Very cool! I’m mostly excited to see the boom of the solar energy industry. Not just for selling but also for personal use. Feel like a whole new thing is coming that somehow not tainted by another industry hidden interests
Would be nice to see this at animal sanctuaries, though I can imagine cows trying to sit on the panels 🥲
This is why I have to unsubscribe from “solarpunk” spaces. All the bleeding carnists not understanding the horror and damage of animal industry.
Bye!
They’re posting content.
Why don’t you post some stuff that shows a better way to do it so you can educate them? Leaving doesn’t help anyone learn.
Not everyone who comes to solarpunk is coming to look at glorification of slavery. A lot of people would be turned away by crass and vulgar imagery such as this. I’ll be staying, to remind people of the fact that we do not need to tolerate such horrific content.
How do you propose making any effective change to the world around you when you are so utterly divorced from it?
What world? Consensus reality? The model of the world invented by enlightenment scholars and exported across the world through the processes of colonisation and genocide? I am glad to be divorced from consensus reality. If you say that my beliefs divorce me from the world, then I praise your wisdom in understanding that the world is a belief, and I thank you for the compliment. I would be very ashamed to find myself a believer in the world.
That’s a yikes from me, dawg. Good luck in your journey to not being this type of person.
And nothing changes if you complain and whine. Like I just said in my other comment, bring some content in and illustrate ethical systems, drown out the other shit you don’t want to see.
Bold move using a misogynist slur on Solarpunk
Fixed.
Now do you want to address the point of my reply or is this how you go about your internet discourse only?
Okay, yes, I would like to address the “meat”, pun intended, of your reply.
You spent your entire reply complaining about how complaining is bad. If you don’t like complaining, stop complaining. You said to offer alternatives, fine. Show us a top level reply to this post that dismantles its carnist ideology and doesn’t complain. I’d like to see some productive behaviour out of you.
I dont understand. I can’t see complaining. I really don’t know what you are talking about.
I’ve posted a Syntropic system (no animal ag) to another community, I’ve educated on other ecological systems in use, I’ve posted organic techniques in regeneration, I’ve posted 300 environmental news stories to help educate about the climate crisis and biodiversity loss across a number of communities. I don’t know what else I can do.
You seem quite passionate. What do you have in ethical horticultural systems that I could read about?
Edit: I’ll just add this in to counter the “carnist” nature of the OP. This was posted by “Sam BOT” who is the OP of this post, to this community 2 days ago, showing a similar solar system growing crops instead: https://lemmy.world/post/2024954
Wait. Is this a thing? Solarpunk is pro animal agriculture and meat? I’m naive to the movement/philosophy/genre, but still I’d find that surprising.
As for the video, it’s about farming practices today adopting solar. Pretty hard to avoid the reality of animal agriculture in that context.
No, I don’t think solarpunk is. I think extreme reactions to things people don’t like are more the norm.
It’s content more suited to farming but it’s content. Yeah, we need discussions about what content is suitable but quitting as soon as you see something you don’t like isn’t the discussion that needs to be had.
It’s also worth pointing out that herding/grazing animals play an important role in the ecosystem and soil restoration. They can and should be incorporated in solarpunk whether or not they are consumed. Our best indicator of when humans arrived at a location is when the local megafauna died off.
It’s also kinda surprising to me that people are assuming that this would be for mean animals specifically. I didn’t watch the video but it seems to me there is not reason this couldnt be for non-animal-harming animal agriculture, things like dairy cows, sheep, llamas, goats, etc. Even horses for riding or smthn. As I understand it solarpunk is cool with that, especially of it’s living with the animals for mutual benefit.
Considering SolarPunk is high tech, it’d be lab grown artificial meat and robotic agriculture if anything.
Solarpunk isn’t carnist. And this article isn’t solarpunk.
Bye! Don’t forget to close the door on your way out.
With ya on this one. Really wish people would stop with their wierd insistence on putting solar panels in places should be eradicated. Don’t put solar panels on parking lots and cattle ranches. Get rid of parking lots and cattle ranches.
