The down the rabbit hole youtube channel is really great for mildly obscure interesting topics.
Most European territories serve the USA’s geopolitical goals. Sanctions against Russia right now are part of that. There’s nothing moral about it. It’s simply a service to the USA for being in its sphere of influence. There is nothing, not a single shred of integrity in that.
European countries must send a strong message that war in Europe is not worth it... hence sanctions. They are not dooing it because they "serve the USA’s geopolitical goals".
I think it is broadly ok if your investment doesn't exploit others.
This could be investing in something a community can share like:
- FOSS projects
- Community gardens
- Food banks
- Non profit orgs
However, like other people have said it is practical to invest in some things for yourself:
- an emergency fund
- Land you can live on (to protect against unpredictable rents)
- even some stock and cryptocurrency is acceptable to some degree (imo) as in many countries large savings are required for old age.

It might be a good idea for journalists and other targeted people to have multiple burner phones for different activities.
That way if your personal device is infected itnisnkess likely to compromise your human rights work.
You would probably want to turn off any phone you are not using as they are able to access the camera and mic.
Sure, thanks for pointing this out. I have replaced it with a picture of the logo from the framework github.
