Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Security is a social problem first, a tech problem second</strong></p> The #geekproblem locks us into hardcoded #feudalism, power structures baked into the code itself, with server admins as kings, users as serfs. To break this, we need to build trust-based paths first and let security emerge from that, rather than bolting it on after the fact.What actually needs to be secured? The account → If the instance isn’t secure, the account isn’t either. The activity feed → The flows need to be secured to prevent manipulation.

Wokerati<p>The reason the likes of Jordan Peterson and Ben Scorpio declare war on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmodernism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>postmodernism</span></a> is precisely because it’s about questioning the narrative - which is exactly what they don’t want you to do.</p>

Silje Erøy<p>I am seriously considering becoming a fan of post modernism. How cool is this?? And in contrast to the bland smooth new buildings next to them. So many strange temporalities of futures past and anachronistic dreams of new cities meeting in Høje Taastrup. Some now empty shells and totally exhausted. Some now to be poured huge buckets of biodiversity upon. Some to be torn down and some to be poured new money over. Some just constructed for the first time.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/postmodernism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>postmodernism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>architecture</span></a></p>
Hamish Campbell<p><strong>Decoding the Hashtags: A Roadmap for Social Change</strong></p> The world we live in is shaped by 40 years of entrenched #neoliberalism and #postmodernism, both of which have systematically dismantled radical change and challenge. To reclaim our future, we must reject the illusions of “common sense” fed to us by the #deathcult and reboot from a place of clarity. This is where the following #hashtags come into play, acting as conceptual tools for navigating, understanding, and breaking free from the mess we’re in. #nothingnew – A Radical Return […] <p><a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/decoding-the-hashtags-a-roadmap-for-social-change/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamishcampbell.com/decoding-th</span><span class="invisible">e-hashtags-a-roadmap-for-social-change/</span></a></p>
Hamish Campbell<p><strong>We can’t keep simply repeating this mess</strong></p> The last 40 years of #mainstreaming has been nothing but a slow, suffocating descent into #climatechaos, driven by a #deathcult logic that normalised destruction as "common sense." The worst part? A lot of our critical thinking is still shaped by the corresponding #postmodernism, which has left us floundering in relativism, unable to take action beyond fragmented, individualist gestures. We’ve utterly failed to build functional alternatives in the last decades.

Hamish Campbell<p>The tension between different approaches to activism highlights the need for creative synthesis in addressing the broader social and ecological crises we face. </p><ol><li>Fluffy vs. <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/spiky/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spiky</a>: A Diversity of Tactics The idea that both working within the system (<a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/fluffy/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fluffy</a>) and challenging it directly (<a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/spiky/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#spiky</a>) are necessary is central to creating a robust and adaptive movement. Building “common ground” is crucial, but the left’s fragmentation under decades of <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/neoliberalism/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neoliberalism</a> and <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/postmodernism/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#postmodernism</a> has left it standing in a metaphorical swamp. Moving forward requires reclaiming a grounded, shared space—intellectually, socially, and ecologically.</li><li>Revisiting <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/modernism/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Modernism</a> A return to modernist thinking—despite its flaws—can offer clarity and purpose, emphasizing structure, progress, and shared goals. Balancing this with the experimental potential of socialism and anarchism, especially on a distributed scale (enabled by federation and P2P technologies), creates room for growth outside the mainstream.</li><li>Liberal Social Democracy as a Step Back While the ultimate goal may lie in more radical transformations, liberal social democracy can serve as a stepping stone away from the creeping threat of fascism. This pragmatic approach helps to stabilize the ground for further progress.</li><li>Deathcult vs. <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/lifecult/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lifecult</a>: The Cultural Meta-Narrative The <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/deathcult/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deathcult</a> metaphor encapsulates a culture driven by greed, materialism, and ecological destruction. The <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/lifecult/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lifecult</a> offers a messy but hopeful alternative, grounded in values like ecology, social justice, and collective care. The process of “composting”—transforming negative aspects into fertile ground—is a powerful metaphor for this shift.</li><li>The Role of Undercurrents True hope lies in the undercurrents of social movements that challenge mainstream culture and provide alternative narratives. These undercurrents, messy as they may be, are where transformative potential resides. A focus on “life-affirming values” helps to communicate with those who may be entrenched in rationality or blinded by the logic of the <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/deathcult/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deathcult</a>.</li></ol><p>Suggestions for Moving Forward: Focus on finding shared values between different activist approaches to foster solidarity while respecting diversity of tactics. Encourage small-scale experimentation with alternative economic and social models, leveraging federation and P2P tech to scale these efforts. Storytelling using metaphors like <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/deathcult/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deathcult</a> and <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/tag/lifecult/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lifecult</a> to reframe conversations and make complex issues relatable and actionable. Education and agitation to challenge apathy and individualism by helping people reconnect with collective action and shared purpose.
