For post-growth to go mainstream we will need drastic regulations and control, think of "Fit for 55"[0] rules but more dystopian. Post-growth isn't compatible with capitalism or human greed.
I hardly see it now in the world where people thrive for FI/RE by stashing tons of savings on ETFs and expecting them to grow forever but not really caring how that growth impacts the society and the environment. I don't know any system in history which sustainably condoned greed without victims.
To be honest I don't see the way to fix the global "growth" problem. I am afraid the nature will be fixing it as usual with cataclysms and famines.
