I am glad you enjoyed it! I can understand your points. I respectfully disagree about the future aspect being critical. I think there might be a difference developing between the #solarpunk as genre and as philosophy. I think people like @solarpunkpresents are engaging with the idea of solarpunk as an emerging thing.

I think the frustrating strength of solarpunk is its openness. I don't think it can be defined in one way because it is by its nature multi-cultural and global, and meant to be expressed locally.
My view is that #solarpunk is found in a balance of four things: politics, technology, aesthetics, and community. I think solarpunk works best when all four are in balance.

The key is that each one balances out the excesses of the others.
I think that #Solarpunk is so multivoiced that we need all tendencies. People are going to resonate with different aspects. For me, community resonates most but the visuals might for someone else.
We can cultivate all gardens and bring everyone's strengths together and see them all as solarpunk!

By cultivating all of them, we can bring people into the genre and philosophy from various directions to the same place.
Thanks again for your comment. Do you have any stories or works that you really like?
