Cryptofascists love their duper's delight style dog whistles, such as mentioning "shekles/schmeckles' or the like. sus-soviet

The actual currency of the zionist entity is the shekel

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and the "OK" hand sign in other contexts does mean "OK." Doesn't stop cryptofascists from contexually applying it outside of those uses with vaguely plausible deniability.

I admittedly read your comment the way I'd often hear it from Reddit. "Um, so drinking a gallon of milk while flashing an OK sign is now fascist dogwhistling to you? Are the fascists in the room with us right now? Do you need help? Who hurt you?" smuglord

it just surprised me when I found out about it the first time, "WAIT THAT'S ACTUALLY THEIR CURRENCY?"

I look forward to reading in the news a story about two white supremacist divers who get eaten by sharks. The investigators find the divers' waterproof cameras and watch the footage:

The divers are trapped in a submerged shipwreck after sharks appear. They look out for the sharks leaving but visibility is low. In the old captain's cabin, there is too little room to turn around. The one taps the other's arm and signals, 'Look over my shoulder, are the sharks gone?' The other signals, 'White Power, fuck yeah!' so the first unbars the door, swims out and gets et.*

*Et is the simple past tense of eat. Remember this the next time you're playing Scrabble.

I blame the fash for ruining what I believe to be an objectively funny name for a currency.

Atleast we have Vietnamese dongs covered

this has to be parody… pretty sure even Slava Ukraini-heads know clusterbombs are a bad look

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

This does come off a bit too hard to be legitimate I think, especially the "responsible investing" bit. I don't think an actual warmonger would phrase it like that.

On the other hand, I have absolutely seen people who think clusterbombs are a totally fine weapon to use. I am related to one. His argument was that they'd end the war faster and save more lives. Which...I don't think I need to say that I disagree with that.

I'm also curious what "massed Russian infantry attacks" daily videos he had seen.

capitalist brainrot has convinced most normal people to go against the basic, child-level understanding of war being a bad thing. instead being against war is somehow juvenile and naïve. so it's just normal to wonder how you can fund the results of your labor into killing machines. it's just okay. it's fine, i guess. nothing needs to improve here

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

No one is immune to propaganda, and many people have consumed a lifetime of propaganda that tells them that those that call for war and those that perpetrate war are typically the Adults In The Room who Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done.

That's it I'm posting my articles to that subreddit next.

I dove into this a couple years ago trying to find some not-aggregious ETFs to invest in. There were very very very few mixed-industry ETFs that excluded both fossil fuels and weapons, which is a really low bar to clear.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Also that's what banks say but then their "green" ETFs still include weapons and fossil fuels.

There's this ESG standard (Environment, Social, corporate Governance) that's supposed to be an easy indicator for investors but it's so useless it's not even funny anymore.

It's so bad that hardcore imperial publications like the Financial Times have railed against ESG with completely liberal arguments. Even plurality owner of the empire Blackrock has internal dissent at the highest level towards the construct.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

Now even after your stomach accommodates to the sheer amount of raw evil pouring forth from this, you will find that the Murder ETF is a nonsensical product that has no market. People buy ETFs because they are supposed to be a safe long-term investment representing a large cross-section of the economy, if your goal is financial stability why would you go gamble on the outcomes of military battles?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

if your goal is financial stability why would you go gamble on the outcomes of military battles?

Because WallStreetBets style failson ghouls get off to it, even with the contradiction.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

you aren't gambling on the outcomes of military battles you are gambling on the military buying more weapons

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed. It's like how the investors in private prisons aren't wagering that there'll be more crime, there wagering that the capitalist state will imprison more people. If you ask any Marxist whether the American Empire will buy more weapons and imprison more people, the vast majority would say yes.

Exchange traded fund. It's basically a lot of different stocks bundled together into one Stock that you buy. It usally covers a specific part of the global market. So you can buy an ETF that represents the entire US market (this would be similar to buying stocks in every Dow Jones company), an ETF that represents the retail market (so you get shares of Walmart, Target, TraderJoes etc.), or in this case an ETF that represents the Weapons Manufacturing market (so Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Rheinmetall etc.).

Usually they’re great investment devices as because they don’t lean too much on a single company, they just tend to have more stability and better returns overall

It's an index fund except set up in a way so that middlemen can make more money.
