It didn't cross my mind to be honnest. Their about page didn't give that impression. Also, I looked up a bit Spencer Scott and I found some decent articles. For example: Solarpunk: Refuturing our Imagination for an Ecological Transformation.
Personnaly, I wanted to find specifics about their decission-making process. I didn't manage to really. I suppose if they had a model of horizontal organizing, they would be talking about it? In the same time it looked like a decent enough project, so it seemed like worth posting.
On second thought, does this project seem to you like it could be a cult?
I don't know tbh, I just saw "It's a vibe, not a cult" and made a flippant remark because of my own personal experience of an "anarchist" cult.
Anything on their website is something they want people to see, so it would be very difficult to tell based on that.
I think we should generally give the benefit of the doubt and trust first but rescind that trust immediately and absolutely if proven otherwise. So I think you've done right by posting, I'm just old and jaded. Ignore me :)
I think it's very important to share these kind of thoughts, to protect ourselves and others. So thank you for your remark!
