I once had stocks in Shell, mainly because it’s a Dutch company (I’m Dutch) and its a pretty stable investment. But it felt very wrong to invest in oil. So after a few months I sold them (thankfully with a little profit).
Personally I just don’t want to invest in anything I think fucks up the world. It’s also why I don’t want to invest in meta and some other tech companies.
I can see that happening… but invest in what? NVIDIA?
Oil stocks were down 90% in March 2020. That’s what I went with. You can profit off a lot of things if you’re willing to hold for a few years.

For better or worse, then you wont want to invest in well, anything. Capitalism is always fucking up the world.
That said, most don’t have a choice about it, if they ever want to retire.
The best I can get you is investing in Seed Commons, or something similar: https://seedcommons.org/invest
