Day 6: Friendships
It's messy :( Dakota belongs to @theleviathanslair

Welcome!
This is a blog dedicated to The Products of Predator AU. Ran by @theleviathanslair and @kayawatts.
Hey! I am The Leviathan. Though I also go by Blue or Ava! I am the owner of this AU, it started as a fun way of me building a story for my fankids, which then expanded it into much more!
I am a lover of all things creative; and I am forever improving on my digital art skills. Outside of this AU I have countless original characters, fankids and AUs; even ones unrelated to Sonic. Some of the AUs you'll see will be built off of this one, as what if scenarios.
This blog will be where me and Kaya store lore, character information and more! Though you are always free to ask questions, which we absolutely encourage!
All art relevant to The Products of Predator characters will be on their respective Toyhouses, you can find our Toyhouse links on our main blogs; and down below. Anything to do with me and my answers will be in blue.
Hello everyone! My name is Kaya Watts, and I'm the co-owner of The Products of Predator AU. I primarily work as the writer, though I also help smooth out plot holes and contribute artwork when needed!
I’m a passionate and creative world-builder, and I’m proud to own several of the AU’s characters <3 I'm so excited to share this AU with everyone and I hope you like it just as much as me and Ava do.
Feel free to ask me, or any of the characters anything! My text colour here is green, that's how you'll know I'm writing ;)

🔮 THE FUTURE OF STUDENT DEBT: DYSTOPIA OR REVOLUTION?
What happens next depends on what WE do next ✊
THE CURRENT MOMENT: A CROSSROADS
🎯 WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW:
42.7 million Americans trapped in student debt
$1.78 trillion total debt and growing
Political system designed to protect lenders
Legal system that makes escape impossible
But also: Growing awareness and resistance
⚡ THE AWAKENING:
Gen Z and Millennials understand the scam
Cross-racial coalitions forming around debt relief
Political pressure forcing policy responses
Corporate resistance shows we're threatening their profits
SCENARIO 1: THE DYSTOPIAN TIMELINE 💀
If We Do Nothing:
2025-2030:
Debt reaches $2.5 trillion as more students borrow
Default rates spike during next recession
Wage garnishment becomes normal for entire generation
Private loan expansion as federal programs get cut
Intergenerational poverty as parents and children both trapped
2030-2040:
Social Security garnishment affects millions of retirees
Housing crisis deepens as young people can't buy homes
Birth rates plummet as debt makes families unaffordable
Brain drain accelerates as educated Americans emigrate
Economic stagnation from reduced consumer spending
2040+:
Permanent debtor class of educated Americans
Hereditary debt as family poverty perpetuates
Educational apartheid where only rich kids can afford college
Social unrest as economic mobility disappears completely
SCENARIO 2: THE REVOLUTIONARY TIMELINE 🔥
If We Fight Back:
2025-2030:
Mass debt strike forces government action
Electoral pressure delivers progressive majorities
Comprehensive debt cancellation through legislative action
Free public college prevents future debt accumulation
Banking reform eliminates predatory lending
2030-2040:
Economic boom as young people spend instead of servicing debt
Innovation surge as people can afford career risks
Housing recovery as millennials/Gen Z enter market
Family formation increases as finances stabilize
Wealth gap narrows as education creates actual mobility
2040+:
Education as public good like K-12 schooling
Meritocracy restoration where talent matters more than wealth
Generational justice achieved through systematic reform
Economic democracy where education doesn't create debt bondage
THE INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE:
🌍 HOW OTHER COUNTRIES DO IT:
Germany:
Public universities: €0-500/semester tuition
Living stipends: Government pays students to attend
Result: Highly educated workforce, strong economy, no debt crisis
France:
Public university tuition: €170-380/year for EU students
Quality education: World-class institutions
Student support: Housing assistance, meal subsidies
Nordic Countries:
Free tuition: Even for international students
Living allowances: Students get paid to study
Economic outcomes: Highest social mobility in world
🇺🇸 AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM:
Most expensive higher education in developed world
Highest student debt levels globally
Lowest social mobility among peer nations
Richest country with most educated population living in debt
THE CORPORATE RESISTANCE:
💰 WHY THEY'LL FIGHT US:
Loan Servicers:
$1.8 billion annually in government contracts at risk
Stock prices tied to debt collection volume
Executive compensation based on revenue from our misery
Private Lenders:
15% profit margins on student loans vs 3% on mortgages
Guaranteed collection through bankruptcy protection
Political influence through campaign contributions
Colleges/Universities:
Tuition revenue depends on easy loan money
Administrative bloat funded by ever-increasing costs
Endowment growth prioritized over affordability
🎭 THEIR TACTICS:
Divide and conquer: "Forgiveness unfair to responsible borrowers"
Victim blaming: "Personal responsibility" messaging
Legal warfare: Endless court challenges to relief
Political capture: Lobbying, campaign contributions, revolving door
WHAT WE CAN DO: THE RESISTANCE PLAYBOOK
🗳️ ELECTORAL POLITICS:
Primary Elections:
Vote in primaries where student debt is a litmus test
Support candidates who pledge comprehensive relief
Reject incrementalism - demand full debt cancellation
Single-issue voting until problem is solved
General Elections:
Youth turnout is everything - they need our votes
Down-ballot races matter - state AGs can challenge predatory lending
Ballot initiatives on education funding where possible
Cross-generational organizing - connect with affected parents
🚫 DIRECT ACTION:
Debt Strikes:
Collective refusal to pay until demands met
Safety in numbers - individual strikes fail, mass strikes succeed
Strategic timing - coordinate with election cycles
Media attention - make debt strike a national story
Corporate Targeting:
Boycott loan servicers and their parent companies
Shareholder activism at Navient, Nelnet, etc.
Protest at headquarters and executive homes
Disrupt business operations through legal demonstrations
Educational Disruption:
Campus organizing against tuition increases
Alumni pressure on university endowment policies
Trustee accountability - challenge board members
Graduation protests to highlight debt burden
💡 POLICY SOLUTIONS WE NEED:
Immediate Relief:
✅ Full debt cancellation - not just $10k or $50k, ALL of it
✅ Interest rate elimination - 0% on all existing loans
✅ Bankruptcy restoration - allow discharge like any debt
✅ Garnishment prohibition - end wage and benefit seizure
Systemic Reform:
✅ Free public college - funded like K-12 education
✅ Tuition caps for private schools receiving federal aid
✅ Endowment taxes on wealthy universities hoarding money
✅ Living stipends for students from working families
Financial Justice:
✅ Banking regulation - end predatory student lending
✅ Corporate accountability - criminal charges for loan fraud
✅ Reparative justice - extra relief for targeted communities
✅ Wealth taxes to fund education as public good
THE GENERATIONAL MISSION:
👥 WHO WE'RE FIGHTING FOR:
Current Borrowers:
Immediate relief from crushing debt burden
Mental health recovery from financial trauma
Life restoration - marriage, family, homeownership possible again
Career freedom to pursue passion over profit
Future Students:
Debt-free education as fundamental right
Merit-based opportunities not wealth-based selection
Innovation unleashed when smart kids can afford college
Economic mobility through education not debt
Society Overall:
Economic growth from increased consumer spending
Innovation boom from risk-taking ability
Social justice through equal educational access
Democracy strengthened by educated, non-indebted citizenry
THE MOVEMENT WE'RE BUILDING:
🔥 SIGNS OF HOPE:
Political Momentum:
Student debt now major campaign issue
Progressive candidates winning with debt relief platforms
Mainstream Democrats moving left on issue
Even some Republicans acknowledge crisis
Cultural Shift:
Shame reduction - debt seen as systemic not personal
Collective action replacing individual suffering
Cross-class solidarity as middle class joins working class
Intergenerational alliance between parents and children
Economic Pressure:
Housing market stagnation forcing policy attention
Consumer spending patterns showing debt impact
Labor market effects as workers demand wage premiums
Retirement crisis looming from garnished Social Security
YOUR ROLE IN THE REVOLUTION:
🎯 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
Political:
Register to vote and vote in EVERY election
Primary challenge politicians who won't commit to full relief
Call representatives monthly about student debt
Join local political organizations with debt relief platforms
Economic:
Refuse to pay private loans if safe to do so
Document abuse by loan servicers for legal action
Support mutual aid for struggling borrowers
Divest from companies profiting from student debt
Social:
Share your story to reduce shame and build solidarity
Educate others about how the system actually works
Support affected friends with practical help
Challenge victim-blaming narratives wherever you see them
THE FINAL TRUTH:
This isn't about individual financial responsibility - it's about collective liberation.
💪 WE HAVE THE POWER:
42.7 million borrowers = massive voting bloc
Intergenerational impact = even larger coalition
Economic leverage = our labor and consumption matter
Moral authority = we're fighting for justice, they're fighting for profit
🔥 THEY HAVE THE SYSTEM:
But systems can be changed
When enough people refuse to participate
When voting becomes organized resistance
When silence becomes solidarity
THE CHOICE IS OURS:
Will we accept permanent debt bondage as the price of education?
Or will we demand that in the richest country in human history, learning shouldn't require a lifetime of financial servitude?
The student debt crisis ends when we decide it ends.
Not when politicians allow it. Not when corporations agree. Not when the system fixes itself.
When WE decide we've had enough.
🔥 THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW. 🔥
Education should unlock human potential, not lock people in debt. We have the power to make that a reality - we just have to use it. ✊
