What it should be called? Or what it's called if there is such thing? I mean a dystopia showing a failed attempt at #solarpunk. A revolution that was good in general but went terribly wrong because the well-meaning people failed to recognize the true source of the problem, or just a revolution that allowed some corruption to persist and then the corruption overtook? And the honest people were cheering for it because it looked like what they wanted on the surface. #Omelanoma (Omelas melanoma)? #Greanwash? #Greenfash? Or just #dystopia?

@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.

@licho@kolektiva.social Definitely a subtype of dystopia.

@licho@kolektiva.social If you haven't read it: Nick Fuller Googins "The Great Transition" is basically this. I don't know if there is a name for that specific situation.
