Let's be clear on the background mess, before the personal attacks start, this is not about individuals. It is about patterns, systems and ideas.

The danger is that criticism becomes an #adHominem argument - “you just dislike this because…” - instead of looking at the actual structures being discussed.

The point I am making is that parts of dead #postmodern thinking have ended up fitting inside #neoliberal culture: fragmentation, individual identity, endless discourse and difficulty building any shared collective action.

That does not mean every idea, person or piece of work in those spaces is the same. It means we need to look at how ideas interact with power.

The question is - What helps us build collective capacity in a time of #climatechaos, inequality and the #dotcons mess?

What creates commons? What creates shared action? This is the conversation.
