It is a media war and we have no media

We are living in deeply befuddling times, and neither the agendas of the #dotcons nor the noise of the #conspiracynutters is helping. In fact, they make everything worse. That’s why it’s best not to spread the chemical crap. It isn’t fertiliser. It poisons the ground. Keep media organic. #openweb.

In the Western world, almost all the wars that actually matter are now fought in the media. Yes, the disadvantaged are the immediate casualties, and much of the so-called third world will be […]

A project like the #OMN does need to happen — and it’s harder than it should be.

We have already done this work.
#Undercurrents, #Indymedia, #Ruffcuts, #VisionOnTV weren’t theory projects - they were action media, built in lived struggle, with real risks, real trust, and real consequences.

#OMN isn’t a new idea, it’s a recomposition under worse conditions: more capture, more fear, more professionalisation, more #techshit in the way.

So the question isn’t “what’s the idea?”
It’s “how do we reboot a culture of action when trust has been eroded and replaced with fear driven safety theater?”

What do you mean by “mainstreaming”?

At its core, #mainstreaming is how we, often unconsciously, uphold and reproduce the values of the dominant system. In our time, that system is #neoliberalism, or what I metaphorically call the #deathcult. It’s the air we breathe: shaping our politics, our economics, even the food we eat and how we relate to each other.

In activist terms, #mainstreaming too often means pushing this dominant worldview into alternative spaces, building careers and institutions that play progressive on the […]
