You're not amnestying them. You're allowing them the option of bankruptcy, which already exists for pretty much every single other type of debt in the world.

Bankruptcy is not amnesty.

You can't compare it to illegal aliens, but if you did, it would be that they could be amnestied but have no access to any forms of welfare or government assistance for 10 years. And they couldn't bring anyone else with them, and if they leave they can't come back. And any new immigrants also can't have welfare for 10 years.

If you want to solve the problem of illegals, all you have to do is remove the welfare and government handouts. See how many stay when they don't get free housing and food.

Here's what I'm saying, amnesty is not a word that exclusively pertains to immigration, but it does in our political consciousness.

Forgetfulness; cessation of remembrance of wrong; oblivion. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/amnesty

So bankruptcy is amnestying someone of their debts. The metaphor works, because both groups are leftist-socialists are both groups will be ungrateful.

I understand what you're saying. But I still disagree on the basis that bankruptcy has lasting repercussions, and that enabling it as an option will change the entire game when it comes to education.

Also, I disagree that most are hardcore leftist fanatics. I am on the opinion that: they're in school, they get out and the job market is shit for their degree, and they own more money than they think they could ever pay back, and someone has given them an easy out with "socialism/communism". I don't think these are people that are willing to DIE for their cause. They're just opportunists.

Then if they can find work, they realise that they have to pay so much of it in taxes, and they become conservative very quickly.

Enable a bankruptcy option. No one is willing to loan money for shitty degrees anymore. No more students enrol in shitty Marxism degrees. No more Marxism.
