You know that a large proportion of the returns from the stockmarket are made by reinvesting dividends.

"rent seeking" seems to either be used by people who don't understand how trade/investment works or want something or subsidies'

or its a dog whistle that tends to go with gold bugs, cryptocurrency fantasists and then on to much less pleasant things

Err, "rent seeking" is an established term of mainstream economics and well studied.

Not sure what you're going about re: gold bugs, and "less pleasant things"...
