Keep a million for fun, everything else, buy a very conservative and diversified portfolio, borrow against it and purchase real estate worldwide in places with water access and least affected by climate change. With profits start funding antifa, anarcho-syndicalist, ecosocialist, and similar movements.

Pretty sure they would not eat the person funding them. Militant groups tend to like funding and toys for their activities.

If you are buying real estate, you won't be funding "antifa" or any of the other things you are fantasizing. Profit-bearing RealEstate is directly counter to all of those movments, and once they start threatening you, you'll immediately pivot to funding the status-quo.

I guess you're calling me ignorant and a hypocrite without knowing anything about me or my value system.

My recommendation to you would be to read again and instead of assuming ignorance and hypocrisy, assume that I know very well what I'm talking about. And then meditate on it.
