    genocide and privation

    It’s opposite of degrowth. It is capitalism with its wide beastly grin.

    The preservation of agrarian lifestyles and “harmony with the planet”

    I like how you mix it togerher under pro-nuclear thread about combating climate change. Also it says you didn’t research what degrowth is and possibly doesn’t have even common sense.

    is not more important than the betterment of the species, no matter how much people cry about it

    And it is you who calls someone fascist?

      Okay let’s break it down.

      De- means the opposite of. Growth is when things get bigger. De-growth means shrinking human resource usage.

      How can we shrink human resource usage? Two ways:

      1. Shrink the human population. ie genocide.
      2. Shrink the resource usage per person. ie privation.

      Address the question. How is “degrowth” not a dog whistle for either killing hundreds of millions of people, or forcing hundreds of millions of people to live in poverty?
