Capitalism, especially in its late-stage #neoliberal form, has always had significant structural problems. In recent decades, these problems have been amplified and globalized through our lived society, I look here at the path of the digital platforms, what we call at the #OMN the #dotcons. The first thing to understand is these companies are not … Continue reading Criticisms of capitalism and its digital children, the #dotcons
There are meany sides to the current mess, it’s worth looking at them. An example the #mainstreaming path of paywalls stacked on paywalls isn’t any real life, it’s a trap, which we need a way out. In our everyday lives, we’ve come to accept the absurd: And if you miss a payment? Game over (inspired … Continue reading Capitalism is a hostage situation -Not an economy
In our media and tech projects, we’re walking two very different paths – often without any or partly realising the tension between them. On one side, we’re seceding under capitalism. That means navigating funding applications, #NGO partnerships, grant cycles, and institutional compromises. It’s where projects get trimmed down to what’s legible to funders. It’s survival, … Continue reading Two paths, one bridge: Seceding under capitalism vs. seceding toward change

Professor Brett Christophers (Uppsala University) This lecture will explore the shortcomings of market-driven solutions to the climate crisis, the role of green energy, and the structural limits of capitalism in addressing environmental challenges. The climate crisis is getting worse, not better. We are burning more fossil fuels, not less. Even with the massive expansion of … Continue reading Market Failure: Green Energy, Capitalism, and the Path We’re Not Taking
In the modern world, #neoliberalism penetrates every aspect of our lives. It commodifies not only goods and services but human relations, creativity, and increasingly the natural world. This historical #deathcult is designed to obscure its roots and operations, keeping people powerless and confused, while ensuring the prosperity of a greedy and #nastyfew. By stripping away … Continue reading The #deathcult we worship: Totalitarian capitalism consumes everything
#Socialism is a socio-economic path where the production (factories, mines, machinery, tools, raw materials, land, buildings, means of transport, etc.) are “owned” and controlled by the public. The goal is to create a basic equitable distribution of wealth and power by reducing the wide disparities seen in capitalist societies. Socialism abolishes private control of the … Continue reading Socialism and Capitalism
Let’s look at capitalism through the lens of #dotcons (a term that plays on “dot-coms” with a critical twist). “Capitalism is the logic of the #dotcons” shows how these paths have shaped the #openweb into a landscape to prioritize profit over public good, leading to the current mess of exploitation, centralization, surveillance, and inequality. We … Continue reading Capitalism is the logic of the #dotcons

Anti-capitalism is a political movement that challenges the current economic system, it is based on the understanding that capitalism is unjust and creates inequality, concentrates power in the hands of the few and nasty corporations, and exploits workers and resources for profit. One alternative to capitalism proposed by anti-capitalists is socialism. Socialism advocates for public … Continue reading Anti-capitalism
Criticisms of capitalism: * Income inequality: Capitalism leads to greater income inequality, as those who own capital and assets are able to accumulate wealth at a faster rate than those who rely on wages. * Exploitation: Capitalism results in the exploitation of workers, who are paid low wages, work in poor conditions, and have limited … Continue reading Criticisms of capitalism and its digital children the #dotcons
Reminder: Climate Change Was No Accident As far back as 1982, fossil fuel executives knew they were trading a few… Q. I notice you have used the #deathcult hashtag a few times recently on posts about capitalism, neo-liberalism and green consumerism, so I thought I would look it up.
