Tag yourself: I'm the private landlords sharing their assets with the solarpunk community
It doesn't even abolish landlords, what kind of weak ass shit is this. Read some fucking theory.
Put pressure on governments to minimize their power
Yeah I'm sure that will work
we go out and make a lot of noise together on wednesday afternoon and have the police cave our skulls in, repeat every week until we are all dead or in the super-panopticon
I just want to say that I clicked over to that thread with an open mind. And then the second spot on the flowchart read "AI-driven education" and it slammed my mind shut.
edit: Okay I think the general idea here is to form landowning non profits that reinvest the money they generate into green communities, slowly taking over by expanding within the system as it already exists. That's not a new idea, that's the same old "form a commune in the Bay Area" idea that's been tried many times and always results in either a cult or your shared living arrangement being bombed by the cops (or both!).
I don't want to be too mean to solarpunk people because a lot of them are at least kind of in the right direction, but going into canva and making a solarpunk flow chart might be the larpiest thing I've ever seen, what a new idea, no one has ever though of doing mutual aid and community gardens before
No need to be mean to them but definitely do not respect them in any way

The vibes are arguably in the right direction but many of the actual components of the aesthetic are vapid and reactionary.

Thankfully it's an aesthetic rather than a real ideology, so I don't expect political re-education to be especially difficult.
"Less taxes" right there in the middle is giving something away methinks. This just seems like a great way to lessen the power of government and empower landlords and corporations who will pretty promise to not be mean.
I like the for profit global fund.
Looking forward to this replacing effective altruism as the reinvention of indulgences in a few decades.
solarpunk lasted like a month before it got co-opted by the kind of people who watch kurzgesagt
Oh no, the neoliberal techbros stole solarpunk from the reactionary socialists!
I thought it was just people trying to make a positive cyberpunk, while missing the entire point of cyberpunk
"solarpunk is cryptofash" i scrawl on the blackboard for the 999th time. once more, with feeling!
I thought solarpunk was just like "let's do brutalism with more greenery", what the fuck is this shit
Solarpunk is a 100% vibes-based "ideology" where the aim is to get to a future that looks like this
Show
It has no other political goals.
Also, they seem to be operating under the assumption that the Capitalists will play by the rules
Remember the GameStop Stock fiasco? They literally went "No, you cannot do this" and flipped the table for everyone
It's liable they will respond and violently, I may add
so large amounts of people will be unemployed, given a less than minimum wage UBI. Porky very happy.
this is so supply side brained.
Yeah I stopped reading right there. Even if it was 100% effective and accurate education, the resource consumption isn't worth it. What's the point in adopting sustainability practices if you're going to immediately destroy the environment with your bazinga app?
This chart might be the biggest waste of 30mg Adderall in human history and that's saying a lot.
AI-driven education
Is burning down the planet for the sake of creating AI slop somehow "solarpunk" now? Did they ask ChatGPT to create this chart, or what?
Global fund: A for-profit foundation with goal of becoming the world's biggest pool of wealth
Green businesses: businesses focused on [blah blah blah] before profits
So are you chasing profits or not? Can't even be internally consistent in your own flowchart.
It's so silly when people want for-profit usage of capital, land and labour, but then also want capitalists to act against their interest, all without any sort of measures of enforcement.
Like, do these people think that the worst sum on this planet is just going to surrender their wealth out of their own good will?
This is a lot of work to do for some thing that won't work. I'd rather stick with the tried and true ultimatum of hand over your lands or be shot.
