The outrage that life itself (biosphere within supporting climate) is being commodified effectively through a ‘one-party’ monopoly of economic ‘rationale’ – in the interest of profit-making (profiteering), short-term enough for the material benefit of a few, at the long-term expense of all – dwarfs, in existential terms, the 16th c. aberrations The mainstream ‘orthodoxy’ is hegemonic – dominating academia, business and policy-making – and totally beyond our democratic exercising of political choice. Perhaps Extinction Rebellion is a sign this moral outrage is happening. May our outrage be magnanimous, and wise (not least, in listening to indigenous societies).
