Why are some people so eager to display that they haven't read anything by degrowth proponents? There are certainly critiques that can be made about degrowth but so many Twitter critics don't even both to read stuff by degrowth scholars so they settle for creating a strawman.

One day maybe critics of degrowth will actually read degrowth. There is a difference between obscene consumption and sufficiency. Also, why is positive social value simply tied to consuming goods? Ascending beyond this is a key to sustainable prosperity.

We will definitely dematerialize the military industrial complex too... The idea that economic growth overall can be dematerialized is fantasy land.
