people from all corners of twitter
based PMC class solidarity! :epstein:
The noxious class character of these woke twitter socialists is why they got so mad at Shaun, the nicest boy online. Being a sweet and earnest person talking about collective struggle is "idiotic" to these insignificant and low statured creatures. It makes sense that these cannibalistic podcasters are forced to believe that growth is infinite and entropy doesn't exist. Their entire ideology relies on them justifying imperialism because these whiny bloodless Karens have desires that matter more than their child slaves ("To shift the responsibility of Nestle using slave labor to the consumer is fucking monstrous"..."Jeff Bezos should consume less. no one else" this Breadtuber has the same petit bourgeois consumption based ideology as that Ian MIles Cheong freak)
When your entire existence is predicated on exploitation, you have no other concept of "love and faith in humanity" than being able to continue genocide of indigenous people for your imperialist desires. Will these irrelevant soy podcasters ever get their "faith restored" by working in the fields like their apartheid child slaves? Noooo, that's Stalinism :amber:
Degrowth is an ideology that requires them to go outside (uh oh, sorry vampires!) and "touch grass" as these domesticated losers claim is so important and meaningful to their lives. But if they are actually forced to do that wendigo meme praxis, that's apparently "violent authoritarianism"? Ironic
I would like to add that less consumption isn't necessarily a lower standard of living and could be the opposite if people's basic needs are actually guaranteed and they're subject to less abusive conditions than under capitalism.
See: Cuba
Absolutely, the way forward won’t be like a “step up” or “step down” it’ll be better in some ways but I think possible “worse” in others depending on your perspective.
What I mean is I imagine there are some small luxuries we will necessarily need to give up. Like getting strawberries year round bc we stop imperializing nations and forcing them to grow them year round for us. And myriad other little thing that will be good for the planet and the exploited but maybe an inconvenience for us in the imperial core.
We probably won’t be traveling for leisure as much, reducing travel planes etc, at least until we get shit under control
But in return we get control of our lives, actual democracy and health care and shit so fuck it. Plus the ppl mostly inconvenienced by this are a drop in the bucket compared to the rest so... who cares what they think lol
As someone who tries to live with minimal consumption and kinda judges people who don't, I down with this. However I also worry that people just seem to really want their shit, too, so we have to work around that.
