It is so over for solarpunk. First co-opted by corporations (see the infamous "Dear Alice" yogurt commercial), now even by politicians. Despite it being created as a radical anti-capitalist art movement, capitalism has managed to completely defang it and turn it into something acceptable for mainstream consumption. The question is, what do we now if we want to offer people an optimistic, radically different vision of the future? Do we keep trying to salvage solarpunk's true identity or do we scrap it and start all over again with a new aesthetic? What happens when capitalism inevitably co-opts that one too? Should we bother at all with any of this "hope for the future" stuff, and if not, what do we do instead? I don't know the answers to any of these questions but I hope someone else at least has some ideas. #solarpunk
@TheTedJamesExperiment I think people should stop daydreaming and actually get out here and live this life. #offgrid #nature #earthcare and literally step in front of the Machine. Until then, it's all thoughts/prayers and wishful thinking, no teeth. Short stories, poetry and paintings aren't going to stop this climate disaster or turn around this hell. People choosing a vastly different way of life is the only way to go forward.
