I hate the whole publicly traded model of companies. I hate capitalism. But have to engage in trading stocks (I mostly do Mutual Funds and a small quantity of direct stocks) so that my money doesn't lose value by sitting in a bank or cash.

Same thing with credit cards, don't like taking loans and getting marked on a centralised list for that but it's a safer option than using your own money.

Fortunately I don't do crypto so that's a plus.

you live by others labour , it is dirty .

and it will always be Dirty .. there is no escape to the Fact that you live Parasiticlly from other peoples Labour .. the ONLY avenue you have is the Avenue of Hirachy and Elitism.

You can start to consider yourself much more important then those that labour .. Of better Ideology ..Birth ... Culture ..Race ... Personal Biographie etc..

When you do that it will not feel so dirty anymore . but you will be then Dirty for others. So no escape from the Dirt without Abandoning Passiv income.

EDIT: Also you reduce it .. like a Hole Factory / Company all its Employees , there dreams and Hopes ... compressed into this crudes form.

He's not living off other people's labour. He's using it as a bank, cutting out the bank in the middle to maintain above inflation rates of interest.

If you're using a bank the bank is doing the exact same thing putting your money in stocks too.

nope . you can not trade without a Bank . And the Stocks Dividence come from other Peoples Labour.

this coment was not meant in a "fronting" / "personal" manner at all , obviously i dont demand he stop ,(what would that do? We live in a Society ) I dont follow vegan logic of personal Purity) . I simply explained that he feels dirty because it is Dirty.

When you live from other Peoples Labour, it is Dirty .. and the More you life by other Peoples Labour the More Dirty you become.

if it would not be dirty , he would not have felt it .

Ipso facto .
