cui bono? Who benefits? This is a question we should always ask. Who benefits from #Anarchy? Everyone - at least 99% of us. Who benefits from #Capitalism? The 1%.
Who benefits from war? The #MilitaryIndustrialComplex. The people of #Ukraine would benefit from driving out #Russia and ending the war as quickly as possible. The "Defence Industry", whether in the US, Europe, Russia, China, or elsewhere, benefits from a long, drawn-out conflict, like that in #Syria.
Who benefits from the #COP27 agreement, which will further destroy the #climiate? The #FossilFuels industry. Who benefits from environmental destruction? #Agribusiness, the #FishingIndustry ...
There are really countless examples.
Whether you are reading anything from a piece of journalism, to a scientific paper, always, always ask: cui bono? Who benefits?
