For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Use of technology is inherent in the world-view of solar punk. Solarpunks don't advocate for a return to hunter-gatherer lifestyles. Instead we advocate for ANY political changes needed to achieve the social and environmental ends we envision. Sorry, the anarchists don't get to own Solarpunk. There are good ideas in those camps and I advocate we adopt them. Any acceptable definition of Solarpunk is going to need to be a bit more expansive, otherwise we fall prey to the leftist trap of a circular firing squad.
Bottom-up solutions whatever they are will still be based on technology.
I never said solarpunk should reject technology entirely and advocate for primitivism.
Nor that is equal to anarchism, just based on it.
