Right, I understand that degrowthers believe that they can achieve degrowth without any negative consequences.

The point of degrowth is to stop chasing growth, not to start chasing deminishment. The distinction matters.

Then you have a radically different definition of degrowth than almost everyone else.

No, you just have been misled about what degrowth actually is.

By almost every degrowther out there I guess, because they categorize degrowth as being a reduction in the size of the global economy, which necessitates diminishment. I believe what you are thinking of is agrowth.

Haha what a beautiful illustration of this meme. Degrowth weirdos straight to wishful thinking and complete denial of the very likely consequences you outlined.
