hi, thanks for your writing here. i just read a provocative essay posted 7/22, https://medium.com/@hanzifreinacht/we-must-reclaim-solarpunk-from-authoritarian-regimes-73d4d4f6833d which references Dubal's architectural aesthetics as built in an authoritarian context. i appreciate the post's comments too, including "solarauthoritarianism.... [vs] punk (anarchist and emancipatory).... [re:] spotting authoritarian aesthetics in solarpunk...it is centralized, monumental, representative of inherent power structures and megalomanic."

how do you think we can grow fondness for punk, degrowth scenarios requiring reliance on peer community members sharing precious resources, beyond the temptations of life conveniences provided by authoritarian allegiance?
