One of my main criticisms of solarpunk has always been that without widespread systemic change on every level it will still end up perpetuating colonialism and capitalism. The very fact that so many people can't imagine a world without capitalism, AI, NFTs, DAOs, or crypto means a lot of people are willing to dream... But what they are willing to dream isn't liberating but a green capitalist veneer. A solarpunk world through this lens is still capitalist. It still perpetuates racism, colonialism, patriarchy, ableism etc.

This has been eating away at me for years and I didn't know how to put it into words until now. Solarpunk has the power to make drastic change. But it cannot unless the people dreaming, creating, writing, and building it work on rebuilding the very foundations of everything... Including the ideologies that they may unknowingly perpetuate. It's a very big deal and it requires a lot of listening, a lot of unlearning, and a heck of a lot of work.

As for me, I'm definitely Lunarpunk. I've been working really hard to unlearn white supremacy, colonialism, racism, and all the other b.s. we are living in. Of my 30ish years on this planet I've been steeped in it for half that time and I absolutely hate it. Being multi-racial makes it harder and it puts more a burden on you. You don't fit anywhere. Your history is lost to colonization. Your roots are gone. But you got to back anyway to go forward. Pick up the pieces you can, hold them tight, and make something better for future generations. Do that. Do the work. We don't have anything without it.

Sorry I haven't been on here much actually saying stuff outside of fundraising. I've just been really overwhelmed with what's happening to our planet and it makes me so angry that I end up essentially speechless. But today I went to the woods and while they're more mangled than the last time I was there thanks to colonialism... I got to see like 20 turkeys, deer tracks everywhere, I slipped in waterlogged silt, I froze from the cold wind, I saw a hawk up close, and the water still ran. The persimmon tree is still standing and hasn't been found, the wind still rushes through the branches. Get outside if you can and enjoy it. It's something we still have time to save.
