The Power of Film
The Godfather films, aren’t only stories about criminals, they're stories about the world we live in: hierarchy pretending to be community, patriarchy pretending to be protection, capitalism pretending to be freedom, politicians pretending to be legitimate, family pretending to be love. It’s the #deathcult mythos in cinematic form. They’re parables about how hierarchy rots everything it touches. Coppola and Puzo create a world where the mafia isn’t an aberration but a mirror of […]#mainstreaming
This is a real world look inside the #mainstreaming mess https://jmail.world/ lift the lid and tell me what path is useful to compost this?
The urgency of the climate crisis demands immediate action, and the failure to seize this opportunity through #mainstreaming inaction exacerbate the cycle of fear and despair. Historically, #mainstreaming politics exhibited a tendency to shift to the right during times of crisis https://hamishcampbell.com/historically-mainstream-politics-has-exhibited-a-tendency-to-shift-towards-the-right-during-times-of-crisis/
Historically, #mainstreaming politics exhibited a tendency to shift to the right during times of crisis
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 practice, projects like the #OMN and #4opens are examples of this balance: using basic tech to empower trust, not control. What does #mainstreaming do? https://hamishcampbell.com/what-does-mainstreaming-do/
It should come as no surprise that we need both action and community to hold together the culture, values and integrity of these deaminising digital spaces. #mainstreaming counter-cultures https://hamishcampbell.com/the-mainstreaming-of-counter-cultures/
While the liberal centre acts as a buffer zone that resists necessary change, supporting projects like #OMN can help reshape this middle ground by creating an accessible alternative to #mainstreaming stories and corporate lies.

“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 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 […]
We need to counteract the entrenched despair of #mainstreaming paths. Branding keeps coming up as an issue https://hamishcampbell.com/branding-keeps-coming-up-as-an-issue/
Branding keeps coming up as an issue
The #fediverse is a glimpse of a radically different kind of society through decentralized and community models of governance and organization. This path can be used as a part of challenging traditional hierarchies power structures, making it possible imagining resists to the imposing liberal "common sense" solutions which shape existing social control. On this very different path we need tools like #OGB (Open Governance Bodies) to grow native governance that is transparent, participatory, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/branding-keeps-coming-up-as-an-issue/
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 old #mainstreaming is about building equality in our worship of the #deatcult. This is why #fashernista liberal progressivism

We need to focus on real change and challenge. What does this look like to you?
Feudalism, #FOSS native governance? https://hamishcampbell.com/is-feudalism-native-foss-governance/ This is not even touching on the mess in the #mainstreaming #dotcons our fashionistas focus on, which is a powerful eco of this “native” #FOSS problem.
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, […]
#Nostr is a classic “me-too” project caught in the #geekproblem loop. It won’t move forward until it learns to value community as core infrastructure.
#Bluesky, meanwhile, is already drifting into the hands of VC-funded #fluffy elitists who turn every commons into a brand. It’s a likely dead-end for real change or challenge — which is exactly why the #mainstreaming, #blocking, #NGO, and #fashernista crowds flock to it.
When people have no grounding in subcultures, one that underpins our civil rights, free software, and creative commons, they apply their all-knowing #mainstreaming “common sense.” #BLOCKING the needed process, or simply ignore it hamishcampbell.com/people-block...

When people have no grounding in subcultures, that underpins our civil rights, free software, and creative commons, they apply their all-knowing #mainstreaming “common sense.” #BLOCKING the needed process, or simply ignore it https://hamishcampbell.com/people-blocking-the-needed-process-or-more-normally-simply-ignore-it/
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.
