@gerrymcgovern This might be less paradoxical than it sounds. We have to factor in the generational divide which tends to limit the consumption opportunities of younger population. Then it's not that strange to be in favor of degrowth as a collective project, while individually acting within the constraints of the current system.
Particularly, the generational divide (on a global scale) is related to housing. But maybe older people living extravagantly does not count as "consumption"?
