Many great points by Spartacus. Well worth the listen.After observing the tyranny and tragedy of the lockdowns, I spent some time thinking about what degrowth would actually do to us, as a species. To put it bluntly, it kills people. It kills the young, it kills the old. It is cruel and indiscriminate in its killing potential. I used to get into debates with people about these sorts of things, a long time ago. There was this one fellow, very much of the cornucopian, pro-GDP-growth persuasion, who told me, point-blank, that my ideas about sustainability would end up killing people. I doubted him at the time, but in retrospect, he was absolutely correct.

I watched the lockdowns—economic degrowth put into practice—quite literally massacre innocent people. No one has been held to account for this. Our leaders murdered small children right in front of us. They snatched food right out of their hungry mouths. Worldwide, tens of millions of additional children suffered from malnutrition compared to prior years, due to the supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 lockdowns. Even here in the US, people suffer from joblessness, poverty, and mental health crises on an unimaginable scale. There were huge spikes in drug abuse and suicidal ideation. These are not signs of a healthy society.https://iceni.substack.com/p/spartacast-10
