minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Lemmygod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·edit-25 个月前The idea of “destroy the banks and free everyone” is in so many movies and shows. Sneakers, Mr. Robot, Fight Club. Hell, even Tuvok had a gang of teenage hackers “ethically distribute” money in SeaQuest. I’m destroying war, corruption. I’m ripping the heart out of greed! [as they both battle to hack into and out of the world bank] It does have some historical precedent. In the ancient Near East it was common for all debts to be destroyed every decade or so.
