Almost like the left, regardless of their actual positions, are demonized and blamed for the failings of the status quo until the status quo proves the left entirely correct...
It would be cool if the media would refer to Latin America in any other context besides: criminals, deportation, and "banana republics", considering amerikan imperialism has literally created all of these problems for us
In general it's kind of insane that the Engine of Empire is being dismantled by morons trying to strip copper out of the walls instead of like, revolutionaries of some kind. Like the guys who all directly benefited from it are gutting it because they don't realize it was made for them.
No, no, I've read the stuff out there about feeding 10 billion or whatever (I'm not pushing for population growth, these is stuff assuming projected population growth), you were allowed some eggs, because as far as ANIMAL products go eggs are not that bad. So no.
They are also getting rid of the empire. I don’t think I can tolerate listening to edgelord leftists praise him about that while little kids die of AIDs though. And by ‘can’t tolerate’ I might punch a bitch.
judging from the replies people seem to think the proposal from the degrowth left is simply for GDP to go down and I wish you all a very "please read what they actually say"
The synthesis reports for #biodiversity issues often go further into equity, distribution, and the dangers of economic short-sightedness than the mainstream climate policy analysis.
Imo whenever someone says degrowth is austerity or about reducing the GDP we should just say "wow I'm kind of surprised that's so wild that you think capitalism is really really good and you want even more of it" and insist that's their position.
I can't actually recommend this, because half of degrowthers will aggressively lie to you and try to pass off their position as being basically consumer capitalism, but so efficient there's negligible waste.
liberals are so smug about how incorrect or incoherent left theory is, without ever having done any of the reading, even though they'd absolutely piss their pants in outrage if a conservative said the same thing to them about, say, the politics of climate change
You already see some folks on the degrowth left losing it and I'm pretty sure it's because more than anything they hate to see people listening to Ezra Klein instead of, well, them.
Some commercial banana production in Mexico but plenty of other likely larger sources. But broader proposed, not yet implemented, agricultural tariffs might affect bananas.
He'll likely deliver net degrowth across sectors too, by breaking the system that allows growth. This won't have environmental benefit due to relentless impact intensification in remaining sectors. Worst of all worlds.
Could it be he thinks the “fruit” refers to non- heterosexuals??!??? Just trying to hack the adolescent mind. 33 yrs as middle school teacher gives
me some experience, but then I had hope kids would grow out of it.
Lashing out? Wasn't I referring to the source of Butlerian jihad as being part of Dune, a jihad waged against computers? And is there not irony in using such a name as a handle on a computer app? Or am I missing something, if so, point it out, because irony is not a lash, but I do miss things.
poorly yes, kind of like those just learning the language.
Noticed your handle by the way, you must know the Butlerian Jihad was aimed at computers yet here you are, inciting insurrection against the platform upon which you make your stand.

The left has no power, but all the responsibility.
The right has all the power, but cannot be held responsible for anything.
Interesting that agnosticism towards GDP growth (decoupling) seems to be the center position in this study. https://theconversation.com/idea-of-green-growth-losing-traction-among-climate-policy-researchers-survey-of-nearly-800-academics-reveals-213434

That will get us locally and humanely produced eggs at only 5-10x the current price (which will ensure we don't eat too many)

You don't get it
Don't lash out at others if you're not as competent as you imagined

I say as Mr. Ask It All to learn what is meant.
