RE: House of Cards: a view from the ivory tower
When the death star blows up and the janitor is killed no one feels bad that he was just doing his job to feed his family by supporting the empire to keep their killer weapon aimed at people. You should find another job and let the system rot.
That's a great analogy. I think sometimes people who vilify banks forget about the ranks of ordinary people who work at them just trying to make ends meet to support their families. These people don't necessarily care about ideology, they just want to survive. Darth Vader and the Emperor are the ones deserving of all the hate, not the maintenance crews trapped into following orders who take pride in a job well done at the end of the day.
Ultimately, instead of getting a new job I would like to quit being a corporate slave altogether, and retire to live a life of freedom doing what I want instead of what my boss wants. Hopefully someday my cryptocurrency investments will allow me to take that giant leap forward and leave the rat race behind for good. But I'm not there yet.
There's an intermediate step of working somewhere that doesn't spend all it's time and effort literally enslaving the entire planet. You seem like a good guy. Stop doing things that help others do bad shit for a paycheck and get a new line of work. You are the banking equivalent of the dipshit cops at standing rock.
