Literally just that, I am tired of hearing about how China is doing green development. I really wanna hear some degrowth voices because I personally don't think drowning in consumer goods is a way I want to imagine a better life.

you could liberalism your way to something resembling degrowth in some sectors. making fewer goods at a higher quality and price is still making less shit, somebody might try to do that at a national economy level to save capitalism for a few years.

that's probably also not something OP is interested in since it's just yachtification of mundane goods.

    Hypothetically possible for a few sectors, but tbh I'll believe it when I see it, the trend I see more often than not is enshittification and planned obsolescence. One of the few sectors where longevity actually increases is, funnily enough, renewables. LiFePo batteries are fucking awesome for self-sufficiency and feature incredible longevity
