The way I see it, it's pretty simple—whether you invest or not, the markets couldn’t care less. They just keep going up and down like always. So honestly, someone investing in not-so-ethical companies isn’t gonna change a thing. At the end of the day, it’s a personal decision, and no matter what you choose, the actual impact on reality is basically zero.
Yeah, I agree with that. This resonates with @denlillaapan's continuous reference to the fact we are in a liquidity market now. Fundamentals don't matter much. That's also why I've mostly invested in ETFs like the SP500 in the past.
It's more of a moral question. I know that I won't have any impact. Boycotting such companies is a pointless thing, from a rational point of view.
But yeah, in the end, I'll probably just keep doing ETFs as I don't have the desire or energy to really start picking individual stocks. This way, I can avoid answering my own question by circumventing it.

I don’t judge anyone for this kind of decision. But if you think about it, the S&P 500 has weapons companies, so you’re basically investing in weapons. In the end, we’re just fooling ourselves! Hahaha

which happens because of individual people buying or selling 😂

The liquidity is mostly from institutions, not individual people.
