@elmyra @gerrymcgovern Not that I’m against degrowth generally because we have to put up with a lot of junk, pollution, and bullshit with the way things are, but UBI and “doing community care like in ancient times” are not going to substitute for medicine or mobility aids. People need to check their ableism.

@MisuseCase @gerrymcgovern yep. And even if a non-zero amount of disability and chronic illness *is* caused by capitalism, any degrowth society is going to have to deal with the soon be billions of people with some form of long covid/ME that it will inherit from capitalism. Unless the plan is to just continue capitalism's eugenics campaign against us...
