“Mainstream” isn’t a good label in my book, but I like the enthusiasm 👍

    If willingness to put the climate and Earth first doesn’t go “mainstream” we’re all fucked.

    We don’t just need to be mainstream. We need a fucking revival. We need an ecological religion sweeping the globe. Because for the human race to survive intact we need the people of the world to be so passionate about ecology and the Earth that our politicians and CEOs either submit and transform their policies or are swept under by a tide of eco-populism.

    Interesting that AOC considers herself solarpunk. Maybe we are going mainstream. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

    Good. But leaves open to co-option and the other methods of destroying movements. Luckily solarpunk isn’t heavily theory based, nor dogmatic. but that’s also a weakness as we’re soon going to be seeing “BP Solarpunk” and even worse greenwashing
