In the era of the #deathcult, it has become common sense that mainstream culture produces its share of ugliness. We think this needs to be said plainly and often if we're to have any hope of pushing back against the fear that breeds hate. The growth of a #lifecult - a genuine alternative rooted in solidarity and care - isn't without its own complications, but it's a necessary counter-balance.

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/

For the logic choppers, the words are not for you, you are a knife, we are talking about metaphors and inspiration, the building of hope. #deathcult and #lifecult are useful metaphors for human nature https://hamishcampbell.com/deathcult-and-lifecult-are-metaphors-of-human-nature/

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 […] -
We need balance in the continuing support for mess and a real shift to things that matter in #openweb tech
The Open Governance Body (#OGB) is a radical approach to decentralized governance, designed to address the failures of existing governance models by combining activist organizing techniques with decentralized federated technology like #ActivityPub. It provides a very flexible governance framework that can be used across different communities, from local markets to the #Fediverse, creating a scalable and human-centric decision-making path.Real-world applications, the #OGB can be applied to […] -
@evan ahaa.. the agenda is that #ActivityPub is the culture, so the technology is important, but the serendipity that allowed a #lifecult to slip past the #deathcult when the #dotcons people turned up to that first few #WC3 meetings then went away saying nothing interesting here...
The value is the history of how we got there, the spec is a footnote, it's the (cultural) ideas that are embodied in the spec that have the power. And if you dig a little, it's clearly a #counterculture :)
