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.

I'm going to say this again and again: your own religious traumas are no excuses for you to be a dick to those who take personal comforts in religions and who have never hurt anybody with their religions.

Heal your shit so you can stop hurting others with your shit.

We need to stop demonizing some mental illnesses that aren't as known by many people until it becomes just another illness among so many others any human being alive can develop. At the same time, some people who suffer from trauma might refer to their abuser suffering from an illness not as a way to attack them nor the illness itself, but because survivors often try to find reasons for what happened to them, and they are just explaining what led to their trauma, without demonizing their abuser's illness.

We should not invalidate the feelings of people who have trauma as much as we should not invalidate those who have illnesses. The truth is that many people who have mental illness might have suffered abuse themselves.

Talking about personal traumatic experiences doesn't necessarily mean attacking the abuser's disease itself, or being an ableist. It is possible someone is only talking about their specific case, the details of their lives, their own private lives, without making any remarks or generalizations or accusations about those who also suffer from mental illness.

Both sides can and should be validated when one understands that just because one person with an illness was abusive, it doesn't make everyone who suffers from it an abuser, and the other understands that they are talking about an specific situation, they are talking about their abuse, and not attacking the disease you suffer from or saying that you are abusive since you have it too. Both of you understand that each one has their personal history with your respective problems and don't judge, demonize, or invalidate each other.

We can validate people who suffer from trauma at the same time we validate those who suffer from illnesses that were demonized as "abusive". But until we validate that, people in mental health spaces who come from very complex backgrounds might get their individual and private experiences put in a box labeled as "crazy".

If we don't start fighting for our rights (in the ways we realistically can) and accepting each other more and more, start looking deeper into ourselves and others and realizing humans are complex, then doctors, therapists or anyone in the medical area will still treat us with the same ableism, and all of us suffer to feel seen, heard, validated and helped on the hands of someone raised in an invalidating, ableist society who doesn't bother to change to help their own patients.

Support the rights of those who suffer from any mental illness, from trauma, from PTSD, from chronic illnesses. If we are there for each other, understanding that we are all different and complex but all of us are valid in our struggles, we can come together to ask for more inclusivity, for more rights, for less ableism and accessible health care. Please don't attack someone's illness, especially when you suffer from one yourself. Please don't invalidate others. And remember not to do it to yourself too. You have value. We all do. So it is best we coexist.

So many religions, each saying the same thing… 

“In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.” (1)

“None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.” (2)

“This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you.” (3)

“…a state that is not pleasing or delightful to me, how could I inflict that upon another?” (4)

“Regard your neighbour’s gain as your own gain, and your neighbour’s loss as your own loss.” (5)

“And what is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour. This is the whole Torah; all the rest is commentary.” (6)

“Do what ever you wish, as long as it harms nobody, including yourself.” (7)

The choice is simple: we co-exist or we co-destruct.

(1) Christianity, (2) Islam, (3) Hinduism, (4) Buddhism, (5) Taoism, (6) Judaism, (7) Wicca
