It's really striking how in recent years the Godwin point has been replaced from "everybody who disagrees is Hitler" to "everybody who disagrees is a anti-climate flat-vax earth-denier". It's really not helping getting any point across. In a way it is self-realizing polarization: because you are casting any criticism of "modern finance" into this "bundle of badness" this is likely to reinforce their position.
I think you have the point, and it makes me worried to see your comment downvoted to oblivion.
It is worrying to see that people tend to just click thumbs down when they don't agree rather than to pick the towel and build a strong argument against what they don't agree with.
