Tyrants, I like to say, will always win. And then they will lose. Because ultimately their claim, their demand that their victory be eternal isn't reality. People can always fight back, and will always fight back. Wars are never won, and people are never conquered. Tyrants have some amount of time they can cling to power, but after that they're gone. Because everyone hates a tyrant. Everyone.
The only way for them to perpetuate the tyranny then is to convince you of the delusion. You believe you have to repay your debts, pay tribute to your conquerors. The reality is you only have to repay them while the cops are standing there forcing you to. Soon as they are busy elsewhere, it's not just your right, but your moral obligation to abandon your financial obligations. Repaying your debt is a pathetic failure, not a successful achievement. Once you realize that they engineered your beliefs, conditioning you to unconsciously enshrine debt repayment (i.e. slavery) as something noble and not vile, you start to feel like those women wearing burqas. You're no longer doing it because you believe women/people should be slaves; you're only doing it because you don't want to get stoned.
And the debt collectors do not have enough stones for all of us.
