Part of the shitty mess we’re in comes from the failure of #DIY culture and the rise of #stupidindividualism as the common sense path. #stupidindividualism is completely unscalable in social terms. It fragments, isolates, and exhausts. That isn’t accidental, it’s a classic divide-and-control strategy of the #deathcult. And we need to consciously step away, and … Continue reading The rise of #stupidindividualism as a common sense path
Have you noticed how, over the last few decades, many sentences are repeated so often they start to become “common sense”? “You need to love yourself” is one of these, it sounds harmless, kind, even progressive. But this sentence didn’t only reshape how we feel about ourselves – it reshapes how the economy works. This … Continue reading A mainstream example of (stupid) individualism
The myth of the isolated individual is one of the core failures of the #dotcons era. Freedom and reason are not born from isolation but from living social ecosystems. The #openweb – and projects like #OMN – exist because communities build shared tools, shared trust, and shared meaning. Society is not a marketplace of disconnected … Continue reading Individualism vs Commons: Why the Fediverse matters, and the Indieweb is legacy
If you’ve ever tried to build something radical, collective, and actually useful, you’ve run into strong #blocking forces. They’re not just annoying, they’re dangerous, structural, and they always show up. This post is about naming those, calling them what they are, and understanding how they’re entangled in the wider problem: The #NGO agenda: Careerism in … Continue reading The roadblocks to change are #Stupidindividualism and the #Deathcult that breeds it
Funding is a liberal #deathcult at the moment. The problem this creates is that fighting the #mainstreaming is pointless if you don’t have anything to replace it with. We need this in our minds, a sharp critique, that current funding structures not only shape but often stall #openweb development. The issue is that #NGO funding … Continue reading Paranoid individualism creates mess
The is real frustration with “solutions” for the #Fediverse leaning toward #stupidindividualism and the normal #deathcult path, especially as these approaches undermine the foundational ethos of the “native” #openweb. What different paths do we need to take: This “native” thinking are based on ideas to anchor the #Fediverse in the principles of mutuality, solidarity, and … Continue reading “Solutions” pushed for the #Fediverse are #stupidindividualism which comes from #deathcult worship
The influence of postmodern thinking among #fashernistas – people more focused on appearances and trends than substance – has eroded the core purpose of activism: fostering positive social change rooted in love, solidarity, and mutual aid. Meanwhile, the rise of a new breed of right-wing “activists” using hate and fear to advance the agenda of … Continue reading The Problem: Postmodernism, Hate, and #StupidIndividualism
let’s try and compost this mess, there is nothing wrong with being your own person, having an authentic inner life, and cultivating a strong sense of self. In fact, psychological separation from family, nation, and community is a critical aspect of human maturity. This perspective was forcefully argued by the socialist psychologist Erich Fromm, who … Continue reading Individualism isn’t the problem, the “stupid” part is the problem
One thing we need to emphasize more is that right-wing extremism lacks critical thinking, as conservatism tends to resist openness to alternative paths. Our #mainstreaming #fashionistas — those who mindlessly follow trends — reinforce this mess by promoting this path of #stupidindividualism, where there’s far more “stupid” than actual individuality. The core issue with conservatism … Continue reading Breaking the circle of #stupidindividualism
In the current #sociopolitical landscape, building comradeship and solidarity is needed more than ever. However, the structures of capital and cultural norms are #blocking this path, promoting division and individualism that makes us all more “stupid”. How can we foster a community where #KISS class consciousness thrives? This solidarity and comradeship are meaningful resistance against … Continue reading Solidarity in the era of #stupidindividualism
Q. One difficulty that I personally have with your communication methods is your use of hashtags that convey meaning to the people that already know and use them, but are opaque to someone who doesn’t know what they mean. You end up being only able to communicate with people within your own filter bubble. What … Continue reading Talking about stories and #stupidindividualism

Our templates for video journalism are designed to radically simplify and empower normal people to make coherent video news pieces using the tools they largely already have.
