"...what we see is that is by far the worst enemy. So yes, these things will have effects, but we should put them in that context of change."

Climate Justice SocialBread and Circuses (@breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social)Is this approach simply too radical to be considered? _______________________ "Reducing Consumption: The Unpopular Answer To Global Crises" Most of the proposed solutions to civilizational collapse assume stable geopolitical environments and access to large amounts of capital and resources. However, they fail to address the heart of the matter, which is ever-rising consumption. Dramatically reducing consumption is not included in these plans, except by a few advocating for degrowth. Degrowth, or negative growth, means less consumption of stuff and energy over time. Achieving a steady-state economy with lower consumption levels is essential. Either we plan for it and execute a plan that takes us down to a fraction of what we consume today, or nature will force us into a steady-state level of consumption, possibly even lower than planned. Reducing consumption is the unpopular but necessary answer to global crises. It requires rethinking our current way of life and acting in ways that prioritize sustainability and long-term stability. _______________________ The question I posed above was obviously rhetorical. But you and I know the answer. Reducing consumption is not just too radical for consideration in our capitalist culture, it's totally unthinkable. Because lowered consumption would mean less economic growth or no growth at all, and we can't have that!!!

The bad faith argument of a net-good mitigation solution not meeting some arbitrary standard of "perfect", thus being less than useful or harmful, is a self-serving and intellectually limited viewpoint.
