Hey! After seeing the main Anarchist sub on another instance be a bit of a shit show this one seems awesome and I do love me some solarpunk so this instance seems pretty cool as well.

But I gotta ask, is this instance anprim/anti-civ? I see green in the sub banner. It’s not really a worldview I vibe with since I’m very much pro-tech, pro-civ, pro-AI, pro-medicine and pro-LGBT & disability rights, so if the majority here are of that persuasion I should probably bail, don’t want to argue or start fights.

    But you seem to be trolling anyway…

    What? I spent hours explaining why I believed that Solarpunk aligns with and likely is inspired at least in part by Anarcho-transhumanism; I gave a comprehensive analysis of the similarities and differences between the two. How can you call that trolling? That’s so insulting.

    I’m gonna read the article now.

      Bro, I looked at the other conversation you linked, and two responses in, you just drop this outta nowhere:

      As a side note this is why I don’t consider people like ol’musky transhumanists; he wants weird robots and brain implants because it looks futur-y, not because he’s grappled with the pros and cons of the solutions for decades and determined that this is the best way to help people. He’s a sham who pretends to know what he’s talking about after looking at a cool photo instead of honestly engaging with the philosophy he pretends to advocate. I am reminded of him through my interactions with you.

      How do you expect people to react when you insult them for no other reason than politely disagreeing with you?

        Yeah, that last sentence was uncalled for. I was feeling frustrated and dealing with some problems at work at the time, but I still shouldn’t have said that.
