Sharing some eco-anarchism for our solarpunk hommies.

BTW, a shout-out to the https://freetubeapp.io/ project.

Hey everyone, fellow anarchist. I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate:

• Protestors all around the north stopped Israel help, thefore helping Palestines.
• EZLN dynamism to adapt to ever-changing situations and a great sense of humor.
• Protests Against Cop City in Atlanta helps counter-act authoritarianism in a country that historically has been the empire.
• AANES/Rojava territories exist and keep on giving a great fight against all odds.
• The Myanmar resistance against their fascist opponent where the alliance is giving them a run for their money.

I share this mostly because I'm are coming out of a very upsetting situation that I'm sure many people share.

To share the feeling that the world and our friends Solarpunks are imagining is being made in the middle of gardens where bullets fly like mosquitoes in the jungle. Too many. And it is always in our hands to take the necessary actions to put the seeds of empathy and international solidarity. To combat bigotry and hate speech while giving hope to those around us.

We are not saviors, not at all. People can only save themselves, and it is that friendly hand, the shoulder where you can cry, and the compañerxs you can trust who push and guide us to see in this significant penumbra.

So, l want to celebrate that you guys exist. You artists who imagine the future; you freedom-fighters; you who choose to identify as or decided to love a man, woman, or non-binary people; you workers who share their know-how; you parents who care for the future; you from the global south or north; you from whatever skin color you were born with: I celebrate you, and I applaud your work so far.

Let me know of any progress I may have missed in my message of individuals striving for autonomy and acknowledgment so that we can celebrate their achievements even more.

I hope you all have a great day, and remember that, at least from this geography of South America, at least one capybara is celebrating you.

"Force is that which makes a thing of whoever submits to it. Exercised to the extreme, it makes the human being a thing quite literally, that is, a dead body. Someone was there and, the next moment, no one. The Iliad never tires of presenting us this tableau [...]

The force that kills is summary and crude. How much more varied in operation, how much more stunning in effect is that other sort of force, that which does not kill, or rather does not kill just yet. It will kill for a certainty, or it will kill perhaps, or it may merely hang over the being it can kill at any instant; in all cases, it changes the human being into stone. From the power to change a human being into a thing by making him die there comes another power, in its way more momentous, that of making a still living human being into a thing. He is living, he has a soul; he is nonetheless a thing. Strange being—a thing with a soul; strange situation for the soul! Who can say how it must each moment conform itself, twist and contort itself? It was not created to inhabit a thing; when it compels itself to do so, it endures violence through and through."

Simone Weil on her text about The Iliad, or The Poem of Force

I was introduced to Simone Weil and her thoughts on the force by a philosopher I admired when he spoke about this poem while discussing the war in Palestine with his audience. I find them to be profound. By far, it has been the definition of force I find more natural to talk about when I reflect on the nature of violence.

You guys might like it or discuss it.

Keep on fighting the good fight, fellow compañeros.

Our good compañero Andrewism just uploaded a new video about Solarpunk. In this case, he's covering plants and their many uses for our future solarpunk societies.
