I think, unless the big players are forced out of business (either by law or by a BIG societal shift) it has simply no chance to win over the mainstream. At least not worldwide... in the EU it might stand a bit of a chance but even that is more wishful thinking on my part.

You don't.

Over the last day, while traveling without much internet access (but with Kiwix and tons of material on my laptop) i used the time to dive a bit deeper into the question i asked myself. I think now that with things like 3D printers (perhaps even more advanced versions that we have today), distributed construction and distributed but highly connected guerilla groups a conflict could be made somewhat winable / surviveable for a solarpunk society.

I asked the question in the first place because i am currently dabbling a bit into writing and after first drafting some sort of detective story i am now more inclined to pivot to a bit of a "solarpunk society gets invaded by a conventional state" story...

Thank you for the hint to the book(s)... very interesting reads and an interesting take on the police part.

A WITCH! BURN HER!!!!!! /s

bug != feature

But those are probably dwelling in their moms basement and don't have access to critical infrastructure...

Sounds reasonable of they work for them

The solution to this problem is simple: Just don't use a public bathroom... the world is a giant, enormous shitter with endless and diverse opportunities to more or less hide behind something and let it flow.

Why let yourself be trapped and domesticated? Your Dick wants FREEDOM!
