"What many countries around the world are about to experience... is a period of rapid and involuntary decarbonisation. And that will necessarily mean rapid and involuntary degrowth.
Degrowth is a highly divisive term – and many will reject it. The main shortcoming of degrowth is the assumption that it will be in some way up to us to decide – a kind of lifestyle choice.
It won’t be; whether you like degrowth or hate it, the war on Iran makes it all but unavoidable"
https://open.substack.com/pub/reclaimedsystems/p/how-to-lose-an-empire-in-less-thandegrowth is such a wonderfully complicated, interesting, and necessary topic
forced degrowth of course will hit poorer countries harder unfortunately, and coupled with existing cost of living emergencies, this is going to be very bad for most people
the goal, if economies could intentionally move towards degrowth, (as you probably know) is called the "steady state economy"
this is a quick explainer i like about it

Change is inevitable. Through foresight and adaptation, you can become a shaper of change. Else you will be the prey of change. -

I appreciate your offer but not if it's from substack, thanks. I've sworn it off for my reasons and I'm not going to dilute them by treating Internet backups like a third-hand laundry service -

https://open.substack.com/pub/reclaimedsystems/p/how-to-lose-an-empire-in-less-than@catileptic I am still taken back by sheer stupidity that caused this. I know, yes, these people are not smart, but remove just a few safeguards and their whole world is just brought down by stupidness.
This WILL force countries to move away from oil as strategic resource, just because it is most energy dense, it is just not worth the cost. -
