Not At Odds

Ceasefire Now + Bring Them Home Now

Jewish & Palestinian safety & freedom are not at odds with each other; they are interconnected. These things can must coexist.

We laugh … we cry…. we fight… we make up. Joy and suffering has learned to coexist. That’s what sharing a life consists of.

Solarpunk and Cultural Diversity

Continuing with the entire "Diversity in Solarpunk" topic, we get to the one, that Solarpunk as a community struggles a lot more with than the inclusion of queer voices. And that is ethnic diversity.

I kinda talked about it in the Solarpunk and colonial thinking post, but it is something that I generally notice.

Maybe I should not call it "ethnic diversity", but rather "cultural diversity" really. Because that is the thing everyone seems to be struggling with.

While the Solarpunk movement did originate in Latin America and is kinda intrinsically linked to Amazofuturism, at least in the Anglosphere it is primarily a white movement. And it is noticable in so many regards.

A big part of this is that white people have the tendency to assume that their experiences are universal. Which also makes them think that whatever worked best for them will work best for everyone culturally (and in any other area). There is a whole conversation to be had in the regard of this and religion. But it shows in many other areas, especially when it comes to Solarpunk or more broadly optimistic SciFi.

See, optimistic SciFi in general tends to feature a human culture based primarily in our western culture and western ideals. Even in stuff like Star Trek, that tried to question this, we see it still with the entire star fleet. Western culture + some spice seems to be the ingredients, there. When white folks imagine the future, they will always imagine a future based around white ideals, without even realizing it.

As such it obviously happens in Solarpunk. A really good example of this is science. See, western culture has this very specific idea how science is supposed to look like. We obviously could have a whole conversation about how much the islamic world has influenced the scientific methods... No, the point is, that other cultures did have science as well and their own scientific methods. And something that should happen is for western people to learn about this and understand it.

Instead of going ahead like "white science is best science" first try to see what you can learn.

And also (sorry, this is rambly)... when you imagine a Solarpunk world, allow for cultural diversity. People will still speak different languages and that is good. People will celebrate different holidays. And that is good. People might have their own rituals depending on culture around big family events. And that is good.

People should not be forced to adapt their lives to your culture. Even if they are living where you are living. It is okay for people to have different cultures. And to approach certain questions in a different way.

Instead of trying to imagine a homogenous world, imagine a world of differences. Because differences are good.

This is utter gaslighting. ☝️

  Even setting aside pre-State history such as the Arab pressure culminating in the White Paper, and violence against Jews in all Arab lands (the Farhud, etc.,) the overt, declared intentions of the full Arab world at least until 1979 were to literally destroy Israel - killing or at best expelling all Jews.  This was expressed repeatedly through war (including in 1948, 1967 and 1973), murderous terrorism emanating from all borders, including under the auspices of post-Oslo Arafat, and even nuclear weapon projects.  That remained and remains the goal of huge swaths of Palestinian society, including not least Hamas, a society that venerates killers of Jews and pays their families handsome sums.  To say nothing of Hezbollah and  non-Arab Iran, as well as the array of Israel’s enemies in the West.  What else does “from the river to the sea” mean?  

Arabs and Jews can peacefully coexist, as witnessed within Israel (with its 2 million Arab citizens) itself.   But don’t piss on us and claim it is raining.

If only Israel tore down the Apartheid wall, Israeli families and Palestinian suicide bombers could ride the bus together as brothers.
