I imagine it involving a lot of suffering, the lose of life and property to natural catastrophes, food shortages and political and social revolts due to mass migration and sociaital unrest. Maybe an Eco fashist govment that will force it’s population into degroth, because we missed the window to chance the system gradually without force over the last 50 years. Possibly a right wing government that will ignore the obvious climate chaos or find ways to keep business as normal going for an ever decreasing period of time, but for a more and more elite minority while the rest is left to suffer.
Is this dystopian? Yes. Is it a given? No, but I think it’s a more realistic picture than the one you painted, which strikes me as overly romantic.
After the system finals breaks? After we have had a true simplification and a massiv reduction in global living atandarts? Then your vision might play out, and I hope it will for those that survive the chaos to come. But there will be suffering on the way from now to there.
