I hate the whole publicly traded model of companies. I hate capitalism. But have to engage in trading stocks (I mostly do Mutual Funds and a small quantity of direct stocks) so that my money doesn’t lose value by sitting in a bank or cash.

Same thing with credit cards, don’t like taking loans and getting marked on a centralised list for that but it’s a safer option than using your own money.

Fortunately I don’t do crypto so that’s a plus.

    you live by others labour , it is dirty .

    and it will always be Dirty … there is no escape to the Fact that you live Parasiticlly from other peoples Labour … the ONLY avenue you have is the Avenue of Hirachy and Elitism.

    You can start to consider yourself much more important then those that labour … Of better Ideology …Birth … Culture …Race … Personal Biographie etc…

    When you do that it will not feel so dirty anymore . but you will be then Dirty for others. So no escape from the Dirt without Abandoning Passiv income.

    EDIT: Also you reduce it … like a Hole Factory / Company all its Employees , there dreams and Hopes … compressed into this crudes form.

      He’s not living off other people’s labour. He’s using it as a bank, cutting out the bank in the middle to maintain above inflation rates of interest.

      If you’re using a bank the bank is doing the exact same thing putting your money in stocks too.

        nope . you can not trade without a Bank . And the Stocks Dividence come from other Peoples Labour.

        this coment was not meant in a “fronting” / “personal” manner at all , obviously i dont demand he stop ,(what would that do? We live in a Society ) I dont follow vegan logic of personal Purity) . I simply explained that he feels dirty because it is Dirty.

        When you live from other Peoples Labour, it is Dirty … and the More you life by other Peoples Labour the More Dirty you become.

        if it would not be dirty , he would not have felt it .

        Ipso facto .
