Degrowth is clownish. And every time anyone criticizes degrowth, there’s the perfunctory “that’s not the good kind of degrowth” response. Yet any time I see anyone point to the so-called “good kind” of degrowth, it’s just like the above, except they want to take away your refrigerator and running water too.
I believe degrowth is like communism. There is some mythical version done correctly, but no one has ever seen it nor will they ever.
