Solarpunk at the 37C3

  • Then I'm sure you're also familiar with the ransacking of Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexology in 1933, where some of the first treatment plans for trans people were developed. It was a place where gay people and trans people were accepted and treated with respect by medical personnel.

    That famous picture of the book burnings? Those were patient records and the research archives of the institute. So no, it did not just start with gay people, and trans people's persecution by nazis was relevant to bring up because it's one of the first kinds of persecution the nazis did. Dismissing that is ahistorical and dismissive of the history of oppression of trans people.

    • What countries could you realistically see Solarpunk becoming a reality in?

  • Definitely not the Netherlands, we've got a terrible case of American-style individualist brain-rot

    Union membership rates in the Netherlands are like 10% only. Ever since the end of 'Pillarisation' we've been mostly individualist. The only real exceptions are religious communities and local sports clubs.

    We'll need a massive cultural change first to make people care about their fellow citizens again. We're too alienated.

    I think Denmark has a much better chance, because their society favours collectivism a lot more. But then again Danish society has its own issues of course

    • Any book recommendations?

  • If you're looking for theory, The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin is where it's at

    Any sci fi novel by Ursula K. le Guin will have solarpunk elements, especially The Dispossessed

    • reposting my shitty screencapped insta memes bc I want this website to thrive but don't have the skill or creativity to produce my own content part 1 (rule)

  • It's Danish for 'kiss'

    • Can we defederate from hexbear.net?

  • Yup, it's my home instance and it's a great space all around

    • Stop Being a Climate Change Doomer

  • Not only representative politics. We need to focus on grassroots initiatives as well.

    Both is good

    • Europe cracks down after rise in 'direct action' climate protests

  • You're also supposing that this climate crisis that the governments are currently inflicting on their people is not violence. And that the police beating protesters is not violence.

    It is violence, and we should be able to defend ourselves.

    • AI-Generated: Community Fridge - open to all

  • The title was edited then, it didn't say it before.

    • T-thank you, ma'am... 🥺

  • Wtf are you on about you weirdo

    • Eating the bugs?

  • Bugs are always a trophic level above plants. It's always more efficient to 'cut out the middle man' and eat plants instead.
