    What does it mean “as left as they come”? When you’re interested in profiting from current slave labour and future concentration camps.

    Bad isn’t even a category here, you’re a wannabe fascist profiteer

          Yes your tiny brain can’t see how murdering innocent human lives is vastly more evil than making someone who killed their wife for the insurance money- create a wallet.

              Your conveniently omitting the government who allows these concentration camps for him to profit off of, among the other “corporate Interest special actions”

        1. You don’t know where they live, or what their taxes fund or funded.

        2. Assuming they are American (which is what I’m assuming you’re assuming), the other option is prison.

    Short answer: Yes

    Long Answer: Good lord. Yes, it would be something a bad person would do.

    In effect, any gains you make will be blood money. Have fun with that on your conscience.

    “listen. I don’t WANT Hitler to commit mass genocide. But I am going to fund the company of the gas chambers he plans to use. Because I benefit from it”.

    It’s not a one to one comparison but um. Yeah.

    Yes. Regardless of the second part. Don’t invest in private prisons, even if it’s sums that would seem inconsequential to the industry as a whole.

    Edit:If it’s invest in, in the sense of, buy the stock of, I’d still say yes. It still contributes to the success of the industry, even if just minuscully so.

    Don’t do it, friend.

    The better investment generally is to invest in index funds anyways, which makes your hands at least a little bit cleaner.

    In theory if you could use any profits to make counter-investments or buy enough stock to be able to influence them to move in a different direction then your strategy might be viable, but unless you literally just buy 1 share to be able to harass them at stockholder meetings then in all likelihood your money is doing more harm than good.

    Best to just straight up invest in organizations that are effective in stopping these things and influencing policy against them.

    Do you remember the part in Schindler’s list where his factory’s weapons and ammo were all out of spec and couldn’t be used?
