    Gatekeeping is not very punk

    “If you want to write punk stories in a solarpunk setting, then you need to construct a dystopian antagonist.”

    Here’s a great list of dystopian antagonists for you.

    Peter George Peterson

    Carl Icahn

    Sheldon Adelson

    Mark Zuckerberg

    Silvio Berlusconi

    Gina Rinehart

    Alice Walton

    Rupert Murdoch

      Well, yes, obviously we are not in a utopia (yet) and you have plenty of obstacles in the way. But if you depict a solarpunk utopia, it typically has no “punks” in it unless you invent a dystopian aspect as well.
