“Cease being intimidated by the argument that a right action is impossible because it does not yield maximum profits, or that a wrong action is to be condoned because it pays.” A Sand County Almanac
So much fury is coming our way, those of us who bear the burden of understanding extreme capitalism, and the vast global inequity it perpetuates, is fuelling Earth Crisis. The more we shine the light, the more profound the insecurity of those who benefit from it. From the alt-right to the eco-modernists, we are the object of increasing anger.
I want to re-visit the proto Indo-European bher ~ to carry, to bear.
We carry a weight of understanding, wading upstream through a mud-river-torrent of climate volatility, scrambling up mountains of human debris from the hurricanes to come.
I offer bhera as the strength to deliver this specific value-shift to post-growth, post-capitalist civilization.
Suffix mon (PIE) and we are the becoming of the carrying of this weight, this duty. We are the bearers of this news.
The collective, Bheramon.
United, we can help each other in the face of hostility.
