Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Now even after your stomach accommodates to the sheer amount of raw evil pouring forth from this, you will find that the Murder ETF is a nonsensical product that has no market. People buy ETFs because they are supposed to be a safe long-term investment representing a large cross-section of the economy, if your goal is financial stability why would you go gamble on the outcomes of military battles?

Because WallStreetBets style failson ghouls get off to it, even with the contradiction.

you aren't gambling on the outcomes of military battles you are gambling on the military buying more weapons

Agreed. It's like how the investors in private prisons aren't wagering that there'll be more crime, there wagering that the capitalist state will imprison more people. If you ask any Marxist whether the American Empire will buy more weapons and imprison more people, the vast majority would say yes.
