   More convinced every day we're* in Phase 2 with #solarpunk:

   *First, they ignore you* Radical compassion & cooperation? Justice & sustainability? Sure, whatever,you hippie. This is when you fly under the radar & have the most freedom to do cool work. You grow; undetected is best for a long time.

     *Then they mock you.* SOLARPUNK IS HERE
     Suddenly you're everywhere. Lots of people are talking about building a commune with their friends, and then suddenly some people are doing it. So they can't exactly ignore you. Time to mock this crazy shit!...

     They're mocking/fighting/coopting #solarpunk by camping out on the "optimistic vision of the future" and shaping it to be billionaire-friendly and not at all what those crazy hippies are talking about.

     *Then you win* Not at all guaranteed but if the wave is strong enough, if enough people want it...

     The co-opting is a straddle between mocking (which is inherent) and fighting...

     *Then they fight you* Now you're an actual threat. Now they'll fight you...to the death. Because real change is starting to happen and they can't have that. They'll make you wish for the days that you were just being mocked or even ignored.

     Phase 2 cont'd
     Time to mock this #solarpunk stuff that's threatening the status quo. We don't want anyone taking it seriously, so we tell everyone how ridiculous it is! Except that just spreads it. Because people actually do have the fantasy of starting a coop regen farm with their friends.

     Using AI in solarpunk is one way to co-opt solarpunk and greenwash AI at the same time. Sometimes that's intentional, sometimes it's just unexamined adoption of tech corp framing. They want to be the future--if solarpunk is it,they need to own it.
