    Genocide requires weapons and materials, and weapons are VERY lucrative.

    Our economic system will find a way to turn anything into an opportunity for profit, death included.

      Yes, but if “genocide” had a monetary value, and selling weapons for genocide meant having to pay for the weapons and on top of that for the genocide… then a smaller amount of weapons (and of genocide) could still be as lucrative.

      Then just like “carbon offsets”, someone could sell “genocide offsets”… maybe by offering shelter to the people getting genocided, or something.
