Fantastic summary, I don’t understand why this post had a 1:1 upvote:downvote ratio when the article is so relevant and interesting.
I can now say that I oscillate between reformist and hedonic defeatist attitudes, with an aesthetic ideal somewhere between solarpunk and cottage core. It’s fascinating to me how strongly some of the other views make my stomach churn.
Reformist defeatist checking in.
Reform could fix it and is the solution, but also I don't think the people with power care or that things will get better without the actual collapse happening sadly. Big big changes are needed and to many different groups exists with different ideals and this is a global problem.
