There is more to #SolarPunk than solar panels and bikes. What we are talking about is being part of a living world. The hegemonic culture is one of hierarchical domination.
But many of the the cultures that hegemony suppresses bring a vibrancy to life. I don't buy yeast from the store, sealed in a plastic packet, a coffin for a living thing. I feed my sourdough. I am obligated to it, in a relationship with it, as the culture is reliant on me for it's survival. It speaks to me, with smell and color. I must pay attention. I have to learn it's nature, how it grows and eats at different temperatures informed by different times of the year. Mushrooms, yeast, kiefer, plants, independent things, things I can't control, life that is intertwined with my own.
But even my #bicycle speaks to me, which is something I hadn't considered until reading this and thinking about that framing.
It is not simply that "we need a different economic system." What we are talking about is a fundamentally different interpretation and experience of the world, from the hierarchical structure of death to a web of life, where even "inanimate" things become imbued with agency.

Newspapers were once the dominate information media everywhere on earth.
Now newspapers are an antiquated artifact displaced by the digital eco-system.
"All the news that's fit to print" manufactured consent of the readers to agree to the shared reality they all read about.
Today this simple relationship has been fractured into a digital prism of truths, lies and disinformation campaigns, state propaganda and billions of first-hand accounts of events.

Trump demands Senate cancel August break until it passes voter suppression bill
Trump on Monday demanded that Senate Majority Leader John Thune cancel the chamber’s upcoming August break until senators pass a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill
-- even as Republicans lack the votes to advance it.
Trump has repeatedly urged Thune to scrap the legislative filibuster,
which effectively sets a 60-vote threshold for most legislation in the 100-member Senate,
or …
