8.10 Solarpunk Presents: Idealism versus Pragmatism

In this episode we welcome back none other than Christina De La Rocha, former cohost of Solarpunk Presents, in order to discuss the benefits of Idealism versus Pragmatism. To us, idealism is aiming for the highest goals and accepting nothing less, while pragmatism includes compromise and just accepting the job as done even if it's only 75% of the goal. Which one should we go for as Solarpunks? And is it a binary or, like so often happens, is the binary false?Solarpunk Presents Patreon: https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresentsWebsite: https://fastfrwrd.info Guardian Article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/18/woke-progressives-rightwing-backlash-equality Hosted on Acast.
