  we envision the future through fiction, art, and in this case, animation.

  would you prefer a future imagined on extrapolating our oligarchy of billionaires?

  Ask yourself.

    Nothing wrong with enjoying art and media that envisions a future, but when you look at the art and go “hmm i’m gonna make this my ideology, my political identity” with no (or very little) research/analysis on what we currently have, what needs changing, how this change would be achieved etc, then don’t be surprised when some people don’t take it seriously.

      So because we can’t immediately fix our world, we should abandon all hopes and dreams of a better future?

      If people want to envision a future for mankind that is a bit farfetched, what’s the harm? Let it inspire people to make the world a better place. Better than being a cynical prick who scoffs at any sort of positive ideology.

        If that’s the conclusion you’re taking from me saying “maybe adopting your political views and ideology from a couple of drawings and a commercial is silly”, then you’re absolutely correct. After all, there’s either solarpunk or doomerism - nothing in between, no alternatives, just those two options.

        My god, I doubt that even the artists who draw solarpunk take the movement seriously enough to go for such bad faith leaps of logic as you.

  Imagine thinking people want solarpunk because of this ad, and not realizing that this ad was made because people already want solarpunk

    Yeah, solarpunk predates the ad, that is very true. It’s still funny that so much of the modern solarpunk ad is based on the advert

  Imagine having an ideology based on slavery, hate and oppression.

  My response to the meme was “some college drop out got super duper high after halfway understanding an economics textbook.”
