Projected last night at the Free Palestine Encampment at Cal, Berkeley. Colonial capitalism drives the war machine that bulldozes people from Gaza, to the Congo, to the Philippines. It’s important for solarpunks to show up in solidarity with native peoples against imperialism. Sustainability depends on the knowledge and stewardship of native populations. And, most importantly, Zionist punks fuck off! -

You do understand that the punk in those is referring to the counter-culture against the status quo, yes? Both steampunk and cyberpunk are anti-capitalist stories set in extreme capitalist society. One with an 1800's steam-powered aesthetic, the other with a 1980's tech aesthetic.
