A multi-panel meme using the Godzilla vs. Kong movie poster to illustrate the complexity of counting in different languages. The top panel shows Godzilla (labeled "English") and King Kong (labeled "German") locked in battle, standing on a burning aircraft carrier. Godzilla's label has the text "ninety-nine" and King Kong's has the text "nine and ninety," referencing the word order for numbers like 99. The bottom panel shows Godzilla and King Kong standing in the wreckage, but a Cheems dog (labeled "French") is running in from the right, wielding a large stick and shouting "four twenty ten nine," referencing the complex French counting system for numbers like 99 (quatre-vingt-dix-neuf).

Significance for degrowth: Beyond appropriating technology In their 1972 ten-point programme, the Black Panthers added a demand for people's community control of modern technology, thus highlighting a key prerequisite for any emancipatory society. From a degrowth perspective, bringing modern technology into people's hands must be accompanied by efforts to develop different, non-authoritarian technologies. Indeed, the critique of industrialism and technology, together with the feminist critique, is the strand of degrowth critique that most decisively opposes (potential) post-capitalist projects that uncritically advocate for accelerating technological innovation whether technocentric Green New Deal proposals, digital post-capitalism, or accelerationism. For a non-alienating and non-exploitative technique would require that the structure of the means of production, as they have developed under capitalism and bureaucratic states and within hierarchical societies, are also fundamentally transformed.
