Degrowth: You Might Actually Like It
Beyond the benefit of helping avoid a mass extinction event, we may even find that we enjoy the simpler life that degrowth can give us.

I agree with this line of thinking presented by @erinremblance.bsky.social here - however I get the arguments that might sound "scary" too.

Degrowth: No, Let’s Not Call It Something Else
We don’t need to change the name ‘degrowth’. What we need is for more of us in wealthy nations to intuitively associate the term ‘economic growth’ with ‘collapse’.

You don't understand! The ALP government has to support Israeli genocide, US war crimes, the destruction of the rule of law, and the north west gas shelf, because it only has a 51 seat lead on the Coalition. Something something Murdoch. They're really progressive, I swear.

Kinda wild that so many Very Serious People take the need to build data centers for AI as a given when the main use case for AI so far seems to be degrading people’s ability to read, write, think critically and connect to other human beings

Some are triggered by #degrowth – not understanding it's a rare path still available to us to often IMPROVE people's well-being & secure planetary health & stability. They think it means pain, like recession, rather than thoughtful restructuring.

1. As we face a series of great crises, every parent is confronted with the question of how much we tell our children. We don’t want to lie to them, but nor do we want to terrify them. Of course, there is no single answer. It depends in part on the child. But this thread suggests one approach. 🧵
