This is your personal invitation to discuss the draft of the Nua-Celtic Manifesto with me on https://zotum.net/profile/ncm.
We need #degrowth, a #DonutEconomy and #SystemChange to #Conviviality in a #CaringEconomy of #Partnerism within #planetboundaries

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxim of conduct (19/24):
We know that Mother Earth is a living organism. Decency forbids us to appropriate what belongs to her. Our love for Mother Earth prevents us from cannibalizing her. We recognize that we too are only guests on Mother Earth, and we strive to behave as such.

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxim of conduct (18/24):
We strive to use less resources than Mother Earth provides us with. The less we 'have', the more we can 'be'. In this way, we do our part in preventing the climate catastrophe that is already clearly on the horizon, so that civilized humanity can survive on Mother Earth.

Nicht jedes Thema ist nachrangig zum Klimaschutz.

Die intakte Natur im Meer und an Land hat uns bisher geholfen, die Hälfte unserer Emissionen zu verstecken, sodass die nich in der Atmosphäre blieben.
Nun ist beispielsweise Wald in usw schon keine #Kohlenstoffsenke mehr. wegen falscher Agrarpolitik, die systematisch Artenschutzstrategien in Land- und Forstwirtschaft ausblendet.
Auch Cem Özdemir verhielt sich so. In Landesregierungen sind Grüne auch nicht naturschützend unterwegs sondern GDP-schützend.

Kaputte Natur hilft uns aber nicht mehr, 50% unseres fossilen CO2 zu verstecken. Dann bleibt davon mehr in der Atmo und wir müssTen noch schneller auf 0 um Erhitzung auf ein handlebares Maß zu begrenzen. Karsten Schwanke auf Bluesky: 2C wird bereits in 2035, 1.5C wurde global im 30-Jährigen Mittel im Januar 2025 erreicht: https://bsky.app/profile/kschwanke.bsky.social/post/3lkftxgelo22w

Degrowth und danach Suffizienz statt GDP-fokussierte Wachstumsziele sind nötig, um in alle 9 planetaren Grenzen und schneller auf 0 CO2 zu kommen – UND dafür auch weniger WKA zu brauchen, was weniger tote Milane bedeutet.

Weder @GrueneBundestag noch @dielinke planen #Degrowth und Suffizienz .
Einerseits verständlich: die Wahrheit würde ihre Wählerschaft beunruhigen.
Und solange die anderen Parteien im Verein mit der Polit- und Econ-Journaille den Natur- und Klimaschutz sowieso als lästiges Hobby der Grünen verkaufen, looking at you, @tagesschau und @ZDF ,
wird es gesamtgesellschaftlich auch nicht in die richtige Richtung gehen, geschweigedenn Zivilisationsschutz dabei rauskommen.

Es gibt kein "lesser evil", wenn auch so ein angeblich kleineres Übel direkt in den Untergang führt.

The United States is committed to causing mass deaths to support the wealth of their oligarchy.

The world must stand united against this regime both politically and economically if any of the values of free world are to survive past this generation.

Support science. Support life.

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxims of conduct (14-15/24):
We strive for a democracy that replaces representation as far as possible with direct decisions by the electorates.
We raise our voices against the screaming injustice as well as the terrible grievances on earth.

We do have a much better choice than to go on living the way we are now.

The United States, and the whole world, could instead choose #Degrowth.

https://explore.degrowth.net/degrowth/demystifying-degrowth/

Colorful graphic titled "Demystifying Degrowth." A series of cartoon drawings illustrates the fallacy that buying more things is good for us and good for the economy. This is not true because if everyone in the world consumed as much as the average US citizen, we would need five planets to live on. At the end, the question is asked: How can the economy be reassembled?

Colorful graphic uses cartoon drawings to illustrate the core of degrowth, which embraces a care-based economy. Meaning, what we produce is in accordance with ecological limits, and how we divide it up is to fulfill everyone's needs. Imagine a society that defines productivity and labor not in terms of revenue produced, but in terms of time dedicated to oneself, to family, friends, and to activities in which one's humanity is affirmed.

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxim of conduct (13/24):
We empower ourselves. We strive to overcome dominant systems of power and authoritarian or corrupt forms of rule without violence. We contribute to the abdication of democratically illegitimate rulers and the abolition of nobility and all other privileges.

Nature *is* beautiful. As a kid I thought a lot with such refugia.

Remember: no matter how hard the technocapitalists try, they won't be able to erase life. In a few million years, there'll be little trace of the anthropocene left.

(this is the bedrock of my optimism. I am even convinced that we can well hope for more and that some human communities will be able to manage not even so badly through the collapse of the industrial society.)

There might still be a shimmer of hope for a 22nd century with organized human life: the #trump administration seems to be continuing their #degrowth agenda, even against the warnings of leading economists.

With the policies already showing significant effect on the American and world economy, this without a doubt is the most effective act of the degrowth movement up to date... and he just got started!

Q: What's your location?
A: I'm Spanish and living in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Q: Why do you think #degrowth is, or should be, the future?
A: On the specific topic of achieving carbon neutrality, I see Degrowth as a crucial pillar. Transitioning from fossil fuels to green energy alone just shifts the problem, like dealing with excess batteries or where to put so many renewables.

…Now I’ll accept that notions of #degrowth have to face up to the political improbability of being selected and, probably and more seriously, thermodynamics itself https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/112500670860562086

but we certainly have to *try*, and as with all cultural endeavours, whether it can *work* is perhaps less important than the direction of travel it takes us in.

Personally, I’d rather we soften the rain of blows coming to us than slam into a hard stop at > 183,000 TWh

MastodonJonathan Schofield (@urlyman@mastodon.social)My attempt at Tim Garrett’s model☝️ in bullet point form: - everything in life is pushing energy along networks - all networks are built of matter - having built a network, there is a corresponding energy demand to keep that network functional - but networks are always in the process of decay so they always need maintenance and renewal - too little and it decays, too much and there is a window for growth and for power laws to do their thing - and here we are #climateDiary #decroissance 2/6

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxims of conduct (10/24):
We decide self-determined for self-limitation and against the excessive fulfillment of artificial desires. We accept gratefully what others give us to the best of our ability and give ourselves in gifts, even immaterial ones such as care, what we can without expecting anything in return.
