It is certainly a disappointment to me. When I discovered Solarpunk, I thought it would be a movement of people who actually want to change things for the better, not just fantasize about a theoretical better world, while watching the real world being destroyed by the billionaires.
For some people it is. But I think you are making a category error in thinking that a concept that is primarily ment to open the imagination and move the overton window would lend itself as an activist movement. It is supplementary to one though: https://wiki.slrpnk.net/articles:infrapolitics
You have a valid argument, maybe I am just too depressed and burned out to still see the positive.
