you're welcome to check out solarpunk thought leaders like andrewism! though i have to admit i doubt anything anywhere will ever meet your standards

How the fuck do aesthetics have thought leaders are you serious? Should I start calling OneohtrixPointNever a thought leader in fuckin post-gothic electronic shoegaze or whatever the hell his whole aesthetic is called?

Solarpunk isn't an ideology though, it's an aesthetic that can be molded depending on the views of those using it. I never said good people can't use solarpunk to push a good message, I said there's nothing stopping people from using Solarpunk to spread a bad message.

that's the conversation we're having, isn't it? i'd say solarpunk as an ideology predates solarpunk the aesthetic. che guevara shirts are sold in stores, after all.
