I'm ready for Great War: The Remake. Put me in an A7V and send me to my death; I am ready!
HEADS UP!
BANDITS COMING IN ON THE PANDORA!
I MAKE FOUR PEACEMAKERS, BRITISH MARKINGS
Rifftrax version, sure, but not on its own.
I unironically love it. The fact that it has a big tribute to the Fleischer Superman cartoon The Mechanical Monsters helps. I had it on VHS when I was a kid.
Also, come on, zeppelin battle!
I'll watch The Rocketeer for my zeppelin fix. Plus Jennifer Connelly.
I love both. And both are dieselpunk.
What's cypherpunk?
Free and open access to encryption and therefore privacy, usually by developing FOSS encryption.
The manifesto is a good and quick read. Steven Levy’s Crypto covers the movement a bit too. It’s a bit strange to use it in this context because there’s not much more to it than PoC or GTFO, communication is key, encryption for everyone. You can’t really replace a more complete paradigm like cyberpunk with cypherpunk. I’d even go so far as to say you can’t combine solar and cypherpunk because cypherpunk is a direct response to the misuse of tech and government whereas solarpunk is about great government tech without the negativity.
Is solarpunk really punk though? Its like saying Utopias are punk.
It is. The difference is cyberpunk is "this is what will happen if we don't fight back against the system" and Solarpunk is "this is what we could have if we DO fight back against the system".
Solarpunk is often displayed as pretty post apocalyptic, but in a green, scrapper, free way
Solarpunk seems positioned pretty firmly against the established corporate world. If being anti-establishment isn't punk, I'm not sure what is.
In this scenario, solar energy is the establishment though.
That's not what establishment means
It is inherently NOT punk.
How so?
You know how the stuff -gate means scandal? -punk means fictional genre, or aesthetic.
Maybe now but that is not what it meant in the 80s when cyberpunk and cypherpunk were coined. I am sure the punks are quite pissed off that their movement has been reduced to an aesthetic.
None of the above.
Solarpunk is best punk ngl
BIBLEPUNK LET'S GOOOOOOOO
His Dark Materials series then
Any solar punk recommendations other than "Monk and Robot"?
