Hedging against good

OmegaKV
During the pandemic, I bought Moderna stock as a way of hedging against freedom from the vaccine/pandemic bullshit. If the bullshit kept getting out of control to the point that I would be no longer able to tolerate working, then at least this would imply that the vaccine stocks would go way up, and I would have enough money to quit my job and retire. By buying vaccine stocks, I was buying sort of an insurance, so that I could better tolerate if the vaccine bullshit kept getting out of control.

But by buying the vaccine stock I was joining evil and supporting evil. I was making the vaccine companies stronger. What I did was essentially this: There is a good king and an evil king competing for power. I know the evil king will be worse to his opponents if he wins, than the good king will be to his opponents if he wins, so I support the evil king to mitigate the downside.

It seems like it is more dangerous and risky to support evil than to oppose it, doesn't it?

Joining and supporting evil? Just so that you could quit your job and retire?

Sounds like a short-term reward with some everlasting downsides.

Not worth it IMO. But it's your life. All up to you.
