minus-squareSemi-Hemi-LemmygodlinkEnglish20•edit-28 months agoThe idea of “destroy the banks and free everyone” is in so many movies and shows. Sneakers, Mr. Robot, Fight Club.

[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.
