I don't get how LGBTQ colours should be used as the flag of the movement. While solarpunk ideas are inclusive by their very nature, I don't think two ideas being compatiable means they are the same idea....
Yeah...this flag really obscures the concept. It goes to show you that it's not an "official" movement (at least not yet) but an idea.
Absolutely agree. What a terrible flag
I don't think there is anything terrible about it. It might make a lot more sense if we know the context of the presentation.
It's a rainbow flag. This flag has a way bigger history than just LGBTQ+.
Cool, I didn't know about some of these, like the connection to the coop movement. However, like all symbols, it has its history and its current use. Since it has been connexted to the queer movement since 1970s I think is fair to expect the vast majority of people to connect it to this movement (and is also fair to the movement as well)
The talk itself was disappointing though. I get that the theme was optimistic story telling, but why invite a speaker that has little to say about Solarpunk other than some plattitudes? At least they could have mentioned some examples or put up some links on the slides or so.
Really a wasted opportunity 😑
I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but their use of comic sans is fitting for the flag. It all looks very amateurish.
Does everything need a flag?
Does everything need to be on the pride flag is the real question
