Where was I to find the info on this? I’d like to go if another is held.
Update: I found the link for it at the bottom of the article. It’s a german event, also.
Hello! My name is Rykah, call me Mercury if you prefer. I’m into punk (the cultures and the genre) and I’m a multi-media artist. Check out some of my work and my link tree over on Tumblr: https://in-a-field-of-paper-flowers.tumblr.com/about/

I agree. They’re not intrinsically related, there is a tiny overlap due to a schism in transhumanist thought. I consider myself a natural transhumanist. Usual transhumanism is entirely cyberpunk territory.
Finally. Jesus fucking christ, took them long enough to do something useful with these sites.
I wish you much luck! <3
I hate TikTok but to disallow them to use it or any social platform just due to being prisoners is incredibly fucked up. America’s prison population is a huge percentage of the population. You can’t silence people this way. This is beyond evil when a large amount of prisoners have arguably been wrongly or unfairly incarcerated. Let’s not forget how many innocent black men have been arrested and killed by the police. Some states arrest people just for being homeless. We’re also seeing mass arrests of protestors right now due to the genocide and war protestor arrests are common in contemporary American history. The Supreme Court is going to have to step in on this. Wish we didn’t have such a shitty Supreme Court gang right now. Hell, they’ll probably support it. This country is ruined.
I get where you’re coming from. It’s a tandem tech and should stay in that consideration. It’s a diversity of tactics in the fight against petrochems. That industry is too big for just one avenue, at least of the ones we currently have.
I missed this survey. I find the gender demographics intriguing. I’m unsure why this survey was so very male-dominated. That’s really something to ponder about. Is it an internet issue, or is it something about the ideology itself? Are women in some way being restricted from solarpunk thought? This is phenomena of note in leftism, as well. I find it very perplexing, especially considering the shared goal of equality in these ideologies. I cannot believe women wouldn’t be incredibly attracted to solarpunk, it can quite seriously be summed up with one word: care. If women aren’t at least equal in their interest in the ideology, it seems to me something is very wrong. Thanks for doing the survey though. Nice to see what’s going on in the community, statistically.
This is so lovely! Thank you for sharing <3
I don’t really think it is especially in comparison to petrochemicals, but hydroelectric dams also isn’t my favorite green energy. They displace too much matter while also reducing the wildlife of the project area for me to feel comfortable with it. I think perhaps there’s further ways water could be used to make electricity that are underestimated or even unknown. I like “old-school” hydroelectrics, watermills. In my opinion this is an example really of individualistic green energy being a better environmental decision on the whole. Such will reduce the damage of our energy needs. Power to the people.
Extremely peculiar this got no likes. These are good media references. This whole platform is so damn weird.
Update: It’s gotta be the sense of humor.
I think it actually may be a human failing, because human rights have been iffy as hell for all of recorded civilization. This is why it is argued by some that robots could be superior and consider us as too errant to allow continued existence. Perhaps, having an exactly defined and unwavering moral code, actually will make them superior and also save our asses. It seems like the reason human rights keep being disrespected is that people kinda just do whatever they want, and it seems like half the time what they want is cruel or harmful. I think until we find a way to increase mass empathy, our species is definitely gonna keep harming itself until it (and probably everything else) goes extinct. I feel robots (actually existing) are kind of antithetical to empathy, especially under capitalism, especially while made of hazardous materials that require ripping up the earth. I do however think discussion and content of this subject really opens up the dialogue on rights of all intelligent beings and the definitions of intelligence itself and I find that very important. I think we should perhaps be at this time more focused towards expanding the rights of humans and animals before robots, though. Like, this subject is so “getting ahead of ourselves”, as Solarpunks, that it’s almost kinda funny. Strikes me more as Cyberpunk territory, really.
Idiot troll. This platform is rife with y’all. It’s become an issue, frankly. Honestly worse about it than Reddit, which is super unexpected. Fact is that solar is one of the best green energy industries that exist. A person using their big money to help it, especially in an INTERNATIONAL manner like this, isn’t a negative. We don’t have a method of free perpetual energy if you didn’t notice, because somebody fucking murdered Nikola Tesla and destroyed his research to this effect. Probably there’s even further people that have tried and been murdered and erased. You can thank capitalism for that, which if you ever bothered to read, you would know I am fully opposed to.
The best media I’ve seen for this concept is “Robots” and anyone interested in this subject for some reason should definitely give it a look. There’s also “I, Robot” and “Blade Runner”.
Yo, we can’t even recognize human rights, as a species. Good luck getting anyone to recognize bot rights - especially when those (at least in our current state of tech) directly interfere with human rights.
I’m also for community solutions and I don’t oppose this. The rich are unfortunately also part of the world, they should be utilized as much as anybody in this crisis. More so, arguably.
Oh my fuck, finally a rich person did something actually. I never thought I’d see the day.
My phone, a cheap Moto, has survived probably around 50 drops and falling into a tub. After years it still holds charge fine and I’ve made and sorted through (probably) hundreds of thousands of files of content with it. My current computer has also survived a lot and lasted longer than more expensive ones I’ve had previously. It’s a cheap HP. I don’t know if this is exactly “solarpunk” but it’s technically low-footprint (comparative to industry standards) just because the tech lasts, even through hardship. I’ve also kept all my old tech and plan to recycle it after I’ve retrieved the data. Recycling is solarpunk, I think. I also have a vibrator that’s lasted years, takes only one triple A battery, still works great. I intend to get rechargeable batteries soon. Battery waste is icky and battery recycling is tricky (because they’re made of such hazardous materials). I’m hoping to get a solar roof installed but that’s gonna take quite a bit of time especially since my country doesn’t exactly have the greatest subsidies for residential solar.
It wasn’t a good one because that isn’t even the right term. Doesn’t really matter, the point stands. I’m not gonna chill about innocent people dying for these greedy corporations and you thinking I should is fucking sad.
Big oil motherfuckers should get the guillotine.
I fucking love Adam. I wondered where he went. Thanks!
