Why does it seem like so many solarpunk forums and posts focus on hypotheticals, what governments and politicians should do, and wishing for big things, but dont include real world, small scale personal experiments?
There seems to be a huge opportunity for hacker like, actual DIY punkrock communities, but i dont see many.
why? is alot of this a LARP? where are the people taking action? sincere question…
One aspect of the movement is convincing others to join us. To do so, that means creating imagery (written too!) that shows what we are trying to achieve.
The people taking action are the ones working in your local communities to change laws, protest, volunteer, or barter with their neighbors. The news doesn’t often write about them.
