I want to open my personal bank account, but I first wanted to know which types of banks I should look for, any tips?

The only part that matters re: leftism is to think about how you want to handle crackdowns, which is less about which bank you choose and more about infosec. For example, don't use your personal bank account for spicy business. Use cash if you can and some third party (even a company or non-profit) to shield your personal financea from governments freezing accounts. And if you develop savings, consider having an emergency fund with a different bank in a country that is unlikely to cooperate with freezing your assets.
