I recently bought a course on investing and that is what the course advices for survival under capitalism. Would this come out as being a class traitor? Does it sound snobby? Or is it a good advice?
You gotta take care of yourself AND you exist in the time and place in which you exist. Assuming you live in the imperial core like myself, the only possible way you can retire some day is by having investments that you can live off of later. Index funds are a pretty simple and (to my knowledge) reasonably effective way of investing.
Do it if you want to, or don’t, but don’t judge your moral character as a comrade by it.
