it doesn't matter if they get rid of gay characters for a hundred years, The People's Joker already released, we already won joker-dancing

so have you engaged with any solar-punk media like the dispossessed by ursula le guin?

so then why did you call them credible examples?

so you don't think labourers are prominent in the credible examples you referred to?

i know artists often have other jobs, i was referring to the art of the welder and the rocket you posted, you can tell it was not made by a cosmonaut judging from the look of the rocket, unless that art piece was made by a cosmonaut?

i have read the comment, you're saying that solar-punk isn't fundamentally political, which i don't see how you think that unless you think combating climate change is fundamentally not a political project, and that a sustainable future is possible without ousting the capitalist hegemony

those who drew the art you posted were not welders, they were not cosmonauts, and did not observe them judging from the look of the rocket. how can you say the same about solarpunk artists from one flawed piece of art?

solar-punk is political in nature, it posits a ecologically sustainable future, a future without capitalism. do you think a sustainable future with a repairing climate is compatible with the nordic model?

are you referring to the google images from earlier that i specifically took from the front page of google?

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (19 children)

i posted the examples in response to you posting examples, you know?

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (21 children)

labourers are prominent features in much of solar-punk media too

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (13 children)

that is socialist realism, but an artistic interpretation of a real rocket isn't sci-fi

Meanwhile, solar-punk focuses on a narrow aspect of society leaving much to interpretation making it compatible with socialism or other social/economic models.

you said right here that solar-punk, an aesthetic that focuses on a sustainable future with a repairing climate is compatible with other social/economic models, or as you said in the title, the nordic model, which is capitalism

soviet sci-fi is not under the umbrella of social realism, and how is an sustainable future with a repairing climate compatible with capitalism?
