I'm black and I'd do business with Hitler. The dude created a currency based off of labor. And made Germany is wealthy country WITHOUT a central bank.

Given how so many countries are enslaved to banks and countries who don't have central banks are invaded by the US, this puts history lessons of WW2 in a position to be questioned and scrutinized. There's a legitimate reason now to alter and suppress history; the popularity of the idea of a currency based purely on labor is too powerful and would cause a massive wealth transfer from banks to the people.

Yes, yes and yes.

>Do you believe in ethical investing?
Epistemology wise, I don't believe in ethics or morals. They are a social construct. I don't value human life over my long or even short term net benefit. If I could press a button that kill 100 million babies to toddlers and get 1 million dollars out of that, I would do it instantaneously. So tobacco (self-harm based on addiction), gambling (mentally ill people being taken advantage off) and oil companies (environmental damage) have absolute zero impact on me because I really don't give a fuck about the future of human kind over my own net benefit.

Oil isn't unethical retard. Sin stocks(tobacco, gambling, guns, etc) are O.K, i personally don't do tobacco because i don't believe in the long term viability for the current price. Gambling? fine, it's a game not unethical. Investing in burger MIC, blood on your hands, not a fan. Ethical investing isn't just about industry, it's also about wether the company itself is a good corporate citizen, sustainability, and so forth. I believe in it, so long as it's accompanied by profitability and a good balance sheet.

Oh wow, Nazi alert, next you'll say the inherent disgust men feel toward faggots, the inborn racial self-preference, male-female innate sexual attraction (re: male dominance and strength, feminine beauty and agreeableness), and tendencies toward meritocracy noted from earliest childhood should be accounted for and accepted as part of society rather the counter-acted to the benefit of literally just trannies and Jews.

Investing in stock is gambling that the Fed will rescue whatever overleveraged company you’re invested in.
If you’re ethical you will sell your stocks and burn the proceeds because if the game wasn’t rigged they’d be worth zero.

Yes. Tobacco is good and ethical. I'm not familiar with oil and gambling but they've been hit hard lately. Could be very ethical or could be catching a falling knife. I do not know so I'm just watching. Could go either way at this point, but tobacco most ethical of the two, oil the most risky.

A love of one's own race does not imply hatred of other races. Look at how Hitler treated Jesse Owens compared to FDR. The (((NeoNazi))) psyop poisoned race relations and was a divide and conquer plot by the enemy of all humanity.

Personally, I don't think I can. I had a fantastic opportunity to work for a cigar company doing their marketing and design work, but I had to pass on the offer. My grandmother passed away in 2013 of lung cancer after not having smoked in over 30+ years. I don't think I can provide my services to a company in the industry that took her away from me. I get she had the choice to smoke, but we simply didn't know better back then. Now, we do.

I don't think any of those industries are unethical. Everyone knows smoking can give them cancer, if they choose to do it that's their business. Everyone knows the odds are stacked against you in gambling, if they choose to do it (I have, it's fun) that's their business. And while global warming is a problem, unless your sentence on how to deal with it starts with 'we go to India and China' you're not serious about fixing the problem you're just looking for social points.
