By investing in publicly traded stock, you’re purchasing part ownership of the means of production and making profits off someone else’s labor. I don’t see how you can even justify owning small amounts of stocks when it contributes to such awful things on a massive scale.

    This is just the "curious, you critique capitalism from your iPhone" argument but for retirement funds. Don't invest in literal arms manufacturers or oil companies and stop hand wringing.
