    absolutely wild that someone would assume someone’s political views based on their understanding of ecosystems-level biology, but on lemmy, somehow, i’m no longer surprised

      Lol!

      What did you think the (so-called) “Tragedy Of The Commons” right-wing myth was all about, eh? It’s literally the same argument as the one being peddled here.

        The tragedy of the commons, an argument as to why unfettered capitalism is bad, is right wing (i.e. pro-capitalist) propaganda.

        I’ve officially heard it all now.

          The (so-called) “Tragedy Of The Commons” is literally a right-wing tirade against the collective management of resources, Clyde.

          Go read it again.

            For a start, my name’s not Clyde, it’s Vincent. It’s in my username. Thought you’d’ve figured that out. Second, it’s an argument about why letting a bunch of individuals who have no incentive to care what happens to the group go wild with no previously-agreed-upon restrictions about how much they should use is bad, and that’s not true of any socialist movements I’m aware of. Thirdly, the photo on the Wikipedia page for tragedy of the commons is of pollution.

        I feel like it’s far more likely the commenter was making a joke. I think the give away was when they referenced a post-human world populated by talking lions.
