Banksters are so loved the world over

[Ichingcarpenter]

A farmer in Russia dumps a truckload of manure in front of Sberbank. A signs read "Bankers are the enemies of the people", "Abolish credit slavery". or
"bankers are the enemies of the people".

1. Manure.

A valuable and expressive medium in any language.

I can't even say what I would like for fear of getting banned.

3. I feel sorry for a lot of bankers who have no more control

over what their owners have them do as does anyone else working in a job they have to have to feed their families. Not all are out to cheat and lie, it's a deliberately corrupt system meant to benefit only those at the very top, and many of these people are just rungs on the ladder. Having worked in a bank and credit union up here, the managers operated basically the same .... it's the higher you go that the corruption starts revealing itself. Classifying all bankers as the enemy is sad, jmo.

5. All of the is quite true of course.

But as the old saying goes, if you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas.
And while the top is where the corruption is they really on the bottom to make it happen.
If the good people went on a general strike their corrupt system would fail.

6. That's true ......... a general strike by them would send a great message! nt.

7. Since I joined a Credit Union...

... I've never looked back. I will never do business with a bank again. EVER. May they all burn to the ground and rot in Hell with their "officers" inside.

8. Angry Russian Farmer Repays $610 Bank Loan With Manure

MOSCOW, Russia - A fed-up farmer kicked up a stink — and made clear his views on the banking system — by repaying a loan with the equivalent value in manure.

Alexander Bakshayev, 42, dumped a cartload of animal dung on the front steps of the bank in western Siberia, local media said Friday.

The manure was worth 40,000 rubles ($610) — the exact amount he owed the bank, Bakshayev told Sibkray.ru.

He decorated the heap with miniature gallows and posters saying "Down with credit slavery" and "Bankers are the enemies of the people," according to news site Pro-sibir.org.

"The whole of Russia somehow owes something now to these lickspittle good-for-nothing bankers with nothing to do," Bakshayev was quoted as saying.

He owns 70 cows and 20 piglets but his total debt is 1 million rubles ($15,400), he told Sibkray.ru. That's 34 times the average monthly salary in Russia of about 29,000 rubles ($450).

The Kremlin has said it relies on Russian farmers to fill the gap caused by an import ban on Western foodstuffs imposed in retribution for sanctions over the war in Ukraine.

However, punitive interest rates have left businesses struggling for money.

9. Manure must be pretty expensive over there

That looks like a nice $40 load for around here. It would be definitely way overpriced at $610.

I can agree with the sentiment though.
