The most ambiguous word i use

“Who is this ‘We’ you keep referring to?” One Facebook commenter wrote recently.  It is a great question actually.

In this particular case, i was referring to the intentional communities movement.  “We” are consuming dramatically fewer resources than our mainstream counter parts, because we are sharing.

But i also use it identify Twin Oaks and Acorn specifically, as large, established, successful, income sharing communities.

These are the toothbrushes “we” use.

i regularly refer to the anti-nuclear movement as “we”.

Sometimes “We” is the infamous Star Family

Often i use the word “We” to denote the entire set of people who want to change the world for the better.

If we can just think more about “we” than “me”

Occasionally, it is the term i use to describe polyamory activists.

But of course the most simple approach is the just do the simple translation in your head.  When i say “We”, it is always safe to compress it down to simple mean “i”
