Iowa imperialism must be stopped

Damn that’s badass

So if Sinwar was killed in a strike on Gaza, does that mean the talking point of Hamas’ leaders hiding in Qatar is complete hasbara?

I’m curious what sort of information they’re asking for. Could one potentially just lie and then get paid for voting for the Green Party or PSL?

lmao no way truly the second time as farce

Whys the lobster man dressed like Two-Face from Batman

The Democratic Party being anti democracy is a great bit, very funny

I agree similarly. Degrowth includes a critique of the consumption economy and overproduction of unnecessary products, but there’s no incentive for capitalists and governments to actually pursue that in a way that makes sense for capitalism, so there’s no concrete path towards degrowth policy until something necessitates it. I do however appreciate the research being done as it provides a vision for socialists in industrialized and post-industrialized countries.

Per Jason Hickel, one of the leading advocates of degrowth, this review is selectively excluding a large amount of degrowth studies.

This hit piece has already come under heavy criticism and for good reason. The methodology really is extremely flawed.

The authors look only at studies with “post-growth” or “degrowth” in the title, but this ignores much of the key empirical work that has shaped and advanced the field recently. The strange thing is that the authors are fully aware of this broader literature, and yet they exclude it.

Not all degrowth research has “degrowth” in the title! Just as not all research on political economy has “political economy” in the title. Basics. Huge swathes of research are ignored… all the work on demand-side mitigation, sufficiency-oriented approaches, energy convergence, ecosocialism, decoupling, doughnut economics, etc — including work reviewed by the IPCC — all of it is ignored.

As Julia Steinberger pointed out, of the 33 papers published under her last major grant on degrowth, only two of them would qualify under this criteria.

Also, if you design your review to include opinion, guess what, you’re going to get a lot of opinion! This is true of any field. This tells us nothing about whether the empirical basis of current degrowth arguments is sound. For that, you need to assess the empirical studies that people actually use for this purpose. And again, most of those are not covered in this review.

This is how DSP becomes good at games

Very generous of the authors that they didn’t include the unelected and objectively anti democratic House of Lords
