It's weird to see this:
The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction.
And immediately following the most mainstream and established values of our time:
- Solarpunk emphasizes environmental sustainability and social justice.
- Solarpunk recognizes science fiction as not just entertainment but as a form of activism.
- Solarpunk culture includes all cultures, religions, abilities, sexes, genders and sexual identities.
- Solarpunk is diverse, has room for spirituality and science to coexist, is beautiful [..]
