@alxd@writing.exchange oh africafuturism yes! (Autocorrect got you upthread)
Yes, what I'm trying to reach for here is your polish "africafuturism", and what you are saying is you're having to simply make your own "afrofuturism". Is that what you're getting at?

@foundseed@spore.social what I'm getting at is that I feel that you're trying to Afrofuturist Slavs, or even better: Wakandize us :P It's projecting the US national exceptionalism and specificity (even with good things, like the respect for indigenous people) onto a setting where it just doesn't fit. "A green imperialism" as an Egyptian friend called it seeing the process in action. Similar to the discussion on solar farms nearby: each region needs its own solutions and a space to develop them.
