#Solarpunk: A Deep Dive into the Cultural Revolution #Reimagining Our Future
The Philosophy Behind the Movement: More Than Just #SolarPanels
Solarpunk represents not just an aesthetic or literary movement, but a comprehensive framework for reimagining human civilization. Its strength lies in combining practical technical solutions with radical social and cultural innovation, while remaining grounded in ecological reality and human needs. As we face cascading environmental and social crises, Solarpunk offers not just hope, but a practical pathway forward that is both revolutionary and achievable.

Excerpts: "While mainstream coverage often focuses on Solarpunk’s aesthetic elements, the movement represents a fundamental reimagining of human civilization’s relationship with technology, nature, and itself. At its core, Solarpunk challenges the dominant narratives of both techno-optimism and eco-pessimism, proposing instead a radical middle path that embraces both technological advancement and ecological wisdom.
#Decolonial Roots and #Indigenous Influence
"Often overlooked in basic Solarpunk discussions is the movement’s deep connection to #IndigenousKnowledge systems and decolonial thinking. Many Solarpunk principles mirror traditional ecological practices:
- The concept of “#SeventhGeneration” decision-making from #Haudenosaunee philosophy
- #AustralianAboriginal practices of landscape management and fire ecology
- #Andean concepts of “#BuenVivir” (good living) that emphasize harmony between human communities and natural systems
- Traditional #Asian #agricultural practices that create #ClosedLoop systems
The Political Economy of Solarpunk
Beyond #GreenCapitalism
"Solarpunk explicitly rejects the notion that market forces alone can address environmental challenges. Instead, it proposes alternative economic models:
- Commons-based peer production
- Gift economies for local exchange
- Circular economic systems that eliminate waste
- Democratic ownership of key infrastructure
- Time banking and alternative currencies
- #Degrowth economics in overdeveloped regions
#TechnologicalSovereignty
"Unlike techno-utopian visions that centralize control in #corporate hands, Solarpunk advocates for:
- #OpenSource technology development
- #CommunityOwned and maintained infrastructure
- Appropriate technology scaled to local needs
- #RightToRepair and modify equipment
- Distributed manufacturing through #makerspaces
- Knowledge sharing networks independent of #corporate control"

Towards #Solarpunk Futures
by BrightFlame, Jan 20, 2022
"Solarpunk is a prefigurative, utopian artistic and activist movement that envisions what the future might look like if humanity solved major modern challenges like #ClimateChange, and created more #sustainable and balanced societies. As a genre and cultural aesthetic, it encompasses literature, visual art, fashion, video games, architecture, and more. Solarpunk carries many aspects of punk ideologies such as rebelliousness, #humanitarianism, #egalitarianism, animal rights, #decolonization, #AntiRacism, #AntiSexism, anti-#authoritarianism, anti-#corporatism, and anti-#consumerism. Similar to the cyberpunk genre, the big difference between the two is that in solarpunk technology and nature are in harmony with one another rather than in conflict."

Esattamente come nel 2011 scrivere alcune keyword sul cancro portava a pseudoscienza. La verità è che chi paga pilota Google.

Labor can’t subsidise its way through energy transition! So we need to tax obscene corporate profit and the super wealthy
Gas a transition fuel? Over 90% of gas extracted in Australia is exported for corporate profit, not domestic transition.
Difficulty securing a social licence? Rubbish. Labor has huge majority ie broad social licence. Worldwide >80% of people want climate action. The old energy economy profiteers disagree.

I went ahead and subscribed to Howdy because the streaming service other than YouTube I use the absolute most is Roku Channel cause it has so much of the weird 70s-00s TV shows and miniseries and such that I like and its commercials aren't as bad as Tubi. So Roku Channel MINUS commercials? Hell yeah, plus it has a handful of unique things Roku Channel doesn't that really appealed to me like Ash vs. Evil Dead or the '97 version of The Shining.

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a river meandering through a lush green valley. The river, with its clear, flowing water, is flanked by vibrant green vegetation, including ferns and shrubs, which add to the natural beauty of the scene. A small stone bridge crosses the river, connecting the two sides of the valley. In the background, gentle hills rise, covered in grass and dotted with a few trees, under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and idyllic, with the natural elements harmoniously coexisting.

The image depicts a narrow, metal-framed pedestrian bridge spanning a turbulent river. The bridge features a wooden walkway with metal railings on both sides, providing a sturdy path for crossing. The river below is fast-flowing, with white frothy water and large rocks visible in the rapids. The surrounding area is lush with greenery, including dense trees and shrubs, indicating a forested environment. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting shadows on the bridge and the river, enhancing the natural beauty of the scene. The bridge appears to be well-maintained, suggesting it is designed for public use, possibly for hiking or nature observation.

in reply to Auschwitz Memorial • • •: you are not permitted to abuse Czech WWII victims for your hasbara spam purposes. But you do that anyway.
If a Czech holocaust victim is found at all in your online victims database, the record never contains an adorable pre-captivity photograph (sometimes a triple pane prisoner mugshot, typically a drawn silhouette of a man replacing a photograph).
However, commonly no record is found at all for murdered Czech Jews, like Laura Kussiová, in victims.auschwitz.org/victims?….
In addition, it is uncommon to find pre-captivity photographs of Czech Jews in the online Yad Vashem database, although usually a record exists (as is the case for Laura Kussiová - see the first screenshot).
Typically records describing Czech Jewish Holocaust victims ARE found in holocaust.cz/en/ as is the case forLaura Kussiová in
holocaust.cz/en/database-of-vi… (see the second screenshot which shows a warning not to mess around with the information and photographs provided).
