Investing is not a number game. It has consequences on the real world. If you buy a stock of people making weapons, yes, you are helping to create a world with more weapons. You are, quite litteraly, owning a piece of a company making weapons. You can argue that you are ok with building weapon. It's another debate. But you can't say you are not helping. Companies are selling shares on the market because it helps them. And if tomorrow you make a big speech about gun control, it makes you a hypocrite. You can slice it in many way, use semantics, play the cards of the layer of abstractions. But in the end, it's a simple truth.
