It's not fashionable to talk about consuming less as a climate solution because our economy is based on selling us crap that no one needs.

I don't know how #degrowth can work within #capitalism. Worse, I don't know how it can work within #democracy. I am open to #ideas.

@geographile #humanarchism?

@vegafjord I have not yet explored that idea but I will look at it more closely in 12 hours or so.

@vegafjord my concern is that we will have great ideas that could save the planet and that people who want money absolutely right now will somehow manage to wrest control.

@geographile I believe that we humans look too much to those in power. We need to look to our peers instead. We need to become leaders and honor our own voice.

Because people power comes when people collaborate.

@vegafjord what if those in #power want to remain in power?

@geographile We need to create our own systems that works independent of the system at large. That way, the powerful doesnt have power over us.

If the ideology is seen as a threat, it will be attempted crushed by the powerful, but if it has high spreadability, it can overcome that.
