I (also) want to say; I'm glad to see this question.

Its easy to skim over difficult aspects, focus on the positive, and pretend a movement/idea is a silver-bullet. So I really enjoy when challenges are brought up to be addressed head-on.

Even if the question wasn't sincere (e.g. "checkmate atheists" kinda vibe) I would've answered it the same. But it was really nice to look at your other posts and see that, yeah, it probably was a legit question

Thank you. I appreciate your comment. I'm very invested in solarpunk, and would give anything to see a solarpunk world come to fruition. Without addressing the challenges and finding solutions, our movement will not be as effective. I'm happy that this discussion got a lot of engagement (by lemmy standards) and got people thinking.
