       i think what's so personally seductive to me about degrowth n' ecosocialism (beyond, like,,, mitigating ecocide, reparations to the global south, saving earth from being boiled etc etc) is that it represents Takin' a Freakin' Break on the largest possible scale.as someone born and raised in the neolib anxietyscape of maximized GPA efficiency, hypercompetition, self-production/performance/commodification, the promise of massive personal debt and 100yrs of unpaid internships

       boosting productivity and shrinking quality of life, constantly feeling like everything is way Too Much and moving way Too Fast, degrowth is this ~~big, softe, gentle, exhale~~ and it's gonna be so fkn nice.seize the means of energy production, build economies of care, build a world where we can focus on the arts our communities and ourselves, open every border, we can totally survive this

       @selontheweb i've pretty much come to the idea a couple years back that we need to design society and its energy needs with a focus on what's actually necessary (food, refrigeration, heat, shelter, infrastructure, healthcare, transit, disco), and with those prioritized our energy needs are actually pretty manageable it beats the whole anprim thing because it does not require billions dead,  just some millions to stop being such messes
