Getting through this era of collapse with anything human left intact

The discussions on sovereignty at #NGIForum2025 make me wonder: what year are we in? It’s as if we’re rebooting grassroots conversations we’ve had for decades – but without the mess, memory, or movement that gave them meaning in the first place.

A breath of clarity came from @renchap, who said it plainly:

We need to focus our efforts on funding and supporting public value network infrastructure… THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT. 💪

Absolutely. If that idea resonates with you, try starting […]

NGIFORUM2025 is starting to timidly touch sense

DRAFT

It’s good to see events like #NGIFORUM2025. The #Fediverse and the wider #openweb reboot are real forces for social good, messy, hopeful, and grounded in decades of grassroots digital culture, we do need to support them. BUT we also need to speak honestly, as these spaces are not healthy by default.

Too often, they are co-opted by #NGO and institutional actors who bring with them a dangerous kind of “common sense”, what I’ve long described as the parasite class. We see this […]

"The incentives behind effectively everything we do have been broken by decades of #neoliberal thinking, where the idea of a #company — an entity created to do a thing in exchange for #money —has been drained of all meaning beyond the continued domination and extraction of everything around it, focusing heavily on short-term gains and growth at all costs." 1/2

In all currency sovereign nations, the desire by governments to cut spending is entirely ideological. It is just that refusing to spend is the best way they can indirectly harm the people whom they were elected to serve, without declaring their animosity. #neoliberal #fascist #politics

Dette : le système #néolibéral - #capitaliste met VOLONTAIREMENT en difficulté les finances de l’État pour justifier la destruction de ce qu'il nous reste de biens communs & mettre les gens modestes en coupe réglée... mais pas touche aux milliardaires 🤬
#Insoumis #LFI #GJ !

like really all people are asking for is for the #democrats to collectively admit that it's sort on "not fair" that elon has so much $ that he can literally buy elections while masses of people can't even afford a home.

not only is it not fair - as we have seen time and time again: it doesn't fucking function as a way to run a society.

#USpol #neoliberal #capitalism

and for the #democrats: you know there is no back to normal (normal meaning #neoliberal #capitalism) after this because what is now is a result of what has been, right. systems are the source of their own problems.

how do you win?

by making clear you understand that. i swear everyone in the US got this by now besides you guys.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Nowadays, any #neoliberal acolyte--in particular, if their native language is English--is most likely linked to what #EdwardLuttwak called #Turbocapitalism, which I think aptly describes the policies #JamesBuchanan's #VirginiaSchool propagates (calling it differently, though) and #Trumpism. (See my posts with the hashtag #Buchanan.)

You are quite right in your assesment, Mina, though you focus on the 1 of 3 #neoliberal
strands that is the pillar of #Reagonomics and #Trumpism, #Buchanam's #VirginiaSchool:

"...unlike even the most property-friendly founders #AlexanderHamilton and #JamesMadison, 👉#Buchanan wanted a private governing elite of corporate power that was wholly released from public accountability.👈" 1)

..."...the Virginia school, as Buchanan’s brand of economic and political thinking is known, is a kind of cousin to the better-known, market-oriented #Chicago and #AustrianSchool|s — proponents of all three were members of the #MontPelerinSociety, 👉an international #neoliberal organization which included #MiltonFriedman and #FriedrichHayek." 👈

We’ve Spent 45 Years Worshipping A #Deathcult – Calling It “No Alternative”

For more than 40 years, the default #mainstreaming path has led us straight into worshipping of what can only be described as a #deathcult. This isn’t just metaphor, it’s literal. We’ve watched the ecosystem collapse, inequality explode, communities fragment, and culture rot under the weight of corporate-controlled sameness. And through it all, the one thing we haven’t been allowed to do, culturally, politically, or economically, is to imagine an alternative.

Since Thatcher’s […]
