There’s the future we all need
I havent seen it
Imagine having an ideology thats based on a yoghurt commercial
we envision the future through fiction, art, and in this case, animation.
would you prefer a future imagined on extrapolating our oligarchy of billionaires?
Ask yourself.
Nothing wrong with enjoying art and media that envisions a future, but when you look at the art and go “hmm i’m gonna make this my ideology, my political identity” with no (or very little) research/analysis on what we currently have, what needs changing, how this change would be achieved etc, then don’t be surprised when some people don’t take it seriously.

So because we can’t immediately fix our world, we should abandon all hopes and dreams of a better future?
If people want to envision a future for mankind that is a bit farfetched, what’s the harm? Let it inspire people to make the world a better place. Better than being a cynical prick who scoffs at any sort of positive ideology.
If that’s the conclusion you’re taking from me saying “maybe adopting your political views and ideology from a couple of drawings and a commercial is silly”, then you’re absolutely correct. After all, there’s either solarpunk or doomerism - nothing in between, no alternatives, just those two options.
My god, I doubt that even the artists who draw solarpunk take the movement seriously enough to go for such bad faith leaps of logic as you.
Maybe enjoying a depiction that vaguely resembles a future you’d like to achieve that maybe kind of aligns with your beliefs isn’t the same as inventing a belief whole cloth and making it your entire personality based on an image.
Maybe the second one pretty much never happens and you’re attacking something that isn’t even real.
Maybe you’re the dumbass
