A story about our normal path
I have to be clear about where I’m coming from, as I’m standing in what might generously be called an undefined position. Not because I have no position, but because I’ve spent a very long time in the messy path of history that nobody has ever managed to define: grassroots DIY direct action. It’s a long history, a lot of people have been building things, breaking things, occupying things, squatting things, filming things, publishing things, arguing about things and occasionally […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-personal-story-a-universal-path/

Don't only try to convince people about the #OMN in the abstract, show them.
If a #fashernista sees shiny stuff growing on real soil, they'll drift toward it because it works.
If the #geekproblem finds a simple tool, they'll tinker because they can get their hands dirty.
The #mainstreamers will wait until it looks inevitable. Fine, don't build for them, build something useful. Build it in the open.
That's the #4opens: open data, open source, open standards, open process.
A working #OMN node. A working #MakingHistory flow. News moving. Archives useful. Trust built through participation.
We don't need better marketing, we need better examples.

The old system is already compost, the question is what we grow from this mess
We need to stop talking about “climate change” as though we are discussing a slightly inconvenient change in the weather. Climate change is too soft, too neutral. Climate change makes it sound as though something simply happened to us. It didn't, we pushed this mess, we built an economic system that treats the living world as raw material, turns everything into property, pushes everything through markets and then calls the resulting destruction “growth”. The next twenty years will be […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-old-system-is-already-compost-the-question-is-what-we-grow-from-it/
