I feel like this is one of the finer points to convince people of, and doesn't have as many resources to explain it to someone who's been indoctrinated in Capitalism their whole life.

Something I'd like to understand better is why many socialists seem to believe it's more acceptable to invest in the stock market than become a landlord
Indirect vs Direct exploitation? I don't know I've never considered the question before. Is the stock market even real? Does the buying and selling on it directly affect the workers in a negative way? Is it a meaningful thing that participation in directly creates exploitation that wouldn't be there anyway?
These are legitimate questions and immediate thoughts. I'm not sure. Something I'll have a think about and come back here later hoping someone gives a good answer.
Yes this tends to be what I think, but I can't come to a consistent position on how and why it being indirect matters.
It's not so much that you're supporting the stock market as that you're owning a chunk of a company, whose workers' labour you're now capitalising on.
