Protip: if you want your movement to gain any political traction, don’t call it the degrowth movement
What would you call it? Its kinda like the “defund police” thing. If they called it “reallocate police resources” opposition to the movement would just use the stronger “defund police” language as a cudgel to smear it. It’s best to own it and educate
Pro tip: any one telling you the problem with your movement is the optics, doesn’t actually care about the objectives of thst movement
I care very much for this objective, I just think you’ll never convince the dumber people with a name they’d immediately perceive as very negative
This has extremely strong “defund the police is not a good slogan” energy.
Also i don’t view people who share my position yet are not yet aware or educated yet on why they should stand in solidarity with the rest of their class as “the dumber people.”
That kind of language and outlook isn’t something i view favorably. Its ar best borderline ableist, and conveys a sense that you veiw yourself as superior to those you should be in solidarity with.
If you do care about these issues then i suggest a little self crit on this
