Hopepunk, Optimism, Purity, and Futures of Hard Work by Ada Palmer - "Fiction does not give us many stories of continuing to slog on after an unsatisfying partial victory. That makes hopepunk powerful."
Very good analysis, especially about purity and inaction. The thought palace is such a neat place, as soon as you get out there it gets messy. I so much enjoy the much needed change in narratives. They make something really powerful happen in real life, the first seedlings of change rising from the tiredness, with better focus on what matters.
Thank you for sharing this. I admit, the nature of hopepunk was something I found recently through solarpunk and it kept going in my heart as an ideal to push for, especially in the work and life environment I am in.
