I’m not sure that’s quite right. I mean, certainly, the phenomenon occurs but the etiology of this sociocultural disease is not quite the correct one for either the right or the left.

For libs, it’s the desire to performatively signal that you’re against anything or anyone exceptional or that will contribute in any way to climate change (which they are usually wrong about anyway). For the right, being degrowth means you are for tradition and returning to some mythical past. Also usually performatively, as the right-wing degrowther neither understands the past they wish to retreat to nor the current aim of any project or idea.

And the libertarians are just being even worse clowns than those two because anything that has a hint of “government” in it they automatically despise; they prefer to be oppressed by corporations.
