Not pictured is an over-exploited global south that makes the image possible.

And the underlying imperialist fascism

The exploitation is not pictured, because libs also want to end that.

Capitalism with a green façade?

Can you please point out to me where you see the capitalism in this?

Yep, that'd be solarpunk. Liberals love solarpunk because it allows them to imagine a transition to a just future via technology and aesthetics alone. It's all vibes, and it allows them to ignore class analysis.

The oil barrons of the world aren't going to give up their power without some amount of violence.

I don't think that's a good interpretation of solarpunk. Perhaps of some parts of it, but I think in general it's far more socialist/anarchic than what you're saying.

Bro, you has no idea what solarpunk is.

RiverRock@lemmy.ml · -1 pts · 54d

Its a visual vibe with some wishful thinking tied on and nothing deeper

I wish liberals wanted this...

Best I can do is infinite money to Israel, genocide denialism, and corporate cocksucking

Well they do, some of them do at least

LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 52d

Some do I'll concede. But this is not what the average liberal wants. They want way more parking lots.

Since there are many things depicted here, I'm gonna assume the one thing all liberals want is a large sign with music notes on it.

Leftists*

Liberals are NIMBYs or just plain old conservatives in disguise. Just look at how many "democrats" just voted for war with Lebanon and how many want to surveil you with the KIDS act. Even more, they released their Project 2029 and it's the Project 2025 narrowing of section 230 and de-anonymizing the internet.

Liberals are just more PR friendly conservatives.

Yeah, "the left" would have been more accurate

No one really knows what liberals want. They leave that intentionally vague and let you ascribe your wants to be theirs. So evidently OP wants upper end open-air shopping malls.

I think you'll find OP, that liberal leadership only pretend to want those. What they actually want is bribe checks from donors. So as long as the developer is building and actively bribing, liberals will support this. When its no longer convenient for them, they will support the next developer that wants to turn it into..whatever. And they dont give two shits what you or I think about that. They actively resent the fact that they need your vote to stay in power and get the most bribes, and they think we're idiots to be controlled.

Memes are usually relatable. That thing is... a city or something?

Can we go maybe 1982 when we could buy a house on a single salary cars were affordable and gas was under a dollar.

/s

Or we aim for 2084 where we've overthrown the ruling class and ended capitalism, so we don't have to worry about affording basic life necessities.
