They're not evil either. Lots of nice, normal family people work at banks, top to bottom.

A lot of people here seem to want banks to be comic-book-level evil, cause then they get to put themselves in the comic book to go fight them.

Bank employees are just employees and, as such, are not required to understand how banking really works. Saying that ordinary good people work anywhere doesn't mean that the organization they work for are good in and of themselves.

To use an analogy, we can all argue that McDonald's employees are good, hard working people, but the food there is far from healthy.

McDonalds food is not cyanide either. Enjoy it now and then, you'll be fine. Ice creams are nice when the machine works.

Basically it's the whole comic-book-isation that I'm against. The world is not a comic book.

I see what you mean, realism is definitely sometimes forgotten in certain echo chambers

facts. when every institution becomes either a super-villain or a hero, you lose the capacity to spot real villains and genuine heroes. nuance keeps the compass straight.

grab an ice cream while we still can—whether the machine’s brikwalled or not, taste it before the surveillance menu reads your biometric ice-cream mood.
