    Degrowth can’t “work” , it can prolong the shit show though and theres something to be said for that, ask any Cancer patient.

    Zero chance of occuring though, so while discussion on the nuance are intellectually interesting they hold no promise aside from hope for some of a better world…

    Most people dont even grok it means a better life for more, they wrongly assume they’re not in the more I guess ?

    Perhaps after cicikisations collpase ? but I’d expect that we’ll leave a childishly irradiated world.

    Author can’t even capitalize their own name. The first paragraph sounds like it was written by a 13 year old. I tried to keep reading but I couldn’t.

    No, you’re not supposed to like degrowth. Medicine doesn’t usually taste good.

      The guy is young and not a native speaker. It would be sure nice to taste some medicine, however bitter. Instead, we are getting unmanaged collapse at any scale but personal and small community level.

    This is semantic drivel. Degrowth has very concrete meaning in marxist terms. It is a shorthand for undoing the decades of horrific damage done to the environment for extractive profiteering.
