I think this is also true for investing in war companies (its the department of war now, so no need to keep up the defense charade), even if it's just part of an index fund or ETF.

This is literally everyone with a 401k.

Yes, violence is literally all of capitalism.

Sadly, a matching 401k became the standard corporate retirement package over a pension.

However, you do still have a choice of what to invest in, even with a 401k.

Sometimes, sometimes not. Many 401(k)s have restrictions not that "you can't invest in X", just "you must choose from the things offered by this account".

Department of War*

DBA Department of War Crimes

So basically any american with a 401k since that money is highly likely invested on these companies.
