not all investing is bad. if your company offers a match on a 401k, or a stock purchasing plan its worth it.

also holding commodities is usually good as a “CYA” type thing.

but when you actively buy and trade stocks you have a vested interest in some of the largest, most unethical companies in the world succeeding.

if you want to invest in an “ethical” company, those normally perform the worst so its charity at best with some self defeatism in there.

This isn’t even true? You can make tons of money actively rooting for companies to fail.

Having money is part of your hierarchy of needs in America. Without money you can not reach self actualization

Better idea: short 1 of literally everything on the stock market

Being interested in bad companies succeeding is not what “reactionary” means. You mean it’s inherently capitalist or right wing. Calling it right wing it’s a tautology. In order to trade the stock market you have to participate in the market. Believing in free markets is right wing. It’s not reactionary though. Reactionary is like we should go back to the Dutch East India Trading Co way of doing stocks. Wanting only the wealthy involved in stocks like it used to be is reactionary.

Yes, people here are participating in something that’s inherently capitalist. Now what? What’s supposed to happen when we realize that?

“I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating - partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400 and, now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes demands on one’s time, and it’s worth while running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money.”
