- Comment on The UK just took a harder stance on Banksy than genocide 5 days ago:
The actual term ‘concentration camp’ was invented by the Spanish (as campo de concentración or campo de reconcentración) in 1896 – three years before the 2nd Anglo-Boer War (1899 – 1904) started. It originated during The Cuban War of Independence (Guerra de Independencia cubana, 1895–98) was the last of three liberation wars that Cuba fought against Spain.
A rebellion had broken out in Cuba, then a Spanish colony in 1895. The rebels, outnumbered by Spanish government troops, turned to guerrilla warfare (and here another myth which says the Boer’s invented ‘guerrilla warfare’ is debunked).

Rain keeps solar panels clean. Output degrades over time naturally regarldess.
I lived off grid with a 2kW system for a decade,. As a test we cleaned themmonce at about the 5 yr mark with soap, water and a broom. My measuring equipment wasn't sensitive enough to notice any difference.
That said I have seen small robotic cleaners (like robotic window cleaners) used on vast solar arrays, possibly an array that vast and a small increase is worth it?

Unlike genocide, that situations fixable by voters, we just seem content with what we have.
We could Vote Green, who have policies around higher taxes fo the wealthy and and corporations and dental into medicare, free universty etc
hell, I dont vote Green to elect the Greens per se but to move the syatus quo off the orthodoxy and allow the Overton Window to shift.
Nothing changes until voters do.
