Socially responsible investing (lemmy.world)

I'm hoping to find an ethically minded ETF (ESG) that isn't run by a publicly held or just plain evil company. I don't see the point in using Vanguard, BlackRock, DWS, etc when I want to be socially responsible. Is there a non profit investment firm? The salaries could be sky high but the company would have a stated goal of social responsibility.

The most socially responsible thing I can think of to do with ones money is to not validate the stock exchange, because the system is inherently unhealthy for society

what if your poor, have a solid plan for change, and there is (by design) no other realistic way to gather the capital required to carry out that plan?

it's mostly just degenerate gamblers at this point (looking at total volume levels), why not take their $ if they're stupid enough to give it to you freely?

Hey I know there's this wheel that grinds human empathy into dust, but if we want to stop it from doing that we have to spin the wheel faster!

Loony tunes logic

i need $, and have made more in the last...3 months (after learning how the casino really works) than I'v made working as a wagie the last...7+ years.

i cannot go back to working a day job, but i also need more $ to break out on my own...and with this obvious massive everything-bubble and whose running things...bubbles popping is the only time serious amounts of wealth ever gets redistributed in this capitalistic shithole, so why not grab a chunk off for myself if some degenerate gambler is seemingly willing to hand it to me?
