A few days ago an old question surfaced on the #solarpunk reddit:

"What makes the Solarpunk movement #punk ?"

Since I wrote a few essays trying to respond to this question, let me answer it in a series of toots:

Okay, but where is the -punk- in all that? It was supposed to be SolarPUNK, not a sunny everyone-get-along-now! Where’s throwing molotov cocktails at hypercorps, where are the mohawks and being the underdogs? What’s punk in starting a garden?
