eena meena me

@InvaderXan @soft hi, which city do i have to move to get this?

toxicodendron radicans

@meena @soft A better question would be, how can we make every city like this?

@InvaderXan @meena @soft (looked at the picture for 2 minutes like "is that Paris?" before realizing there was an eiffel tower at the back xD)

this is very very nice

@furkachi @meena @soft It's a future we could have, too. If we collectively choose to.

@InvaderXan @meena @soft Oh very much so

eeeeexcept we'd have to be careful i guess about the recuperation of similar designs and architectures in the creation of a pseudo-ecological message of putting trees in glass buildings while producing electricity from fossil fuels or creating it through the exploitation of 3rd world countries

(it's my only issue with the solarpunk aesthetics, which I do greatly enjoy tbh)

@furkachi I mean, it's called solarpunk because a major driving force is to ditch fossil fuels and use renewable energy (even though a lot of people seem to have forgotten why the word solar is there). Removal of exploitative and oppressive systems is a central point. Anyone who ignores these two things is doing it extremely wrong.

@InvaderXan Oh yeah that's very fucking true ! And hopefully anyone pushing forward these ideas will definitely be careful of that.

Then again, looking at how 'Queer' and 'Gay culture' have been recuperated, and seeing as we're square hit in the middle of "green is good", I'm kinda scared someone's gonna end up trying

@furkachi We just need to keep a critical mind and be wary of green capitalism and suchlike. Some are making a true attempt to improve the world. Others just want to give that impression so they can sell you stuff and maintain the status quo.

Greenwashing isn't hard to see through if you know what to look for, and you take a little time to think about it.

@InvaderXan And hopefully it stays that way to be honest. With very large transnational holdings and corporations owning more and more stuff, to the point where the vegan simili-meat you're buying may be sold by a company owned by another company that's committing awful ecological crimes (food related or not), I'm scared it's going to get more and more obfuscated.

But that's very much my fatalist side, and probably giving them too much credit to be honest x3
