#OMN (Open Media Network)Where is our media
Published Date 1/24/15 7:42 AM #Climatecamp is a clear example of the transition from alternative media to social media. When the Climate Change Movement began, #Indymedia was already in decline. At the first two Climate Camps, however, there was still a healthy Indymedia centre providing internet access, sustainable power, and shared computers. There has always been tension between alternative media and outreach to traditional media. They compete with each other and, to a large extent, […]

witchescauldronThe #openweb we need to reboot this path of tech, but more importantly, rebuild the crew that made it possible.
Look back at #Climatecamp and #Indymedia (https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2006/climatecamp/) radical, messy, collective. That energy built something real. But we also tore it apart. The reasons weren’t just technical, they were mostly social. Power struggles, blocking, burnout, mistrust.
If we want a real reboot, we can’t just repeat the same mistakes. We need to compost what failed, keep the working parts, and grow something that can sustain itself. That’s both tech and culture.
The lesson is simple: the tools matter, but the trust matters more.
Ella / UP1If we want to change the system from reward & punishment, to one of the meeting of needs & real #desires, it's going to take all of us in our own interconnected way 💛
Come join us at this year's #KlimaKamp or just check out the immense program for ideas.
Smiling-faced vileness: How enforced politeness becomes a weapon in grassroots paths
All too often, the ugliness we face in grassroots spaces wears a smile. It’s smiling-faced vileness: pleasant, agreeable individuals who wield control by blocking dissent, sanitizing movements under the guise of compromise, and maintaining the fake illusion of consensus. This is especially true in spaces overly tolerant of #NGO-style protocols - those bureaucratic, #fashionista postmodern traps that slowly erode the spark that makes radical communities thrive. From my work across decades - […]https://hamishcampbell.com/smiling-vileness-ngo-control-is-the-death-of-any-radical-community-path/

Organising in the 21st Century: What’s Beneath the Surface?
Let’s talk about how we actually organise, in grassroots movements, in radical alternatives, and yes, even in the broader currents of #mainstreaming. Like a river system, the real action is often happening under the surface in tributaries and undercurrents that shape how power flows and decisions get made. We can roughly split organising methods into two broad categories:The Horizontals (our grassroots tradition) is often celebrated, but rarely understood in practice. These organising […]

Organiseing the 21st Century
Published Date 12/23/14 7:52 PM
Let’s look at how we acturly organise. Grassroots alternative streams (and #mainstreaming river with more complexity) can be split into a number of streams
* The horizontals
* The verticals
In the horizontals the organising is actually pretty opaque – lets look at the tributary’s
Organic consensus – This is rare and generally fleeting, a working example is the rainbow gathering, generally as the project settles into place organic consensus is […]
