Thank you for your well-thought-out response! I don't think hopepunk or its variants, solarpunk, etc, provide solace, but moreso act as reference points to help people say, "Our society could be more like that. What can we do to make that happen?" As you alluded to in your comment, fiction can be a powerful way for people to explore and shape the future.
