I wanted to re-post this #Solarpunk manifesto on my account, only because snac is very friendly with non-javascript and #smolweb browsers.

My Solarpunk Manifesto

Solarpunk is a radical hope-infused aesthetic and political ideology centered on building an equitable, sustainable, just, and accessible world where no one is left behind, where we build with nature, where we destroy all forms of exploitation and oppression, where we celebrate the wonderful diversity of humanity and nature, where we live within our planet's optimal boundaries for habitability and survival.

Solarpunk rejects unhealthy growth. Instead, it embraces harmony with one's environment, degrowth and decolonial concepts that are rooted in unlearning our unhealthy and harmful socializations from past violent regimes. Where we instead build with nature in a collaborative way.

Solarpunk embraces the Pluriverse, where there is no one way for all of society and people to live/exist, but there is a multiplicity in lifestyles, ways of being, and ways of constructing society. Finding the healthiest, care-centric, equitable, just, and accessible way of being in society requires collaboration and exploration by those within that community, and often is unique to that community.

Solarpunk rejects binary models. Humanity and the natural world exists in multiplicity. There are multiple genders, multiple sexual orientations, multiple ways bodies can appear, and multiple abilities, which all have validity.

Solarpunk embraces accessibility and inclusivity as the foundation in which to build society and relations with one another, where events and places are easily accessible to people of all abilities and gender and age.

Solarpunk rejects capitalist-individualism. Instead, it embraces collective care and solidarity between fellow human beings and non-human beings and ecosystems, where our unique individuality is celebrated for its diversity and our contributions to our community accepted at the level in which people are able to give.

Solarpunk recognizes the dynamic and ever-evolving process that is nature as well as its right to exist alongside human being's right to exist. We are in community, and that relationship with nature and one another requires collective care and solidarity.

Solarpunk rejects unhealthy competition and embraces instead collaboration and conflict resolution. To build a community requires collaboration and just conflict resolution strategies.

Solarpunk rejects greed and hoarding of resources that is endemic to capitalism. Instead, solarpunk embraces sharing and collectively/publicly held goods, land, information, and resources. This isn't to say solarpunk is against us personally owning things, but to say that:

* the land itself cannot be owned as property as it holds personhood within our collective Earth community,
* the public commons are crucial to survival,
* information should be open and free to access and use,
* Internet infrastructure should be open and accessible for all to use and held collectively by the people
* library systems are critical for the community and provide books, tech equipment, skill swaps, and other necessary items and skills for all to use,
* healthcare free and accessible to all, education free and accessible to all, where a diverse methodology of problem-solving and encouragement of discovery and reading is emphasized,
* the goods/resources needed for survival must be shared equitably so no one is left behind and everyone is provided for,
* all our infrastructure is collectively held and maintained,
* all of our society -- every aspect of our community -- is accessible to all who dwell in it.

Solarpunk rejects exploitation of others and one's environment. Instead, it embraces collective care and mutual aid, where we honor and respect one another's differences, identities, abilities, and actively listen and care for each other. Where we seek to do no harm and if harm is done, actively hold one another accountable and do repair. Transformative justice is often the framework used in repair. Where we work in collaboration with one another and the ecosystems in which we dwell. That we sustainably source our materials and engage in repair to ecosystems, to give them time to recover for any extraction we do to meet our collective needs. To never take more than we need and to use all that we need to avoid waste. To create things made to last, where we can repair and mend what we have and share those skills within inclusive and accessible systems, like libraries of skills, goods, books, etc.

Solarpunk rejects racism, rejects white supremacy, rejects ableism, rejects classism, rejects sexism, rejects xenophobia, rejects homophobia and transphobia, rejects antisemitism, rejects all forms of bigotry that treats a group of people as less-than.

Solarpunk embraces liberation, equality and equity, where no one is left behind, where non-hierarchical, horizontal democratic practices are utilized.

Solarpunk rejects borders. Borders are often used to punish migrants and asylum seekers and has been a source of violence against other groups of people that is rooted in supremacy, domination, and xenophobia. Thus, solarpunk rejects it. Instead, solarpunk embraces either open borders or no borders at all. Migrants are welcomed and needs provided for just like any person dwelling in that community.

Solarpunk invites everyone to work together collaboratively toward a just, sustainable, equitable, accessible present and future. Where we can start building that right now with one another even as we work to end the harmful systems oppressing us. Power to the people! We can do this together.

"Michael, Du hast doch viel über #Dialog & #Frieden zu #Israel & #Palästina gearbeitet, auch über diesen #Solarpunk. Hast Du echt noch Hoffnung?"

"Manchmal ist es schwer, weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass es viele Leute eher nervt. Deine Frage tut deswegen schon richtig gut."

"Klar nervst Du. Demokratie, Wissenschaft, wir alle haben schon genug Probleme. Aber die meisten von uns wissen Deine Hartnäckigkeit schon auch zu schätzen. Nerve weiter, bitte."

🥲

Danke. Done. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/ein-neuer-friedensprozess-fuer-israel-palaestina-wer-kann-etwas-fuer-den-frieden-tun/
