    How is degrowth realistic at all? And how does degrowth happen in a way that isnt billions of people starving to death?

      Uh, lower birth rates? …which can be helped along with expanding education and birth control. I’m pretty sure religion and capitalism promote growing populations, if we could reduce the power of either of those, that too could have significant effect.

      I find it odd how limited your brain is that you could only conceive of two possibilities, infinite growth or genocide.
