Prior to Oct 7, Gaza had one of if not the highest densities of rooftop solar panels in the world. The IOF has obviously reduced that through their bombing campaign. Hamas and being “woke” have nothing to do with this.
That’s scarily accurate and funny like the Onion. Isn’t that what the machines did in the Matrix? Maybe this is how it all starts
That’s a pretty accurate summary from my understanding as well, especially in times when the power is cut such as the current siege.
I’ve heard a lot about Palestinians using solar to power several electronic devices in Gaza but it was primarily from Arab media sources like Al Jazeera. While this was on the much more corporate and mainstream news it was easy to miss without actively looking for it. You bring up a good point and I wonder if there’s more use of solar energy happening there, especially in dire conditions, that we’re missing out on as it’s not typically covered by major news sources. Hopefully we’ll be reading more stories like this in the future.
Thank you. And those are only the confirmed dead. There are thousands more missing and presumably dead under the rubble.
You’re grasping at straws to try to invalidate me instead of saying anything that would back up your point making your argument weaker. There was no repetition from me so if you’ve heard this before it would seem you’ve had this discussion before and may benefit from listening. Perhaps you shouldn’t respond if you have nothing to say
A better example of a pogrom might be the killing of over 30,000 civilian Palestinians and simultaneously starving them to death with blockade following 75 years of occupation and a century of colonialism. Proportionality matters and it doesn’t favor your argument
One need not pretend something that is already factually accurate. This was a retaliation and direct response for Israel bombing Iran’s consulate in Syria on April 1. This is why Iran targeted and struck the Negev air force base ( which contains US F-35s used to bomb Gaza ) as that is the base from which that attack originated. This is also why Iran says it now considers the matter “concluded” and warned the US and Israel against further reprisals. Those are facts and not “pretending” so if you are going to “pretend” this isn’t true and try to distort the matter I’m not interested.
The best part is the UN charter clearly states that when a country is attacked, it has aright to self defense. Let’s watch Israel talk their way around that as they vindicate Iran and incriminate themselves.
We don’t aim to censor anyone. Mods don’t enjoy receiving or responding to reports. Just be mindful of the words you chose as I asked. Unfortunately a word you used jokingly was reported for violating the very few and basic rules of this instance ( no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia or xenophobia; ) that exist to make everyone feel welcome. “Hold back” on that and we’re all good.
I don’t see why you wouldn’t plan for any type of tangible material changes, especially when discussing a livable and liberated future, so that’s definitely something to consider. The building depicted in the photo exists in Milan and has one awards for architecture and urban development so I’m sure its designer. Stefano Boeri, did plan for this. Its been recognized for its positive impact on the environment and urban planning. Not just trees but a wind farm and solar energy equipment are included and the even the colors and species of the trees were planned in advance. While not seemingly super “punk” it seems like a good example of solarpunk ideas in the present which make a solarpunk future seem more plausible. It becomes “greenwashing” on when these ideas are coopted and used to advertise for corporations but I don’t see any yogurt ads here so that’s not exactly what’s happening,
Good question. Adding trees and other forms of applied solarpunk to concrete “buildings that have already been built” is different than prefabricated green skyscrapers which would surely be greenwashing. Images like the one in the article can be valuable to introduce new people to solarpunk ideas and positive visions of the future.
Please don’t use ableist language here even if it’s just meant as a joke. Thanks.
Thanks for emphasizing this. I was a bit disappointed in that episode. I don’t remember any mention of decentralization which is integral to solarpunk. One of the hosts seemed to just respond to the other with a lot of whataboutism and negativity that just revealed a lack of understanding of solarpunk’s relationship to technology. For example, promoting electric cars instead of public transportation and reducing the amount of cars on the rode. Maybe that was the both-sides-ism to create discussion but it seemed like a missed opportunity to really dive into solarpunk technology. Maybe someone from this community could reach out about our approach to technology. They seem like they’d be open to hearing different viewpoints from the solarpunk community.
And that he lived for so long
Not a fan of Google, the video is on YouTube which they own, but I’m not sure what falsehoods you’re referring to at this point. Thanks, though
Thanks for the constructive comments and info
Appreciate the detailed info. Did you watch the video? They did address native plant species.
Thanks for this. I love Peertube but definitely find search to be something that holds it back from being more widely adopted.
