fed breakfast and lunch, and eliminate school lunch debt.
The system by design makes getting out of debt difficult and to increase the total amount of debt over time. It is meant to economically rent seek the product of equity and labor to the financiers, not the doers. The high level of debt is the boot on our throats, expanded by war and death, an excuse to cut social services for the masses, and allowed tax cuts and subsidies to flow to the disgusting Epstein ruling class.
