@wvenator Between beginnings and ends, are Ranges. So De:growth has its correlate Pro:growth.
Linguistically, the equation is sometimes illustrated as degrow~overgrow, within the growth 'set' (see: Set Theory).
In simplex~complex sets, growth overlaps with more complex sets, such as cascading climate effects from abusive "growth", like #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy oppression tactics, for more #Capitalism #greed.

“Documents reveal that the Consumer Council for Water has asked water companies to advise on how they wish to be held to account by consumers.” Mmm let’s see. In no way that’s going to interfere with our profits or bonuses? #Water #Privatisation #Capitalism #Lobbying #Labour

“Reindeer and rare-earth minerals: Swedish politicians take aim at Indigenous Sami in mining dispute. Gabna community fear their traditional herding routes will be sacrificed as far-right rhetoric ramps up against them.” Who cares about wretched reindeer routes when I need the minerals for my ‘green’ EV SUV? (And they make me and my pals lots and lots of money). #Environment #Mining #Capitalism

The rise of an ultra-wealthy class means that it's time for a deep reset, and said reset is not going to come from said ultra-wealthy class. >:( #capitalism #LateStageCapitalism -
This is good so far. A capitalist talking about socialism. He thinks capitalism + policy is how we got where we are, like labor should have never been taxed higher than returns on capital.

Humans are born communists, they don't need to learn communism from books or courses. Hunters and gatherers lived in egalitarian communities, sharing with each according to their needs. Learning the theory behind #communism helps with unlearning the capitalist propaganda we and everyone in the past few hundred years has been indoctrinated with for our entire lives. But you're inherently a communist.
Talk with children to see that this is true.
It's #capitalism that needs to be learned and "picked up" as it's against human nature. Capitalism didn't even exist 600 years ago.
Be willing to unlearn capitalism.

Can Solarpunk Save the World?
The choice, then, is clear: solarpunk, or barbarism.
by Stacey Balkan, November 15, 2022
Excerpt: "Offering an imperfect but clear-eyed hope, rather than so many apocalyptic nightmares, is a key goal of solarpunk fiction. While many critics argue that radical change will only come about following the total collapse of Earth systems—in other words, the apocalypse imagined by popular climate fiction and much recent zombie fare—it has become increasingly evident that such alarmism possesses no political utility.
"Furthermore, in a discussion about climate and energy justice, we must acknowledge that, for many #Indigenous communities, the 'apocalypse' happened long ago: during the long 16th-century, when an expanding plantation system expedited the removal and enslavement of millions of #BIPOC persons in order to accommodate the #hyperconsumption of imperial centers like London.
"Apocalypse, as a geohistorical event or literary trope, is thus not central to solarpunk. That is, solarpunk doesn’t require an environmental apocalypse, because most solarpunk practitioners understand the material legacies of #SettlerColonialism as on ongoing apocalypse.
"Consequently, solarpunk worlds are not necessarily postapocalyptic (nor set in the future), but they are #postextractivist. Responding to the ethos of #extractive #capitalism — whereby the colonized exist as 'fuel … for the sake of someone else’s good life' — solarpunk imaginaries demand a thorough dismantling of fossil-fueled modernity and the material infrastructures (and attendant cultural expressions) that occasioned our comprehensive dependence on prehistoric carbon. Quite logically then, solarpunk also rejects the techno-utopian project of saving industrial modernity via increasingly hubristic geoengineering schemes."

Given that there's no correlation between CEO pay and performance, why not? Most CEOs are poor strategic thinkers, too.
"Is OpenExecutive actually going to outmode the CEO? Probably not, since, whatever your opinions on them, there’s a lot to being the head of a company that a machine can’t emulate"

Nothing is inevitable. Holding on to tenderness, to the will to create alternative systems of care, safety and love. That is my offering, we are enough and we will remember.

Former car #workers have a moral tale for our times
Abandoned by company they worked for, let down by #Labour & #unions. They watch their friends turn to #Reform

Thinking of Friday afternoon in March last year. The place they had worked for 2-3 decades each, making friends, meeting future wives, is shutting for good

Since XBOX can't stop taking the L, I suppose.

Media, and most people around the world have forgotten about Albania and their never ending protests against oligarchs and Epstein class zionist trying to destroy their country.
Almost 100 nights of protests with 100s of thousands protesting every night hasn't gotten the publicity they deserve.
Albania needs our help to spread their message and ask for support of their fight against corruption at home and the global disaster capitalism.
