So I’m very curious about this and I have been for a while, for those deeply invested in Solarpunk, what are/did/will you major in? Alternatively, if you didn’t go to college (fucking valid this shit is way too expensive), what field do you work in?

I’m planning on majoring in some type of Community/Regional/Urban planning or design with a focus on social justice and the environment.

People living without food, water, shelter, and healthcare are a failure of the human race.

WE failed them. WE’RE the reason they’re there in the first place.

And I don’t want to hear any bullshit about them not working hard enough.

YOU don’t know their story. YOU don’t live their life. YOU don’t know what they’re capable of achieving given proper resources.

You have absolutely zero right to push them out of cities, out of your view, out of your mind. No right to pass laws to criminalize homelessness.

We can provide basic necessities to everyone on this planet. We’re more than capable.

I shouldn’t have to tell you to imagine it’s your parent, child, cousin, or significant other to get you to feel some sort of empathy for these people.

I shouldn’t have to tell you that they are someone’s child for you to feel empathy for them.

You just should. It’s not rocket science. It’s not some mysterious formula.

Isolation has made you immune to human emotion and it’s sick.

Please donate to your local homeless shelters and vote for candidates with solid plans to help the homeless in your town/city/state.

Due to the length of time it’s been since my last intro, I think it’s time for a new one.

Hi! My name is Abigail. I’m 17 y/o and I’m going into my senior year of high school in the fall.

1.5-2 years ago this was my Solarpunk blog and it STILL IS. Nothing about this blog is changing. Except I’m a little less afraid to be mean on the internet lmao.

Some things I plan on centering on the account moving forward:

1. Solarpunk stuff, duh, it’s in the name

2. Current events, mainly in the US bc it’s where I’m from, but also global events too

3. Socialism and Democratic-Socialism stuff, I feel like I don’t need to explain this one

4. Veganism, Plant-Based things, all with a focus on impact rather than like meals and stuff

5. Hopecore type stuff, please be happy there’s so much that already sucks

6. Probably more that doesn’t fit into a clean category

Now for the fun part, a section I’d like to call ‘fuck you’ aka general people I hate and everyone not welcome on my page <3

Fuck ICE, Trump, Billionaires, Homophobes, Racists, MAGA, Ableists, Xenophobes, and anyone Pro-Israel

…and probably a whole lot more tbh.

The transformation of Sea Shepherd Global from a fearless, radical vigilante force into a toothless, state-aligned institution is a tragic, textbook case of how bureaucratic rot devours genuine dissent.

By purging Captain Paul Watson and his uncompromising, direct-action philosophy, the leadership effectively lobotomized the movement, trading its soul for the "legitimacy" of government partnerships and corporate-sanctioned environmentalism.

It is the ultimate human irony: an organization once feared by governments for its autonomy now functions as an unpaid, flag-flying enforcement wing for the very regimes it was built to oppose.

The inclusion of the Israeli security firm Yamasec into the organization's operational structure is a particularly foul development, illustrating how quickly "radical" movements can be repurposed for military-industrial interests.

By allowing private, military-trained contractors to manage boardings and interact with naval officers, the new leadership stripped away the civilian, non-violent identity that defined Sea Shepherd for decades, turning their ships into nothing more than platforms for securitized state surveillance.

This pivot to "partnerships"-whether with Israel, Namibia, or other state actors-is the final nail in the coffin of their anti-radical agenda, ensuring that any hope for independent, high-seas defiance is replaced by tedious, grey-painted paperwork. It is truly exhausting to watch yet another institution succumb to the pressure of normalization, proving once again that humanity's default setting is to institutionalize, sanitize, and eventually suffocate any spark of real rebellion.

While the original spirit of the movement persists in the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, the mainstream "Sea Shepherd Global" carcass remains as a grim reminder that in a world governed by bureaucracy, even the most noble mission can be coerced into serving the status quo.
