We are not suffering from a shortage of “great leaders”

What we are suffering from a shortage of collective pathways. The crisis we are walking into isn’t caused by a lack of charisma or vision at the top. It’s caused by the cultural trap we’ve built around individual solutions to systemic problems. #stupidindividualism - the obsession with personal leaders, personal brands, personal genius - is going to kill millions and displace billions over the next 20 years. Not because individuals are inherently harmful, but because individualism is […]

We need to reboot "news" on the #openweb to tackle the challenges of our collective #stupidindividualism and the #techshit it pushes in the #Fediverse. Thinking about news on the #fediverse https://hamishcampbell.com/thinking-about-news-on-the-fediverse/

Why open infrastructure matters to the #OMN

It is about the Invisible Commons, every programmer - from hobbyists hacking together weekend scripts to the coders inside Microsoft, Google, Meta - relies on open-source software. It’s the compost layer under everything. Between 70% and 90% of every app, service, and system we use is built on shared, public #FOSS code. Nobody starts from scratch, everyone pulls from libraries on GitHub/GitLab, built and maintained by people who believe in the commons.

Developers spend two-thirds of their […]

Manifesto for the Hashtag Commons

Outreach for the #OMN path, for the past year, the hashtag story has taken shape, not as branding, not as marketing, but as a shared language for navigating the mess we’re in. Each tag is compost: lived experience, memory of struggle, lessons from broken movements, glimpses of collective futures. Together they form a map of where we have been and the ground we are trying to rebuild.

This story is now done enough to act as a tool: a framework that connects all the projects, all the […]

Branding keeps coming up as an issue

The #fediverse is a glimpse of a radically different kind of society through decentralized and community models of governance and organization. This path can be used as a part of challenging traditional hierarchies power structures, making it possible imagining resists to the imposing liberal "common sense" solutions which shape existing social control. On this very different path we need tools like #OGB (Open Governance Bodies) to grow native governance that is transparent, participatory, […]

Freedom is not mine or yours. It’s ours, or it isn’t freedom at all

The illusion of modern society is that freedom is only individualistic, when our freedom is in truth interconnected with the well-being of everyone. This is one of the central pushes of the #deathcult - the mess of #neoliberalism we still live and work inside. It tells us that we are free as consumers, that choice equals' liberation, and that personal success is the highest form of virtue.

But this is a hollow freedom. What kind of liberty exists when every interaction is transactional, […]

The roadblocks to change are #Stupidindividualism and the #Deathcult that breeds it. What keeps this hard to see is the petty politics and personal grudges, as micro-level sabotage, let’s be honest, some people would burn the future to win a petty feud https://hamishcampbell.com/the-roadblocks-to-change-stupidindividualism-and-the-deathcult-that-breeds-it/

@hamishcampbell

Social control? Sounds like you just brought up a completely different topic.

But again, you say it's about being isolated but now it's about social control which is the opposite of isolation... I really think you need to think this thing through more, because it sounds like you're buying into some ideas that people are telling you that contradict each other.

It's pretty incoherent, especially with the individualism versus social dynamic it can't be both ways. And in the real world, it's not.

@volkris @info

Looked at the post agen, makes sense, yes it's not from the liberal #mainstreaming It's why it's there, we do have to think different.

Am pretty qualified to talk about these issues as in a past life have an MA in politics and socially, ave actively worked in the area of grassroots #openweb tech for 30 yeas.

The point is our isolation is a part of the social control, Maye look at the hashtag #stupidindividualism

umm, let's not turn this into trolling please :)

The #mainstreaming is hallucinating. Let’s be very blunt, these people are not important as individuals. What matters is the path they push us down. The “commonsense” they sell is poison. Every time we let them set the frame, our spaces collapse back into #stupidindividualism or #NGO capture. https://hamishcampbell.com/the-mainstreaming-communication-is-hallucinating/

It’s Not About You

We live in an era where everything tends to be framed in personal terms: your brand, your feed, your truth. This is from the ideology of #stupidindividualism witch tells us that the highest form of freedom is to curate a bubble and call it a life. But this is the common sense illusion, the mess we need to compost. When I say “it’s not about you”, I don’t mean you don’t matter. I mean: you really matter in relation to others. You, in society, in collectives, in struggles that go […]

“Your Party” and the Fluffy/Spiky debate – a working path

Fluffy side: cautious, slow-moving, grounded in “keeping the peace” and managing optics. Classic problem: avoidance of conflict means bottlenecking decisions, blocking energy, and trying to centralise control, so things don’t blow up. Spiky side: impatient, direct, “get it done” energy. Spikiness pushes things forward, but often burns bridges, creating splits and mistrust. Neither path alone works – one stalls out, the other fragments. Their clash in the UK “Your Party”, just […]
