Blaming “the internet” hides the real problem. it’s not “the internet” doing this. The internet — the actual internet — is a set of mostly #4opens protocols, neutral, simple, robust, built for sharing and connecting. What’s keeping people hooked is the #dotcons: the corporate silos, the addictive platforms, the thin veneer of #techshit smeared over the top of an otherwise elegant #KISS architecture.
It’s the platforms, not the pipes.
The #dotcons drained the VC swamp and now guzzle from the mainstream corporate socialism https://hamishcampbell.com/57208-2/ The choice is simple.
Kneel to the #dotcons. Or rise up, and rebuild the #openweb.

Oxford radical history
The scent of damp soil and half-forgotten futures, a version that flow, a sourcebook for day-to-day life and activism from a time when the local living alternatives were not theory but everyday life, in a small English town https://oxford.indymedia.org.uk/ It’s an archive now, a time capsule you can wander through. If this current generation is looking for inspiration, I’d suggest starting at the beginning, the last few years of the site weren’t exactly its golden hour.

“We, we, we,” they say – but who chooses the “we”?
Trump and Putin are the figureheads of the #deathcult and 3ed rate people like Staner are puppets. The #nastyfew, mostly invisible in the smoke and mirrors of #mainstreaming media, are the ones who push the "we". And they also invest in a part of our "progressive" paths, always much less affective than they need to be, let's look at this from the latest #AI tech the #dotcons and more importantly our own #NGO crew.
The core of the #NGO mess: they claim to represent everyone, while foreclosing […]

The Voyage of the Volga: The Wager
INT. THE OXFORD UNION – EVENING
A worn wooden interior lined with old photos and leather books. The clock above the bar ticks with naval precision. A few posh students sip pints and argue about lectures. Rain patters against the windows.
PRESENT:
HAMISH CAMPBELL, calm, steady, with a glint of wild vision behind measured words.
STUART, a skeptical undergraduate engineer.
RALPH, an economic prof who’s seen too much red tape.
FLANAGAN, a wannabe cryptocurrency trader with a cynical […]

The #OMN Path: Openness as Revolution
This is about revolution as regeneration, not only destruction. In an era built on tech dependency, revolution isn’t only about smashing the machines, it’s about liberating them. Turning tools back into commons, not commodities. It’s composting the toxic monoculture of the #dotcons into fertile ground for the #openweb to grow again. Revolution means reclaiming agency, not blindly rejecting technology, but re-rooting it into light, human-scale, transparent, and accountable […]

Feudalism, #FOSS native governance? https://hamishcampbell.com/is-feudalism-native-foss-governance/ This is not even touching on the mess in the #mainstreaming #dotcons our fashionistas focus on, which is a powerful eco of this “native” #FOSS problem.
As we navigate the digital world around us, it helps to remain curious and question the narratives our “common sense” paths serve, if we are to push change, challenge we need to recognize the responsibility that comes with the digital power. #dotcons push consumerism as propaganda https://hamishcampbell.com/dotcons-sell-us-consumerism-as-propaganda/
