keep on perseverating I guess
Turns out the content matters more than how it's produced. :)
One of the most hilarious things of late has been libs, who see themselves as a paragon of rationality, expose that they're just a different flavor of qAnon.
That's right history starts on February 2022, nothing happened before then. 🤡
Pretty sure a large chunk of Americans think that Russia is still communist.
lol fixed
science reporting continues to be garbage
The question here is what makes art, is it the effort that goes into the process of producing it or the vision the artist has that matters. I'd argue that what matters is in the eye of the beholder. If you look at an image and it evokes an emotion or a feeling within you, then it's meaningful to you. How the image was produced hardly matter in my opinion.
I agree that it can act as a complimentary vision to socialist realism, and the critique is of what's missing rather than anything being inherently wrong with it.
Exactly, the recognition of the central role of labour in society has to be part of any genuinely socialist aesthetic. Solar-punk sells a vision of a comfortable society while ignoring the labour that underpins it, how things are created is left entirely up to your imagination. Thus, solar-punk aesthetic becomes equally compatible with people enjoying the fruits of their own labour or a society built on slavery.
Solar-punk feels like of like an inversion of socialist realism to me. Socialist realism celebrates the worker as creator with muscles straining, tools in hand, actively building the world. Labor is heroic, collective, and visibly transformative. The aesthetic screams: WE made this. On the other hand, solar-punk envisions society after the work is done with comfortable citizens enjoying green tech built by unseen hands. The aesthetic whispers: Look what grew while no one was laboring.

You're an ignoramus and you should be ashamed of yourself. End of fucking discussion.
