Let’s look at this from a different direction: As a core coder your mission is to build pipes that carry data flows. Then your mission is to build 5 function connectors on the ends of the pipes. Then to build holding tanks, databases, that store the content of the flow. In each “holding tank” the…

Let think about where the #BLOCKS are on grassroots media.
#stupidindividualism and the #deathcult that breeds this 1) One of the main ones is co-option by #NGO agender, both, by organizations who push for “common sense” #dotcons paths and individuals who strive to build their careers by trampling over the grassroots horizontality. 2) Second, I know a lot of people who would fuck over the…
Anti dogmatic thinking
Brining #indymediaback The fallow flower beds/farm that is #indymedia needs to be bought back to life slowly with as little change to the structure as possible.

This was designed to disintegrate the social democratic 20th century consensus and replace it with a 19th century market fundamentalism. This has successfully and obviously pushed selfish over selfless. Over the last 20 years, this…

People send me links – one look is all it takes
My initial thought on most academia is wank, most is poisoned by the last 40 years of the #deathcult It’s better to go back to radical basics and reboot something from outside the poisoned mainstream, we are doing this with #indymedia reboot. Most “activism” from this source is little more than a funding drain 99.999%…
