Projection at Cal Berkeley
(slrpnk.net)
Projected last night at the Free Palestine Encampment at Cal, Berkeley. Colonial capitalism drives the war machine that bulldozes people from Gaza, to the Congo, to the Philippines. It’s important for solarpunks to show up in solidarity with native peoples against imperialism. Sustainability depends on the knowledge and stewardship of native populations. And, most importantly, Zionist punks fuck off! -
Historically cyberpunk has been explicitly about resisting the dehumanization of hyper capitalism and learning to rebuild human connection during mass social traumas. Steampunk has a lot of roots in the conflict between unchecked industrialization and people fighting for unionization. Neither is just an aesthetic, both are critiques of abusive power through different lenses.
