> One of my takeaways when I delved deeply into the degrowth movement was that it was substantially a lifestyle fantasy masquerading as a political movement. This is, sadly, the case for a lot of political movements. I wanted to draw on my personal experience as to why, but i realize its not important and everybody here will agree with the statement when they think about it. And it's fine to have a lifestyle fantasy, you ought to strive to live how you want to. What isn't right is to fetishize other people lifestyle (fantasy or not), ether positively or negatively. I think a part of anti-queer discourse wasn't really about about the queerness itself, but about the imagined/fetishized lifestyle. (PS: quick handwashing is cheap and fine for cotton and linen clothes as long as you still use a washing machine from time to time to deep clean them. If you're a struggling student, do that!)
