Usury

Of course people will protest against a consequence of usury and usury-unawareness.

People may protest against a range of issues related to usury, such as inequality, poverty, debt, and lack of access to financial services. (ao)

“You can protest, you can protest peacefully, but keep things civil.”

Tim Soutphommasane

In general, people may protest against usury as it can lead to a cycle of debt, making it difficult for people to escape poverty or achieve financial stability. People may also protest against usury as it can lead to a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, leading to further inequality. (ao)

Me: Will usury cause protests of people who don’t know they are protesting against the consequences of usury?

ChatGPT (jan23):

It is possible that protests against issues such as economic inequality and social injustice could be influenced by the presence of usury and a lack of awareness about its effects. Without understanding the underlying causes of these issues, it may be difficult for individuals to effectively address them through protest or other forms of activism. Additionally, it could also be possible for those who benefit from the system of usury to manipulate or redirect these protests in order to maintain their power and control.
