    You think the pandemic shutdown was simple?

    Compared to the consequences that await us? Yes.

    I don’t know what you being an introvert has to do with this, or why you feel the need to constantly push those thin veiled, passive aggressive insults around. It’s not a matter of you sitting at home instead of socializing, it’s a matter of degrowth. Our economic model does not work. Our mode of transportation do not work. Our consumerism does not work. Our constant need for growth, does not work!

    And if you haven’t noticed it yet, fascism is already on the rise, and will grow further the more climate refugees knock on our doors. But I guess when Frontex ends up shooting them in the thousands at the borders you’ll just acknowledge that with mild interest as well.

    People like you are quite literally proving my point and just reaffirm my stance. You all don’t care, and you do not understand where we’re headed.

      Yes, we do, you wonderful unique genius of an angsty fifteen year old.

      It’s not that hard to understand, you are not possessed of a unique insight that somehow has eluded every economist on the planet.

      You just haven’t figured out that getting angy on the Internet about how everybody is dumb is not the game changer you think it is. Turns out meaningfully altering the collective behavior of eight million people, each with their own individual set of incentives, is less responsive to an earnestly worded social media post that one may think.

      Also, you may have to be more specific about who “we” is supposed to be. Whose economic model are we talking about? Everybody’s? Just how much granularity are you considering here, if any at all?
