Though I don't think solarpunk is based on modern progressive optimism. A lot of the progenitors of it come out of a critique of progress and drunk optimism. The dick in the ass reality as sketched out by Phil as well as others adjacent to him like Huxley came out of reflections on things like fascism and corporatism and where these things were going.

It's as if these cybernetic progressive ideas have gone away. The current Covid crap that you're seeing right now is prepping the world for the eyescan stuff that you saw in Minority Report. You need to lube people up first before you put that Dick in the ass. Radicals have yet to break the corporatist capitalist statist world that we live in and things are not looking good as of right now. Solapunk could well be a good start providing that(as the video I linked mentions) there's actually people there and it's not just some concept art larp.
