Solar is lovely and all but the far more concerning thing here is that 30 years on from it's civil war, Lebanon still does not have a functioning government. More and more places seem to be ending up in this state, both in places like Lebanon AND in the West (looking at you Texas, or here in the UK). It's nice that at least some people are finding ways to work around these failures. But let's not pretend that that is a viable solution. We should address the actual core issue here.
- wara23arish 4y agoThe civil war never ended. The same factions just moved to politics. It also doesn’t help when political class is protected by foreign governments (USA & Iran) so change is unlikely also dangerous. Our problem is that we’re too diverse and fixated on religion. I worry about America if they continue fixating on identity politics with race and genders
- mschuster91 4y agoThe actual core issue is piss-poor governance in politics, but in the US, UK and Lebanon the governments are entrenched in a way that it will require an actual revolution to get rid of them - and the only place of these where a revolution seems likely is Lebanon.
