Obama's "beach house"
“Degrowth” would would work best by depopulating (murdering) 36,000,000 over-consuming innocent citizens. We can call it “The Great Leap Forward!”
Degrowth, allowing the dictators of the world what they need to conquer the world
either reads like peoples cube or pol pot, not sure
Wake me up when China signs on and leads the way by example … LOL.
Insanity on parade.
I suspect these scientists wouldn’t tolerate any degrowth for their grant funding.
distributing income and resources more fairly.
Basically communism in a green skirt.
Capitalism is the only system that is fair since the individual that takes the risk is the one getting the reward.
In socialism no one will take the risk and so there are no rewards to share.
Yes. Yes, it is.
I note that the article is written by an anthropologist, and that no scientists are quoted or referenced anywhere. Furthermore, the article is nothing but a long list of socialist pipe dreams, of the type that promise utopia but deliver death and misery to the masses while the elites live in utter luxury.
I've never taken an anthropology class and do not know the field, but it looks to me like this anthropologist did not pay attention during the classes on how human societies grow and distribute resources in the most fair way to their members. And he does not know the concept of a normal distribution, which is a fundamental dynamic of any system.
Luddites, plus the dream of the Save the Planet Crowd - eliminate 90% of the plague of humanity and save Mother Earth.
They should start their experiment with de-growth by banning toilet paper to see how they really like it, before resorting to the usual Leftist mass murder tactics.
My first visit to Red China was in 1980...my most recent was in 2016. On both occasions I visited a major city called Guangzhou which is a couple of hours north of Hong Kong.On my first visit the city looked just like you'd imagine any Soviet city to look...drab,primitive and straight out of the 1700s. Back then morning rush hour consisted of a few Soviet style limos (for the powerful,no doubt),a number of primitive looking buses and about 900,000 bicycles. On my most recent visit I saw glass and steel skyscrapers and about 900,000 Kias,Hondas and Buicks.
Given that China is BY FAR the worst polluter in the world...responsible for AT LEAST half of the cr@p that's in the air (and water)...we should just reduce China to its 1980 state...or maybe even 1930.
World pollution...SOLVED!
So we have to surrender our rights in order to save the planet.
- those rights will NEVER come back.
Do people really believe this hypoebolic feverswamp crap? Being talked out of their future? When I was young, there was the story of Chicken Little.
Why is there not wide spread suspicion of the Global Warmist agenda? Follow the money, and the Marxism.
Degrowth is just central planning. Communisim. Same old same old.
When will a few states get together and decide the “Union” is not worth it?
Obama's "beach house"
Not many of the commenters are buying this eco-marxism.
>>> Degrowth is a planned reduction of total energy and material use to bring the economy in line with planetary boundaries, while improving people’s lives by distributing income and resources more fairly. <<<
In other words, Marxism.
“...while improving people’s lives by distributing income and resources more fairly.”
Free stuff for everyone...paid for from taxes on the rich.
The only people for this ridiculous “degrowth” idea are those with secure government funded jobs.
