  • Looks like symptom of Elacca drug:

    The Elacca drug is a narcotic that was formed by the burning of Elacca Wood of the planet Ecaz. Its main characteristic when administered was that it would eliminate the user’s will for self-preservation. As a result, it was popular during the days of the Imperium, when it would be administered to gladiators to prepare them for the ring.

    Typically, those who had been drugged with this substance would display a carrot-coloured pigmentation to their skin.

    Also, we’re going WW3

    it would eliminate the user’s will for self-preservation









  • but I always thought the idea was that it isn’t being actively maintained

    That would be logical, but unfortunately it is not so. On the art of cities/towns you have greenery absolutely everywhere, roads, roofs, houses, walls, tons of flower pots and other bigger and smaller containers. It again shows how idealist vision this is and how they know shit about greenery in city spaces, all this would very quickly just wither and die without constant care and the amount of plants needing that care means the labour would been simply crazy, especially that on the art if anyone is even doing that is always by hand. Even moderate amount of city greenery we have in some cities today need quite a lot of care. Alternatively they could make it less maintained by planting some crazy invasive species which would overgrown everything and look like Angkor Wat before rediscovery but that’s not possible under most climates and not only monoculture weed is not close to the idea, but again, the erosion of cityspace would be huge.
    Also there is a thing that solarpunk is nearly always vision of at least harshly understood degrowth if not outright primitivism and you have the full vision closer to postapo disaster than to any socialism.






  • I wouldn’t say it’s hitlerite adjacent, but it’s full idealism - impossible under capitalism and unnecessary under socialism. Also most of solarpunk art is really bad if you look at it second time - shitty infrastructure, rotting plant matter everywhere, erosion of cityspaces, insane amounts of labour to maintain it, and this is even before we talk about AI artefacts in said pics.



  • Another good reply. Worth mentioning though because it comes after a while load of not trans people using trans people as a reason you have to ride or die with with Biden.

    It’s amazing how the “progressives” are in complete lockstep with dem party and abandon any semblance of all their humanitarian positions and progressivism in real time. All that while not even changing any arguments and never coming down from their sky-high horse.
