It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.

It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.

It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.

It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.

It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.

It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.

It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.

It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.

It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.

It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.

It’s labour rights and less work.

It’s science and arts.

It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.

It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.

It’s sailboats and zeppelins.

It’s the speculative and the possible.

It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.

It’s global and local.

It’s me and you.

Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

Do not live half a life

and do not die a half death.

If you choose silence, then be silent.

When you speak, do so until you are finished.

If you accept, then express it bluntly.

Do not mask it.

If you refuse then be clear about it

for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance.

Do not accept half a solution.

Do not believe half truths.

Do not dream half a dream.

Do not fantasize about half hopes.

Half the way will get you nowhere.

You are a whole that exists to live a life

not half a life.

Khalil Gibran.

Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.

Re: “Ethnostates”

I think that what bothers me most about the current discourse regarding ethnostates — aside from the fact that it’s just blatant antisemitism and Islamophobia, which I might address in a separate post (but I wanna keep this one focused) is this:

Neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere, and they both deserve guarantees of safety and equality based specifically on their ethnicities. They need to both be assured, in a written constitutional document that they will both always have representation in government (ideally, equal representation), they will both be guaranteed protection from violence, expulsion, and segregation. They will have equal freedoms and access to resources.

And right now, the only way we know how to do that is with the dreaded nation-states. And, like, everyone railing against nation-states is currently living in one, because that’s the world we are living in.

Yeah, if we wanna talk open borders, I don’t know much about that. Maybe that’s an interesting concept or a very flawed one. I don’t know. But I do know that whatever solution Israel and Palestine will and must eventually find will be an experiment already. It will be dual state or a state that actively represents two historically oppressed groups who have been pitted against each other.

The government they create as a solution will be enough of an experiment already. Why is the world putting the pressure of an anarchist dreamland on them too? How about we let them solve this issue the best way they can and the way every other currently existing nation has solved their problems—by building a new, better nation to the best of their collective ability.

Why, all of a sudden, is this an unacceptable solution? Why do Israel and Palestine have to create your fantasy while trying to solve their own problems? It’s nonsense!

I really love fantasy himbos. Big, strong men that are "dumb" in one way or another and do things their own way.

Prime example is Geralt of Rivia. I appreciate his way of "solving" different situations. He's doing it his own messy, dumb, way harder way. And he's probably definitely doing it on purpose.
