A big theme in my #solarpunk novel series is that there will be a time when you're the right person in the right place and then you gotta step up and do your part. Then pass the torch.

Hold onto your values. Do what's right.

@susankayequinn @falcennial This would be better with the word society replaced by power. Society isn't the enemy but something coopted by power.

@dalias I understand your point, although I'm not sure I entirely disagree. "Society" isn't dictated solely by those in power, but filters down to the individual power plays within a family. "Power" can be understood not just as an elected official or boss but a parent or partner.

The enforcers are almost always your friends and family.

Can we build a better society? Yes. But we are also social animals and conformity has deep psychological/social roots.
