Hamish Campbell<p>What a waste of public money, this <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/fashernista/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fashernista</a> career-building projects.</p><p>When you think using social media is “natural,” remember you’re feeding <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/dotcons/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcons</a>—platforms built on the worst parts of human nature. If you want civilization and society to have a future, you cannot keep supporting this. The <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/encryptionists/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#encryptionists</a> sit at the heart of our current grassroots media tech disaster, while careerist <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/mainstreaming/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mainstreaming</a> pisses from the other side. But shit makes good compost—and we have the shovels.</p><p>OMN is a path forward. Pessimism may travel faster than optimism, but only optimism holds the potential for real change. Feed the problem or solve the problem. There is no mythical “third way” out of this mess. What we have are shovels, <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/omn/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OMN</a>, and shit for compost. Work hard enough, and you’ll get flowers and tasty vegetables. 🌸🥕</p><p>It’s well past time for composting. Let’s grow flowers. 🌱</p><p>Meany of our old friends in activism took the healthy internal stresses that once challenged projects like <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/indymedia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indymedia</a> and fed them to a <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/fashernista/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fashernista</a> vampire class, building careers by draining the grassroots for 20 years. This is not a good look, and these are likely the people you have to talk through when you talk to “power.”</p><p>First step, clearly <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/stepaway/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stepaway</a> from the <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/dotcons/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcons</a> and return to the <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/openweb/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openweb</a> for our communication and news. <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/indymediaback/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indymediaback</a> and <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/omn/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OMN</a> are solutions worth posting about, worth sharing, and worth doing. The <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/openweb/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openweb</a> lacks addiction algorithms. It will only thrive if you make it work. Gather like-minded people outside the <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/dotcons/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcons</a>—it’s a solid first step.</p><p>We must stop pouring energy into pointless <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/techshit/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techshit</a> if we want a chance of surviving <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/climatechaos/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechaos</a> and escaping the grip of the <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/deathcult/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deathcult</a>. Basic <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/kiss/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KISS</a> statement: What are you doing today that isn’t pointless?</p><p>On this, <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/indymediaback/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indymediaback</a>, <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/omn/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OMN</a>, and the #4opens need more crew to make the rollout work. For decades, we’ve allowed the <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/dotcons/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcons</a> to dominate our communication. Trump and Brexit aren’t the causes—they’re symptoms. We made this mess together, fuelled by unhealthy digital feedback loops. </p><p>Let’s compost this mess and seed real change. 🌱</p><p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/a-call-to-action-clear-diagnosis/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hamishcampbell.com/a-call-to-action-clear-diagnosis/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/4opens/" target="_blank">#4opens</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/climatechaos/" target="_blank">#climatechaos</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/deathcult/" target="_blank">#deathcult</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/dotcons/" target="_blank">#dotcons</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/encryptionists/" target="_blank">#encryptionists</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/fashernista/" target="_blank">#fashernista</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/indymedia/" target="_blank">#indymedia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/indymediaback/" target="_blank">#indymediaback</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/kiss/" target="_blank">#KISS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/mainstreaming/" target="_blank">#mainstreaming</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/omn/" target="_blank">#OMN</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/openweb/" target="_blank">#openweb</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/stepaway/" target="_blank">#stepaway</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/techshit/" target="_blank">#techshit</a></p>
