somethingsnappy comments on We economists have done the maths: ‘growth’ is a doomed strategy – there is a better way

Economics is hand waving at best. Biologists have known this since at least the discovery of bacteria, and used science and math.

Hm, do you think anyone else was talking about it from an economics standpoint at the same time? Earlier even? Anyone at all who would be noteworthy to a SocDem party?

I wouldn't care, economics is social studies, not science.

Karl Marx was an economist, you dult. Economics is a materialist study, it isn't just "business-brained capitalists." STEM people are so helpless dude.

As a socialist, you're being weird, and kind of mean.

I don't care if I'm mean to people who refuse to accept when they're harmful. I'm happy to be mean to someone who tries to gaslight people and uses "weird" as an insult as though that doesn't tell the rest of us exactly what you think of people whom you aren't comfortable around.

Liberals try to colonize everything, and they don't even have the respect for others to anticipate us seeing through their shallow performance. Hope you're uncomfortable; learn from it.
