Please lift your head from worshipping this aspect of the #deathcult

One of the core’s of #stupidindividualism is the fantasy that we, as individuals, can personally solve the most catastrophic problems. This mindset aligns with neoliberalism’s ideology, which denies the importance of collective action and reduces challenges to a personal responsibility. #Neoliberalism convinces us that our only role is as solitary actors. Instead of organizing or … Continue reading Please lift your head from worshipping this aspect of the #deathcult →

The #deathcult: 40 Years of neoliberal poisoning the #openweb path

For forty years, we’ve been steeped in a dominant, and largely invisible ideology I call here the #deathcult, which is a metaphor for the relentless spread of #neoliberalism that has reshaped our social, economic, and technological systems in very destructive ways. Alongside this, the rise of #dotcons (corporate, centralized tech platforms) over the past twenty … Continue reading The #deathcult: 40 Years of neoliberal poisoning the #openweb path →

The #deathcult we worship: Totalitarian capitalism consumes everything

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 →

The #deathcult is neoliberalism

If you’ve spent time on my website, you’ve come across the term neoliberalism. It’s a word that’s used so much that its meaning has maybe been diluted. You might have a surface-level understanding: deregulation, privatization, tax cuts for the rich, the classic “trickle-down” nonsense where we’re supposed to believe that if the rich get richer, … Continue reading The #deathcult is neoliberalism →

Mainstreaming the #deathcult metaphor

The #mainstreaming people are touching on the #deathcult metaphor, this is normal as it’s a useful way of expressing the horrific reality “common sense” has built for us to live (and die) within. And, yes, this is using the metaphor in a more narrow way, as it is mainstreaming which has hard limits on dialogue … Continue reading Mainstreaming the #deathcult metaphor →

Mediating the prat’ish behaviour and #deathcult mentality

When alternatives bridge to #mainstreaming in our #openweb movement and the broader #dotcons landscape, we find ourselves confronting a troubling dynamic—a rise in prat’ish behaviour, characterized by ego-driven conflict, divisiveness, and resistance to meaningful change, this threatens to undermine the real progress we urgently need. At the heart of this issue is the 40 years … Continue reading Mediating the prat’ish behaviour and #deathcult mentality →

The Illusion of Realism in the era of the #deathcult

Our everyday, often dogmatic “common sense” in capitalism disregards the history of socio-economic material conditions, #classwar, #ecocide, debt, slavery, violence, and oppression. In this we are currently blinded by the myth that there is no alternative to the current crap and broken system, this willfull blindness blinds us and obscures the brutal realities on the … Continue reading The Illusion of Realism in the era of the #deathcult →

We worshipped a #deathcult for 40 years

Our shared #mainstreaming for the last 40 years has been built on the path of #neoliberalism a political and economic ideology that advocates for minimal state intervention in the economy, emphasizing free markets, deregulation, privatization, and a reduction in government spending on social programs. It emerged as a dominant force in the late 20th century, … Continue reading We worshipped a #deathcult for 40 years →

Funding tech outside the shadow of the #deathcult

There is a complete failure of funding for the community (non #mainstreaming) side of tech, I have put in more than ten funding applications over the last few years to all the openweb funding flows. And the answer, if the is one, is always the same, some of the replies: ” This kind of effort … Continue reading Funding tech outside the shadow of the #deathcult →

The #geekproblem is a part of our collective #deathcult

There is a value miss match that is a core part of the #geekproblem and its relationship to “normal” society. One side prioritises the tech, the other the social, they then ignore each other. Both suffer and become pointless, or likely die out as a species in the era of #climatechaos. Build a bridge or … Continue reading The #geekproblem is a part of our collective #deathcult →
