@licho@kolektiva.social To be honest, I am so tired with all the dystopias in literature, movies and especially in real life that I would enjoy a parody of a dystopia where all the baddies unintentionally create a real utopia. Or is it how the neoliberals think the free market works? Then there is no hope.

@martaczc@mastodon.com.pl yeah, me too. I'm tired with it and there's been a tone of them written already. I mainly wonder if we can just take the relevant ones from the extensive body of material and put a label on them. Not to read, but to have stuff to point to when people are doing stupid shit and calling it solarpunk. I'm currently writing an actual utopia. Obviously #zuzai, it's a slow process. It's been a year and a half already and I'm like 1/3 deep in the first draft. There's still a lot ahead of me. Ofc writing is not my full time job so I'm struggling with making the time to actually write. I like your parody dystopia/utopia. When structured as a comedy, spiced with a lot of humor, it might be so refreshing! It reminds me of the old polish adage "żeby tak chcieli źle, i też im nie wyszło" "May they wish ill and also failed at that"
