Y’know I already thought ‘solarpunks’ were pie-in-the-sky aesthetes just based off their inability to plan even the first steps for their utopia-- but seeing this? Honestly I’m just starting to think it’s a white cryptofash movement JUST from the “Non-solarpunk Citizens” bubble. Tell me this mfer never read a LICK of theory without telling me. The object is to reduce the amount of wretchedness of this earth; not increase it to bait more people into your aesthetic-driven ideology.
The OP is being pretty rightfully dunked on in his own post, with most people saying that it doesn’t fit their orientation at all.
If solarpunk has any meaning beyond pretty verdant pictures, it would include “human-scale energy usage” as a core principle. If anything, the alienation from energy at point of acquisition is one of the biggest pieces of sorcery required to make capitalism function.

Small mercies there, but that still doesn’t really change my view of solarpunk as more or less a bunch of aesthetes who can’t even get distribution of surplus crop around their communities right
