> There's a lot of "let's go Branden" type curmudgeonliness

:( That's unfortunate. I find the leftist stuff a bit repetitive, but certainly more aware than that sort of curmudgeonliness. I guess it's a natural consequence of the growing population of Gemini huh.

> criticizing "ecological" is like saying "and the posters on there are subject to gravity! They fall downwards, and they have the gall to live their lives going forwards in time!" We all live on the same Earth and wrecking it affects all of us

Oh I'm not criticizing the ideology at all. Ecology drives a lot of my personal politics as well. And specifically by "ecological" I mean "ecological punk" (messed up with the comma in my original post) here which I'm referring to as a low-tech/minimalist approach to ecological sustainability. I just find it overrepresented and a bit repetitive on Gemini. I can find myself nodding and agreeing, but few of the posts challenge me to think and grow the way talking with individuals with very different ideas of ecology (say more maximalist approaches) would. At the end of the day, for me, living ecologically sustainably is the goal, not _how_ we get there.

Thanks for your patience with how I misread your comment. I appreciate that a lot, and I agree fully with what you're saying re the limits of solar punk and minimalism compared to more complex system solutions.
