The point I’ve been making to some of the best people in progressive #mainstreaming is simple - over the last ten years, the balance of what you supported and funded has been wrong. Your texts say one thing, but what gets funded and built is a limited subset of what those texts claim to value. I don't think this is necessarily bad faith. But at some point we have to be honest about the gap between what we say we believe and what our actions actually produce. When the support needed is the deeper social infrastructure, grassroots participation and open commons, then our blinded crew become part of the mess that needs composting rather than part of the path out of it. We need shovels. #OMN #openweb #4opens #KISS
