Degrowth will happen. Nature will force it's hand.

  Nature has no say in Meta Worlds! Long Growth.

  If degrowth happens on average, people with privilege will expect (and take steps to ensure) that it won't apply to them but only to others.

    Well, that is exactly why there is growth dependence. Some people have extra things they don't really want, so others will have to repeat the same work just to get the same things that already exist. It's like group homework. If one person does everything, others won't get to do it themselves. So they have to redo the homework on their own to learn instead of learning together. It's also why the wage inflation spiral exists. Full employment may require busy work, as we do our work more efficiently we need an exponentially growing amount of busy work. If people simply worked less, without leaving individuals unemployed, you wouldn't have the damn spiral.
