We can’t keep going down the path, you can find different paths. We worshipped a #deathcult for 40 years https://hamishcampbell.com/we-worshipped-this-deathcult-for-the-last-40-years/
#deathCult
The use of #hashtags is a progressive and critical perspective on technology and society. Think about neoliberalism (#deathcult) and consumer capitalism (#fashernista), promoting the ideals of the open web (#openweb) against the for-profit internet (#closedweb #dotcons).

The defeatist Illusion of realism in the era of the #deathcult https://hamishcampbell.com/the-illusion-of-realism-in-the-era-of-the-deathcult/ Today, we are at a juncture, the choice is simple: continue down the path of capitalist “common sense” with its smoke and mirrors and building crises, or embark on a journey towards a different, equitable, and sustainable future.
“We, we, we,” they say – but who chooses the “we”?
Trump and Putin are the figureheads of the #deathcult and 3ed rate people like Staner are puppets. The #nastyfew, mostly invisible in the smoke and mirrors of #mainstreaming media, are the ones who push the "we". And they also invest in a part of our "progressive" paths, always much less affective than they need to be, let's look at this from the latest #AI tech the #dotcons and more importantly our own #NGO crew. The core of the #NGO mess: they claim to represent everyone, while foreclosing […]https://hamishcampbell.com/we-we-we-they-say-but-who-chooses-the-we/
The #OMN Path: Openness as Revolution
This is about revolution as regeneration, not only destruction. In an era built on tech dependency, revolution isn’t only about smashing the machines, it’s about liberating them. Turning tools back into commons, not commodities. It’s composting the toxic monoculture of the #dotcons into fertile ground for the #openweb to grow again. Revolution means reclaiming agency, not blindly rejecting technology, but re-rooting it into light, human-scale, transparent, and accountable […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-omn-path-openness-as-revolution/
The Mess is Boiling
We're in a mess, our worship of the #deathcult has driven emissions to another record: the world’s CO₂ levels jumped by 3.5 parts per million from 2023 to 2024 the largest single-year increase on record. Our decision to leave the #nastyfew in charge - our short-sightedness and worship of greed - has pushed the planet beyond the stable ecosystem that supported human life. We have done this for nothing, only for big numbers to go up, for nothing. The one planet we know that can support life […]
How we win: not through scale, but through replication. Small, self-organizing, composting networks connected through trust. Remember, revolution isn’t about blowing up the system. It’s about composting what’s dead, sharing what’s alive, At best, the old #mainstreaming is about equality in worshipping the #deathcult https://hamishcampbell.com/at-best-the-old-mainstreaming-is-about-equality-in-worshipping-the-deathcult/
At best, the old #mainstreaming was about equality in worshipping the #deathcult
The old #mainstreaming was only in a limited way about freedom, so we now need to focus on more on what it was about, equality in obedience. Equality in our blinded worship of the #deathcult: growth, consumption, competition, endless mess on a dying planet. That’s why #fashernista liberal progressivism is always a dead end problem, it plays radical, says radical, but composts nothing. At best, it sells rebellion as a lifestyle. It’s equality inside the system, not about freedom from […]
The Blockchain Socialist: Self-Destruction as Theory
The Blockchain Socialist podcast is the deluded self-destructive talking about the deluded self-destructive in tech. It’s a mirror of our time: intellectuals dissecting the ruins while still worshipping the same #deatcult gods that caused the collapse. I am listening to an example of this Urbit - a hardcoded, reactionary dream of order built on decentralization, doomed from the start. Not only because the code is bad, but because the culture is. Control disguised as liberation. Hierarchy […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-blockchain-socialist-self-destruction-as-theory/
The Open Media Network: Composting the Dead Systems
#FOSS Open source was always political. Let’s say that out loud, because it’s easy to forget. The very idea of open collaboration, of sharing code, ideas, and stories freely, was never a neutral stance. It was, and remains, a radical act of refusal. Refusal to privatize creativity. Refusal to turn cooperation into competition. Refusal to let the #deathcult of neoliberalism define what freedom means. From the early days of free software and the #4opens, to the #openweb and #Indymedia, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-open-media-network-composting-the-dead-systems/
The Cult/Death Cult Ignite the Stage of the Majestic Theatre — Hiatus Announced After Final Four “Paradise Now 8525” Tour Dates
Change is Freedom, Change is Life
A post inspired by rereading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dispossessed with the utopia reading group in Oxford In the context of #Oxford, this book is useful for the students jumping to the next stage of their lives. There’s a moment - often at the end of the teens when people face a choice. To be like everybody else for the rest of their lives, or to make a virtue of their peculiarities. Most people choose the easy path: they find a nice, safe hierarchy and settle in. They obey the […]https://hamishcampbell.com/change-is-freedom-change-is-life/
How fascism actually works
how can we et people to see that #Fascism isn’t just about goose-stepping soldiers or dictators shouting from balconies - that’s the cartoon version. The current danger sits much closer to home. Fascism is the extreme end of a spectrum that runs right through our everyday lives: hierarchy, obedience, control, and fear dressed up as “common sense.” It’s an old story of the #nastyfew controlling the many through managed fear. A dictator doesn’t rise from nowhere, they’re made […]
Monday morning. Last day of rocktober with tonight’s show, The Cult. So going with Death Cult for the morning commute. It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend. 1 more to go.

Freedom is not mine or yours. It’s ours, or it isn’t freedom at all
The illusion of modern society is that freedom is only individualistic, when our freedom is in truth interconnected with the well-being of everyone. This is one of the central pushes of the #deathcult - the mess of #neoliberalism we still live and work inside. It tells us that we are free as consumers, that choice equals' liberation, and that personal success is the highest form of virtue. But this is a hollow freedom. What kind of liberty exists when every interaction is transactional, […]
The roadblocks to change are #Stupidindividualism and the #Deathcult that breeds it. What keeps this hard to see is the petty politics and personal grudges, as micro-level sabotage, let’s be honest, some people would burn the future to win a petty feud https://hamishcampbell.com/the-roadblocks-to-change-stupidindividualism-and-the-deathcult-that-breeds-it/
It’s how humans have always lived – together
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 human history 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 […]https://hamishcampbell.com/its-how-humans-have-always-lived-together/
When dealing with #mainstreaming people, there is a strong #blocking from their incompetence, paranoia and mental health issues.
This is draining, we need good social paths to mediate this mess that 40 years of head down worshipping a #deathcult has left with us to work with.
