    I’m tired of people pretending they are smart and problem solving by by mass murdering most humans on the planet and stopping procreation.

    You don’t solve a jigsaw puzzle by putting 10 pieces together and burning the rest so you dont have to deal with them.

      Absoluetely no one is promoting this. I hear this bullshit argument every time degrowth comes up, but this has NOTHING to do with degrowth and is a bad faith argument full of too many fallacies to mention.

        Then you should doublecheck who you have arguing on your side and who you stand with. You can pump your chest you do not personally stand for this but the practice attracts those that are more physically minded than you.

        Degrowth sides with eugenics, racists, and psychopaths. Just cause you think it would save the world to make less lives does not leave it without those that will find horrible ways to make it reality as there is not other practical way to make it happen.

          Nope. That just a deliberate mischaracterization driven by those who have a stake in growth and consumption.

          You could be called a nazi for no reason too, it doesn’t discredit the ideas, its just meaningless noise. “Discredit by association” is what you are doing and it’s a popular trick by disinformation agents. Are you the agent or the useful idiot who fell for it?

          Degrowth is very clearly and unequivocally a moral and ethical plan to right size humanity to where its ecological footprint can be carried sustainably by the earth. No technological miracle hail marys required. No deaths, no racism, no deprivation or suffering or state sponsored goonsquad progroms. Just shrink until you fits where you sits.

            Yeah thats what I thought.
            So excited by who “degrowth” hurts that you dont care about reality.
            And trump supporters aren’t racist or fascist they just want cheap oil.

            Good luck getting everyone to shrink without the reality of how that would be enforced. Enjoy your dreams that absolve you of reality because they make you feel better. I won’t sit at this table any longer.

              I don’t know who taught you critical thinking or degrowth, but they failed. This is hard bigot nonsense.

                You dont know what bigot means, just like you dont consider what you want will require. I disagree with you and what you think is right.

                    Ok, I’m not gonna ask how you force a world to stop having children and rapidly reduce the population.
                    Its not an ice cream flavor and you are appeasing your ideology with something harmless to make it sound better than it is.

                    I actually do consider critically what kind of people would rise to a society that pushes this on others. I disagree with it and I’m gonna stop responding cause you are just fighting out an argument to defend your honor and your perceived morality rather than think critically yourself.
