Man With Sign, September 16, 02026
I wake before the alarm, turn it off before it sounds, and rise quietly to take pre-vigil coffee & toast in the quiet kitchen. Setting out, I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, put up my big sign, couple my loudspeaker to my phone, and lean on the railing, holding up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS. I think I'm a soloist again, but Craige arrives midway through the hour.

Man With Sign, September 15, 02026
The alarm jolts me out of an interesting dream (I was in a classroom making a solid point) and into the darkened bedroom; I pull myself into the world and move downstairs for coffee and toast. Then hit the road, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, setting up my big sign, coupling my speaker, and holding up 2021 IPCC REPORT: "CODE RED" FOR HUMANITY. No Craige today.

Monday morning finds me getting up with the alarm's beeps, then drinking my pre-vigil coffee in the quiet kitchen, eating the penultimate slice of last week's bread (baking later this morning, hurrah), and heading out, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30. As I've been doing with every Monday until some kind of sanity returns, it's ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE.

Bunker as a metaphor
There is something revealing about the way powerful people talk about our future, when they imagine crisis, they imagine their escape. A luxury bunker, fortress border, a private city, a rocket or an #AI cloud. A place for the self chosen few to survive while everyone else is left outside to die. This is the "logic" of the #deathcult we all worship, if the world is breaking, protect yourself rather than repair the world. It should be obverse to us that this is is not really any actual plan […] -

The only problem with that is that the #LimitsToGrowth will end the entire #IndustrialAge in a slow but unstoppable #collapse of modern civilisation in the escalating #polycrisis of environmental destruction, species #extinction, #ClimateChaos, #ResourceDepletion and so on.

Thatcher, Reagan were the wrecking crew: How we keep pushing mess
This story is about the ideology that won. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, two politicians on either side of the Atlantic didn’t only win elections, they reshaped what people came to accept as “common sense.” Margaret Thatcher in Britain and Ronald Reagan in the United States did not invent capitalism’s worst tendencies, but they gave them state power, institutional infrastructure, and ideological legitimacy. What they built was not simply a set of policies, it was a social […]https://hamishcampbell.com/thatcher-reagan-were-the-wrecking-crew-how-we-pushed-the-current-mess/

The End of the “Peace Dividend” and the Return of History
#Identitypolitics, is what happens when liberalism turns inward and fragments - call it mad liberalism. #Culturewar is what happens when that same liberalism hardens and lashes out - bad liberalism. Both look like opposites, but they come from the same place. The uncomfortable part is both were pushed onto the "left" as the way to fight #neoliberalism the very system that’s been tearing apart the social fabric for decades. Instead of building collective power, we pushed endless identity […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-end-of-the-peace-dividend-and-the-return-of-history/

As #ExtremeHeat Bakes US, 160+ #Global Groups Demand 'Real' #ClimateAction
Reject #FalseSolutions, such as #NaturalGas, #MegaDams, #geoengineering, #bioenergy, forest offsets, #CarbonTrading schemes, #NuclearEnergy, biodiversity credits, and #CarbonCapture and storage.
Jessica Corbett
Jun 23, 2025Excerpt: " 'While #governments and #corporations push us deeper into #ClimateChaos, movements around the world are rising,' she noted. 'From every corner of the Earth, women leaders are coming together with solutions and strategies to defend our planet and our communities. We call on governments and financial institutions to heed their voices and ensure effective and equitable policies—from Bonn to Belém and beyond. We must rise boldly, because climate change is not waiting for politics. Our movements are not bending. We are not breaking. We are defining and building a healthy and just future for all.'
"The new call to action points out that 'last year, the world breached this threshold with global average temperatures exceeding 1.5ºC above preindustrial levels. This alarming milestone is not yet a permanent breach of the Paris agreement guardrail, which refers to long-term warming, although scientists predict that 2024 will be the first of a 20-year period reaching 1.5ºC warming.'
" 'Although the pathway is drastically narrowing, the International Energy Agency affirms that the goal of the Paris agreement is still attainable,' the publication continues. 'Scientists assert that limiting global warming to 1.5ºC will require significant and urgent action from governments and financial institutions.'
"Specifically, the coalition outlined 10 broad actions for governments and financial institutions, beginning with urging both the public and private sectors to end fossil fuel expansion and extraction, and to 'reject false solutions, such as natural gas, mega-dams, geoengineering, bioenergy, forest offsets, carbon trading schemes, nuclear energy, biodiversity credits, and carbon capture and storage.'
"The collective also called for accelerating a just transition, promoting women's leadership and gender equity, protecting the rights of #IndigenousPeoples, safeguarding #forests and #biodiversity, preserving oceans and freshwater, advancing #FoodSecurity and #sovereignty, implementing the #RightsOfNature, providing robust climate finance, and cutting off financial institutions' support for 'harmful projects and redirecting resources into climate solutions.' "

The #mainstreaming mess
The #mainstreaming project is visibly failing. Worse, it is set to catastrophically fail over the next 30 years as #climatechaos escalates. The signs are everywhere: environmental collapse, political instability, and the hollow nature of mainstream culture. Yet, large parts of liberal society continue to bow to the #deathcult, a path of power, greed, and control over life, community, and sustainability. The end result we can now clearly see is the rule of big, dumb, ugly men with guns, a […] -
Thinking outreach of the hashtag story to this event https://www.ngiforum2023.eu/
Classification of different versions of the web (such as #Web1, #Web2, #Web3, #Web4, or #Web5) can be a source of confusion and FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).
The hashtags #openweb and #closedweb provide a clear way to describe and understand the different types of web platforms. The #openweb refers to platforms that are open-source, community-controlled, and promote transparency, the #closedweb to platforms that are proprietary, controlled by a few large companies and lack transparency.
Projects like #indymediaback and #OMN are examples of grassroots of social tech. These projects are focused on promoting decentralized, community-controlled media and communication platforms.
It’s time to compost the normal #techshit, and to focus on developing social tech that is more inclusive, diverse, and community-controlled. This will require a change in the way we think about technology, and a shift away from the current dominant paradigm.
The solution to this problem is to develop social tech that steps away from the #geekproblem and focuses on the needs and perspectives of the community. This can be achieved by involving a diverse group of people in the development and decision-making process, and by promoting open-source code, open standards, open governance, and open data in technology development.
The #geekproblem is a social tech problem that refers to the negative impacts that technology can have on society when it is developed and controlled by a small group of people with limited perspectives and values. It is important to recognize that the #geekproblem is not only a technical issue but also a social issue.
It’s important to remember that fear can be a barrier for change, but by actively using the #4opens we can call out pointless things, call out the #deathcult and compost the #techshit, we can actively work towards a more sustainable future.
It’s important to remember that all thinking is critique and if you aren’t looking at the faults, you are likely not looking at the thing at all. Don’t be afraid, use the #4opens, take up gardening the compost, and plant the seeds of hope in the era of #climatechaos.
It’s important to lift your head and look, lift your shovel, dig and plant. By actively using the #4opens and composting the #techshit, we can actively work towards a more sustainable future.
Living in fear is a common response to the challenges of the era of #climatechaos, when many people are on their knees worshipping the #deathcult. However, it is important to call out pointless things as pointless and actively use the #4opens as a tool to compost the #techshit that is contributing to these challenges.
The problem is that the nice moral majority, our liberal friends, have not accepted that the system they try to push is broken. It’s pastime for change, and holding onto our current system is not helping. Their “common sense” is the problem we need to be fighting, as well as the far right.
We must come together as a united force to address the real issues and challenges facing society, rather than spending time fighting among ourselves.
The left fail is spending too much time fighting inside the left over this balance, instead of focusing on the real issues and challenges. #BLOCKING #stupidindividualism and worshipping the #deathcult all push this fight, and it’s important not to be a “PRAT” (i.e. a person who behaves in a foolish or unthinking way) on this subject.
The “left mess” we are in refers to the challenges and divisions within the left-leaning political spectrum. The idea that on the “fluffy” left, we must be “nice” to get people involved in social change, and on the “spiky” left, we need to be nasty to be effective in social change, both have some truth to it. It is important to find a balance between the two approaches in order to be effective in bringing about social change.
Group use of hashtags as an organizing tool. This can help to bring attention to issues, promote collaboration, and increase the visibility of alternative perspectives on technology and society.
Overall, these ideas are meant to challenge the status quo, promote ethical considerations in technology development, and increase transparency, accountability, and collaboration in the tech industry.
Pushing simple #KISS ideas like #openweb vs #closedweb and #4opens as a powerful way to judge and compost #techcrap to mediate the #techchurn. This can help to promote open-source code, open standards, open governance, and open data in technology development.
To work with this, some ideas include:
Naming the current “common sense” as worshipping the #deathcult and making #mainstreaming uncomfortable. This can help to bring attention to the negative impact of neoliberalism on society and the importance of addressing it.
#stupidindividualism is a term that refers to the idea that people prioritize personal gain over the well-being of others and the community. It is often associated with the last 40 years of neoliberalism and a part of the liberal 20th century consensus. It is a strong #BLOCK that prevents people from recognizing and addressing the negative impact of their actions on society.
One way to address this challenge is to promote grassroots, DIY producer governance through the use of the #OGB hashtag and project. This can help to ensure that the development of the fediverse is guided by ethical considerations and that it is focused on the needs of the producers and the community.
It’s important to note that it’s not always possible to avoid mess and challenges.
One of the challenges of the fediverse is that it is decentralized and lacks a centralized governance structure, making it difficult to coordinate and get things done. This can be seen as both a good thing and a bad thing, as it allows for a lot of creativity and innovation, but also makes it difficult to achieve goals and create a consistent user experience.
The #fediverse is a network of independently operated servers that communicate with each other using open protocols. It is often considered an “accidental” reboot of the #openweb, as it emerged organically as a response to the centralized nature of social media platforms, which are dominated by the #dotcons
While the #4opens is not a way of keeping large corporations out of the open-source development, it can be used as a tool to mediate and prevent any attempts to extinguish the open source community by promoting transparency, accountability, and collaboration. By using #4opens, developers, users and community members can have a better understanding of the motivations and intentions of the corporation and can act accordingly.
The #4opens is a powerful tool for promoting open-source code, open standards, open governance, and open data in technology development. It can help to ensure that the development of technology is guided by ethical considerations and that it is focused on the needs of the users and the community, rather than the profits and control of a few large companies.
Additionally, the website could include links to the wiki for more in-depth information and resources, as well as a section for community engagement and discussion. This could be a valuable tool in the fight against #techshit #techcurn and a powerful way to reboot the #openweb movement..
The website could feature a clean and modern design, with a focus on easy navigation and clear, concise information about the #4opens. The text could be polished to make it easy for people of all skill levels to understand. You can use the existing wiki page https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/wiki as a starting point and add more information and resources to it.
Creating a visually appealing and user-friendly website for the #4opens could be a powerful tool in promoting the use of open-source code, open standards, open governance, and open data in grassroots tech projects. This website could serve as a central hub for information and resources on the #4opens, and it could be designed to make it easy for people to understand and adopt the principles of the #4opens in their own projects.

It’s been happening for most of 20th C also. The horrific consequences of corporate capture and industrialisation of #agriculture were spelled out in stark detail and with great prescience by #WendellBerry in his 1977 seminal work, ‘The Unsettling of America’.A wonderful book, which makes for very sad reading today. #LostCulture #ruralCrisis #BiidiversityCrisis
