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 devastated. But to those playing power games, this suffering barely registers. It’s written off as collateral damage.

The decisive battles are not fought on battlefields, they’re fought over narratives, attention, legitimacy, and memory. And right now, we have zero media distribution of our own.

For a while, #undercurrents helped mediate this gap. It gave us some leverage, some visibility, some continuity. That infrastructure is gone.

What remains is the uncomfortable truth: this is a media war, and we are fighting it without media.

That is the problem #OMN exists to address.
