Evan Ó Catháin@ThomasConnor @planet4589 I think "tragedy of the commons" is a Capitalist propaganda term that doesn't apply here. The problem is in fact Capitalism, right?
planet4589 (Jonathan McDowell)@evanocathain @ThomasConnor The misuse of the concept for capitalist propaganda doesn't obviate the fact that it's a real thing. The problem is that unregulated capitalism and an unregulated commons is a disastrous combinaiton.
@planet4589 @ThomasConnor I think I am in complete agreement with that summary!
