#decolonize

I just realized there should exist a cannon of dystopias that #solarpunk s point to as a warning on what is going to happen if we don't actually #decolonize our supply chains when building solarpunk or keep the capitalist ownership structure when building our green future. To me, the prime example of this is the movie #elysium. A paradise space station in the clouds full of greenery and high tech and loads of lowlifes on the earth, rotting on the wasteland. I was recently shocked that people clapped for a skyscraper with a roof garden with fruits that was showed on Andrew Millison channel. People called it solarpunk! A tiny bunch of locals in the comments pointed out that the workers that keep those gardens up don't enjoy their fruits. They are low pay. The relatively tiny output (1t annually) of that garden goes to a luxury restaurant there and it's reserved only for the VIP to brag it's extra fresh. We should be banging those people with the whole range of dystopian dynamics that it reproduces! What other dystopian classics do you recommend to warn people against solarpunk fail? #dystopia #cyberpunk #antiutopia #utopia #eutopia
