@foundseed@spore.social I wrote about it in my own essay: the rage expressed in militancy is too easy to control by whichever big system people rage against. They became safe, predictable rebels. I want to tell stories of re-forging this white-hot rage into determination to build an alternative. Instead of throwing molotovs, imagine creating systems which help people even if the state or infrastructure fails.

@foundseed@spore.social @alxd@writing.exchange Rage is aimed at what you want to leave behind. Rage has nothing to contribute to an utopia. So I don't think there a place for rage in the solarpunk vision. There is probably a place for it in the solarpunk movement. But personally, I think solarpunk is more a movement of imagining and building, than of raging. Heck, like most folks nowadays, I'm not short on rage. But people are losing the vision of a society that doesn't hurt. Of a sustainable, just, good life.
