      it's pretty straightforwardly racist. it's pretty straightforwardly sexist. it doesn't embrace unions or labor; it's hero is the beneficent white savior small businessman, not really workers or the poor.

      of course you can like it and find inspiration in it. but I really think we need more criticism of white saviors and of narratives of white entitlement and rage.

      demographics isn't everything, but in politics it's a hell of a lot, and white male straight Christian rural small business owners are not in general the moral leaders we might like them to be right now.

      Building and Loans are dead in the water now and were on their way out when the movie was filmed, but they were more like mutual credit associations -https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/building-and-loan-association.asp …

      In the semantics of It's a Wonderful Life, George is stuck managing the communal mutual aid working people's bank, *not* running his own "family business."

      I think I'd question whether those semantics are accurate.

      I don't know about that, the pull between his desire to explore and his being mixed up in the affairs of the town and the people is the central conflict, and the B&L being communal is part of it.

      These institutions don't exist anymore so we're gonna bring our own understanding on to it and George might end up looking a lot more individualistic in his business than he was meant to at the time because we don't have the context.

      It's imperfect, but centering a B&L as the "good" financial institution, especially as they were in their death throes, is Capra siding with mutual associations explicitly, even if those of us who don't know the history just see "small bank"

      It's not particularly subtle as a theme of the movie, in the scene about the run on the B&L where everyone demands their money back from George he gives that whole big famous speech about how he doesn't have it, the money is in everyone's houses
