Most progressive #mainstreaming is about making worship of the #deathcult more fair. There is real everyday value in this, but it does nothing to get people off their knees, it's about rearranging the seating. The project of change and challenge, that the #OMN is in, is about people getting up and walking out of the temple of the #deathcult we all live in #KISS

https://hamishcampbell.com/stories/ These stories embed #OMN theory and practice as a utopian direction of travel, not a technical blueprint. They illustrate a path of doing social change, not a finished model of how it will actually unfold. The reality will always be messier than the stories. It has to be. Real people, real politics, real power, real failure – none of that fits neatly into narrative form.
Use these as tools alongside the hashtag story to invite people in, if they help people understand why we need #OMN paths – and feel able to take a first, imperfect step – then they’re doing a needed job #KISS

Eastern Europe on a Zloty – Kraków to the Balkans https://hamishcampbell.com/eastern-europe-on-a-zloty-krakow-to-the-balkans/ Trust-based travel. Pre- #dotcons, before fear culture colonised everything. Before algorithmic sorting. Before #deathcult narratives turned everyone into either a threat or a customer. It was all human-scale. Messy. Improvised. #KISS by default.
Eastern Europe on a Zloty – Kraków to the Balkans
This adventure started out with a peace march. The Global Walk for a Liveable World had already crossed America once - LA to New York in ’89 - while I was drifting through Santa Cruz, not quite sure where the thing would begin or end. I drove across the States instead of walking it, then flew back across the Atlantic. Found out about the second stage in the usual sideways way, a line at the bottom of one of my mum’s Ribbon leaflets.
In March ’91 I rang the organisers in the States to […]

The History of visionOntv: What We Built, What We Lost, and Why It Matters Again
Looking back at the old TubeMogul stats - the archived page from 2011 - I had a jolt:18 million verified views, and when you added the torrent distribution, RSS syndication, video CDROM redistribution, and all the edge-case channels we seeded into, the total was closer to 34 million views. These were big numbers back then.All grassroots, all #KISS, all built on the early #openweb ethos, that number matters, not for vanity, rather, it showed proof-of-work for what a truly decentralized media […]
The internet itself isn’t the problem
Let’s be clear: the internet itself isn’t the problem. We knew how to build decentralised, humane, empowering networks long before the #dotcons turned everything into a behavioural extraction machine. The original internet - messy, permissionless, #4opens by default - can’t addict you. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t optimise. It just connects.
What addicts you are, the enclosure layers built on top of the internet. The sticky walls. The velvet handcuffs. The slick, dopamine-juiced […]

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.
This is #KISS and very easy, so where is the affinity group to make it happen? A sharp take, systems are visibly broken https://hamishcampbell.com/a-sharp-take/

The old #mainstreaming is about building equality in our worship of the #deatcult. This is why #fashernista liberal progressivism
is always a problem to compos #KISS
We need to focus on real change and challenge. What does this look like to you?
