"People aren't going to "degrow" by themselves" is an immediate flaw, because, well, mere ideas were enough to convince me to change some of the ways I act. You're thinking about all this from policy at the global or national scale, but these ideas are closer to the local and organic level
It's actually a little concerning how your line of reasoning seems to follow the most dystopian path, can't you see any other way of it happening?

It's likely they will do something about it. The EU already has a law in place saying no more regular cars can be sold starting in 2035. Of course, with a nice exception for Ferraris. These dystopian things are happening now, I'm not imagining things.
