Because for colleges to grow, they had to admit more people even though there are not enough good jobs available for the college educated and mostly indebted. This is the fault of the colleges for charging so much, and promising a better future when no such future was possible for the majority of their students. The students are justifiably pissed for getting rugged. So in order to avoid getting blamed, the colleges indoctrinate them to believe it's the man keeping them down, that capitalism is unfair, etc. When really they fucked their own students with a bad deal.

See, this is a really interesting take.
It's a reoccurring theme within the fiat structure: "masking the consequences of inflation".
You're right about the lie that college is the key to a better life. If you leave school as soon as possible, become a plumber or a mechanic, or a welder, something like that, start earning, start saving in Bitcoin, the wealth gap between you and a college student that actually manages to get a decent job afterwards probably isn't that big.
What's more is that you will have saved yourself the trouble of going through Marxist bootcamp.
