@philfree.bsky.social“The Tai Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu 2,575 years ago, warned: ‘When man interferes with the Dao… the equilibrium crumbles’. This isn’t just philosophy; it’s a perfect description of the Second Law of Thermodynamics applied to Political Economy.” #degrowth

@stfn.fedi.stfn.pl.ap.brid.gyThe book is kinda degrowthy, kinda solarpunky, but not talking about those ideas explicitly, it's much more like "we know bad times are coming, but what can we gain from them and how can we steer our surroundings and communities to survive these storms better?"
@philfree.bsky.social“We must see that it’s foolish, sinful & suicidal to destroy the health of nature for the sake of an economy that is not really an economy at all but merely a financial system, one that is unnatural, undemocratic, sacrilegious & ephemeral.” #degrowth

@philfree.bsky.social“This means there is no silver-bullet technology that can make an increase in the material standard of living immaterial—economy is fundamentally embedded within ecology.”

@heepst.bsky.socialEuropean demographics being what they are, the far-right's low or no immigration policies translate into radical #degrowth.
They should spell out how that works like the left and greens have already done with their socially more equitable versions.
@cyborgludd.bsky.socialI'm mostly pretty blase about these and sometimes amused by them. But conflating #degrowth with Stephen Miller is genuinely gross.
Degrowth is a shift from economic growth to human welfare as the goal of human societies. Miller is, obviously, anti-human-welfare.
@philfree.bsky.social“The ‘Growth society’ creates [multiple crises].
Fundamentally, it is the expression of one & the same madness: a world that has become inhuman, as if the belief in ‘always more’ was enough to give it meaning.” #PostGrowth #Degrowth #Sufficiency

@philfree.bsky.social“In calm times, fraying is modest compared to the weaving & Wealth booms. In a century of environmental stress & resource depletion, this no longer becomes a guarantee.
Put simply, the economic engine becomes harder to run.” #PostGrowth #Degrowth #Sufficiency
