Most Americans complain about student loans by calling their lender. Hartford activists apparently prefer calling Iran.

An account identifying itself as Black Lives Matter 860 (BLM 860) recently tagged Iranian accounts on X and suggested attacking American debt systems and wiping out student loans to weaken the U.S. military.

No need to read between the lines. There aren’t any.

An account called EndStage Capitalism claimed Iranian hackers were targeting U.S. credit-card systems. BLM 860 didn’t question it — it amplified it, sharing the post and suggesting the target list be expanded to debt collectors and student loans to weaken military recruitment.

Most people hearing about foreign hackers targeting the American financial system might show a little concern.

BLM 860 went the other direction.

It didn’t just comment on the idea. It tagged Iranian-linked accounts — including @IRIran_Military (now suspended), @Iran and @IranObserver0 — effectively trying to get someone’s attention.

The student-loan argument driving it isn’t new. In certain activist circles, it’s become the standard line that Americans only join the military because they’re buried in debt — and that eliminating student loans would collapse recruitment.

It’s a convenient story for people who see the U.S. military less as something that protects the country and more as something that needs to be undermined.

It’s also wrong.

People join the armed forces for a range of reasons: education benefits, job training, family tradition, patriotism, and a desire to serve. The GI Bill has helped generations build careers, buy homes, and support families. Reducing all of that to a debt trap requires ignoring reality.

But accuracy isn’t really the point.

What matters is the willingness to bring a hostile foreign regime into the conversation at all.

Iran isn’t a neutral player. The regime funds militant groups, threatens U.S. allies, and routinely carries out cyber operations targeting Western institutions.

And yet BLM 860 decided it made sense to tag Iranian accounts and suggest ways they could damage American financial systems and weaken the U.S. military.

Imagine the reaction if a conservative group had done this.

Cable news shills would be scrambling to book panels. Editorial boards would be demanding investigations. Social media companies would be under pressure to shut the account down.

Fortunately for BLM 860, the outrage machine only runs in one direction.

Maybe this is all perfectly normal now. Maybe casually tagging a regime that chants “Death to America” and offering a few helpful suggestions for dismantling the American economy is just another day online.

After all, student loans are frustrating. And feelings matter.

Sure, Iran funds terrorist groups, threatens our allies, and runs cyber operations against Western institutions — but have you seen the interest rates on a 30-year repayment plan? Priorities.

So the next time you’re furious with your loan servicer, remember: you could always think bigger. You could think internationally. You could reach out to a hostile foreign regime and offer to help them kneecap the country that gave you the freedom to complain in the first place.

No word yet on whether BLM 860 plans to tag North Korea about mortgage rates or China about credit card APRs. At this point, the only real question is which adversary gets the next suggestion.
