This is how digital feudalism works.
It offers the illusion of empowerment. Likes become validation. Followers feel like influence. Monetisation looks like success.
But the rules are hidden. The platform decides what rises and what vanishes.

De Onderstroom
In De Onderstroom ontstaat de samenleving van morgen. Voorbij systemen die piepen en kraken, groeit verandering van binnenuit.

Tijd om deze vandaag nog eens te posten (in het kader van “Nederlandse burgers genuanceerder over migratie dan politici”)
Uit nieuw onderzoek blijkt dat het huidige, hysterische anti-immigratiediscours in Europa niet van ‘het volk’ komt, maar van bovenaf wordt georkestreerd, schrijft Caroline de Gruyter. „Burgers klagen niet zozeer uit zichzelf over immigratie, maar worden opgehitst.” https://buff.ly/3Bj1sJG

Love this essay/manifesto by @anandwrites.bsky.social "Because having, and nurturing, in your life a sphere for joy and connection and community and love and food and music and human difference and living and letting live is everything they are not and is everything they are trying to take away."
The opposite of fascism
Living well and fighting back in a time of terrors

3. So don’t feel overwhelmed by the scale of it. Do what you can.
You already possess a fascism-killing machine. It’s called a good heart.

Lees dit interview met Tim Walz. Dan word je er weer even op geattendeerd dat vele Amerikanen denken zoals wij (Tim Walz is daar een representant van) en dat er wel degelijk nog zoiets is als een Trans-Atlantische gemeenschap. Wellicht niet in politieke zin, maar wel in cultureel opzicht.

NEW: Last week’s newsletter had ‘IT’S A COUP’ in big red letters on front page of NYT. Well, guess what? It still is. We have to stop framing what’s happening as in any way normal. It’s a coup & a collapse in the international order & none of this is ‘normal’

Hullabaloo over Donald Trump's North American trade war feint and Gaza takeover drew attention away from the real dirty work: a purge of federal workers and Elon Musk's unchecked power.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.
