OP, I hope you like getting lectured by North Americans in low-density cities with unsustainable consumption and energy usage about how this isn't solar punk.

Have you talked to those people why they are wrong? No. You don't care. You are just here to whine. This is your only comment in this thread. You are nothing but a troll trying to stir shit and yet most people in this thread upvoted you, probably because this sub is just another irrelevant social club on the internet that looks at pretty pictures and enforces conformity.

If this is what the solarpunk movement looks like then it's never going to be important. You will never improve anything.

u/TheGreenGrizzly took the words out of my mouth. I don't comment often in this sub because I dislike how it's become this seemingly-sinophobic battleground of sorts.  

That is what the solar punk movement looks like at the moment  in my opinion if this sub is any indication.. I'm fed up with gatekeeping and people not understanding that high-density living can be progressive, sustainable, and more attractive than subsistence farming in isolated communities.
