    It is an actual train station that is currently being renovated in China. Which is kind of my point, we have the kind of stuff being derided as idealistic actually being made in China, with the kind of images promoting it that are being derided for being fascist. Is the topic at hand here that some people who promote solarpunk that are fascists and that we then work backwards from that to see the same in the art, or is it that solarpunk is inherently fascist aesthetically speaking (which I assumed the post was about)?

    What is the substantial difference between this render and a solarpunk render of a forest city? (Or the renders of forest cities being built or sponsored by China)

      That makes sense, I stand corrected. I still think it’s silly to not have the cylinders any higher, and to have them looking like they’re haphazardly laying on top of the terrain, instead of anchored inside it.
