The intersection of #climatechange, #mainstreaming politics, and fear is complex but they do influence social attitudes and policies. Historically, mainstream politics exhibits a shift to the right during times of crisis, and the looming mess of #climatechaos is following this trend. In this context, it is essential to recognize the pivotal role that fear plays in driving right-wing politics and shaping public discourse.

Fear operates as a potent motivator of political attitudes and […]

In alt tech there are lots of people doing good, and they are, but this is blinded shifting to doing "good" head down worshipping the #deathcult, this would be kinda OK if they held the bridge to a wider view of "good" but they don't, they block and obscure there #blocking, this is bad, very bad as in the end the "good" they say they do, is just more mess we need to compost.

The real solution is always to respect and build from the fluffy/spiky debate, not bury it under politeness or pretend […]

For 200 years, capitalism, for the last 40 years #neoliberalism, told us that we’re isolated individuals who compete to survive. But our actual history - and our biology - say the opposite: we’re interdependent, social, and ecological beings. For almost all of this time we thrived through commons-based systems, shared forests, grazing lands, rivers, and community knowledge. Villages maintained open wells, fishermen shared tidal calendars, and guilds protected collective craft standards. […]

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 […]

The #hashtag story is about disempowering the #mainstreaming in our minds. That’s the first step, breaking the spell, realising we don’t have to accept their frame.

The second step is the affinity group forming circle — gathering with others who see through the mess of smoke and mirrors. That circle gives us the power to build the #OMN shovel.

The last step is the work of composting. Taking all the #techshit, the failed projects, the poisoned culture, and turning it back into soil […]
