    I think the effort is genuine. Like props to them for the “supporter” ticket, and I think the example talk is really good.

    I do feel a lot of what you’re saying though. In terms of practical vs principled, this one heavily falls on the practical side.

      I’m all for the practical side when the aiming result is also practical, like a training for organizing people or guerrilla gardening or how to influence urbanism and so on

      But if the content is basically what “our climate change” and “not just bikes” offer on YouTube + a sprinkle of solarpunk I feel like it’s neither practical nor principled :)

        Yeah… I suppose it is more like a fundraiser for video essay than an IRL conference. And once looking at it like a fundraiser, it is a weird way to go about fundrasing.
