Talking about #climatechaos with many #mainstreaming people feels like talking across different realities.
It’s not just a climate problem - it’s the result of 40 years of #neoliberalism and #postmodern fragmentation shaping how people think about society, change and responsibility.
We have normalised a system that treats growth, competition and individual solutions as “common sense” while ignoring the bigger structures creating the mess.
The #deathcult has become invisible because it is presented as reality itself. So every attempt at real change gets filtered through the same assumptions that created the mess.
The challenge is not only changing policies. It is rebuilding the shared understanding needed to imagine something different.

Technology is never just a tool
Let's be clear on the background mess, before the personal attacks start, this is not about individuals. It is about patterns, systems and ideas. The danger is that criticism becomes an #adHominem argument - “you just dislike this because…” - instead of looking at the actual structures being discussed. The point I am making is that parts of dead #postmodern thinking have ended up embedded inside #neoliberal culture: fragmentation, individual identity, endless discourse and difficulty […] -
This time, Gemini and Gemini talk about an article Gemini and I wrote regarding a scientific paper that made headlines several years ago. This is one of the funniest satire I wrote with Gemini. Have a fun!

The point I am making is that parts of dead #postmodern thinking have ended up fitting inside #neoliberal culture: fragmentation, individual identity, endless discourse and difficulty building any shared collective action.
That does not mean every idea, person or piece of work in those spaces is the same. It means we need to look at how ideas interact with power.
The question is - What helps us build collective capacity in a time of #climatechaos, inequality and the #dotcons mess?
What creates commons? What creates shared action? This is the conversation.

Rebuilding Shared Meaning in a Fragmented World
A lot of our current mess can be understood through the long transition from #modernism to #postmodernism. Not as an academic debate, but as a lived reality. Modernity was about progress. It believed that society could be understood, improved, and consciously shaped. Science, democracy, planning, industry, public institutions, trade unions, education, and infrastructure were all part of this path. The future was something people could build together. Of course, this vision was never as […]https://hamishcampbell.com/rebuilding-shared-meaning-in-a-fragmented-world/

I take a look at the gravitational pull of Modernity and the failure of postmodernity and metamodernity.

Sophists – From Ancient Greece to the current #mainstreaming
“Being in #Oxford today, I popped into the #OxfordUnion to use a room. Glancing through the term card, it’s absolutely vile - and has been consistently so for the two years I’ve been back in the city. It’s a useful, if deeply dispiriting, exercise in reading the people and place. This is where parts of the next ruling class form their opinions and sharpen their instincts. Judging by what they’re platforming, we are not heading for a good time...” One useful term about this mess […]https://hamishcampbell.com/sophists-from-ancient-greece-to-neoliberal-mainstreaming/

“For over half a century and in dozens of books, Mr. #Habermas bucked the prevailing trend of #postmodern #cynicism about #truth and #reason, offering a staunch defense of #Enlightenment ideals and the possibility of individual & societal #freedom” RIP #JurgenHabermas www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

@Frantasaur Or put from a different perspective: the allistic mind is more inclined to submit to the internalised oppression of the #postmodern #spectacle.
The ’aspie’ mind is thus considered a threat to the hegemonic system. Like out times environmentalist Joan of Arc, the openly autistic Greta Thunberg. It csn not as easily be controlled.
No wonder they’re so keen of stuffing everyone outside the ’norm’ full of meds.

@BrianJopek The dumb motherfucker is what happens when the far right goes #postmodern.
It just took them 40 more years to get to the same dominant cultural aesthetic.
His dumbness is ”ironic detachment”. The very same thing critiqued by his followers, who are all in, doing it.

What is not real is pretending that violence is secondary to discomfort over language
In my life, what is real is people being beaten and shot, blood on the walls, evidence fabricated, mass arrests, torture in prisons, borders closing, and fear becoming an everyday condition. Fear isn’t imagined. Fear is rational. What is real is watching a police officer chat casually one moment, then flip instantly into an instrument of state violence the next. A human being turns into a mechanism: boots stamping, braking toes, batons smashing heads, cameras destroyed, people dragged […] -
“On top of a wild height, called Cowanscroft, where the lands of three proprietors meet at one point, there has been, for long & many years, the grave of a suicide…”
Hogg’s ingenious metafictional pre-publicity for the CONFESSIONS… (Blackwoods 1823)

“Published posthumously in 1978 and now reprinted for the first time, her classic study POETIC ARTIFICE marked a provocative intervention… It is not the job of poetry to deliver states of ‘inarticulate rapture’, but to be the articulation of that rapture”

“For the uninitiated: she’s a literary cult figure, a rising star of British post-World War II poetry and criticism whose career came to an abrupt halt when she died suddenly in 1975, at age 27… Today, Forrest-Thomson is more relevant than ever”
