#Degrowth researchers have long argued that degrowth is inevitable, it either arrives by disaster or design. Unfortunately, it looks like it will continue to arrive by disaster: https://www.politico.eu/article/economic-toll-europe-infernal-summer-climate-change/

…Of course these diagrams are woefully simplistic and inadequate at expressing the complex interplay, including with many factors not mentioned. But none of them mean I am not *for renewables*. It’s just that the tech is a wholly inadequate lever to pull. I should make clear that the primary reason for the impossibility of ‘fit’ in the “Renewables-powered future” circles is our *on-going incontinent use of fossil fuels*. We need #degrowth or we get increasingly unforgiving #postgrowth

What if instead of a nervous system, we had a super chill system, you ask? Well as individuals we do have it. The super chill parasympathic system. Together with the super stressed sympathic system they make up the periferal nervous system, or, as I call it, the federated nervous system, or FediNS, as opposed to our central nervous system. As modern western society however we live in the super stressful capitalist system instead of the super chill degrowth system. We have one built in mechanism though if stress gets too high: the general strike. You should try it sometime. #GeneralStrike #degrowth #capitalism #chill #stress #nervous

The environmental damages caused by the consumption of the top 10% consumers are substantial, exceeding funding gaps in biodiversity and climate finance. Mitigation policy directed at this group can reduce emissions/pollution, raise revenue for sustainability transitions and improve equity simultaneously: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44458-026-00079-x We need #degrowth, a #DonutEconomy & #SystemChange to #Conviviality in a #CaringEconomy of #Partnerism within #planetboundaries, please! 🙏 #TaxTheRich #MakePollutersPay #cooltheclimate #CapitalismKills

Sven Slootweg, ("still kinky and horny anyway") @joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech · Jul 19, 2026

Replying to @joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech

There's also a kind of related point I want to make here. This idea that everything must be available and at peak performance 100% of the time comes from the same place as the idea of infinite economic growth. It disregards sustainability or the impact on the environment of chasing those goals. Folks on Fedi talk about "degrowth", and usually they are talking about materialistic production. But this is just as much a part of that - when taking back infrastructure into communal hands, we're all also going to have to rethink our expectations. What 'performance' is actually reasonable to expect from our fellow creatures? We can't do degrowth without rethinking our assumptions about how the world works, and who are doing its labour under what circumstances. And it may be less obvious, but that applies to communal infrastructure too. It is simply not sustainable to expect the same kind of uptime as from a tech company with infinite budget. You can certainly volunteer and *strive* for that sort of uptime, but that's because then you are the one doing the labour. So, more bluntly: the tech folks among us are going to have to learn to live without that technical and aesthetic perfection of 100% uptime. It was never sustainable, the only reason it looked like it for a bit were huge bags of money, and it never *will* be sustainable. You'll have to figure out how to do your thing in such a way that the occasional downtime isn't a problem. The same way folks did only 20 years ago. #degrowth #codeberg

"To become genuinely empowered, people can work in community to meet their essential needs — food, housing, healthcare, education, energy, technology and economic stability. This is not theory. It’s already happening. Across the globe, people are building systems from the ground up that meet human needs while resisting corporate and state overreach."

Thanks #TrumpLies and #BibiIsAWarCriminal ! I suppose that's one way to cause #Degrowth. smh Global Economy, Hit by #IranWar and Inflation, Faces Sharp Slowdown The I.M.F. projected world output growth would fall to 3 percent for the year, a number pushed down by high commodity prices. By Alan Rappeport, July 8, 2026 "The global economy is set to slow sharply in 2026 after the war with Iran disrupted energy supply chains and triggered a fresh bout of inflation, the International Monetary Fund warned on Wednesday. "The forecasts reflect the damaging toll from the decision by the United States and Israel to attack Iran this year. Those attacks spurred Iranian retaliation on energy infrastructure in the region, destabilizing a world economy that had already been rocked by the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine."

"Evolution’s great lesson is not “survival of the fittest,” but “survival of the most cooperative.” For 500 years, we have been led to believe that capitalism is the only kind of economy that works. But it is not working. Its leaders are destroying nature, causing climate chaos...all in the name of selfish capital gain. If that is “working”, we need something better."
