🎯 EXACTLY C33! And this perverse way of making a PROFIT off Genocide is BECAUSE of (and exacerbated by) the 'profit motive' of CAPITALISM. It is IMPERATIVE that people understand that it is the SYSTEM (and the stage within the system - i.e. Late-Stage Capitalism) that is behind the WHY! When it comes to PROFITS, human life is a SECONDARY concern (whether in Gaza, Sudan, Haiti, the U.S. itself, all over the world). For similar reasons, one is able to understand how 'colonialism' (in all its forms) and 'imperialism' thrive under Capitalism - because of PROFITS!
Under Capitalism, PROFITS come FIRST, everything else is given a lower priority (human life, other species, environment, ecology, whatever). This is the LOGIC of Capitalism.
To expand -> The logic of capitalism dictates that one uses capital to their advantage, to gain the advantage that keeps them at the top. Otherwise, the competition eats them alive. There's no other way. The market favors profits and nothing else, and will use all resources and means to make sure its interests are served. This means dodging taxes, controlling governments through bribes or lobbying, maximizing climate change or only pretending to do something about it, supporting genocide, and more. It's a barbaric system, one that insults the intelligence of any moral human being.
