The #fashionistas will take anything that starts to grow in the alt. They arrive when something becomes interesting, turn it into a fashion, commodify it and sell out the work, the world and the dreams that built it.

Act before they take control.

To understand why we are in such a mess: Fear of the right → fight the right → feed the right → create more fear of the right → fight harder.

The fear becomes the fuel, so look at our actions over the last 10 years, where is the left?

We need to talk to our “left friends”.

Keep it simple:

Fear/control → right-wing
Trust/open → left-wing

Don't get lost in the labels, theory or #geekproblem. Keep the focus. What are we building, fear and control, or trust and openness?

The #fashionista cycle feeds on attention, novelty and the absence of grounding.

The antidote is the opposite, trust, continuity and community memory.

Stay messy, stay grounded, stay real.
