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.

I think I didn't properly express my point. We're currently in the solarpunk dystopian future. We don't need to invent any dystopian aspect for punks because we are those punks.

Your fictional argument doesn't click with the posted meme for me.

To me it sounded like you were saying there is no dystopia, and with solarpunk there woll be no punks, and in my current experience both are patently untrue.

If I misrepresented your argument I apologize.
