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.

Clyde, why do you think this right-wing trope's most vociferous critics are all leftists?

You fell for a trope popularized by a white supremacist eugenicist who spent his career peddling the right-wing "overpopulation" myth.

That's YOU, Clyde.

Pshh, you're not a leftist. You just use the same words they use and think it's the same. You ain't fooling nobody but yourself.

Go snort copium, liberal.

And try to figure out why your holy cows have failed you so miserably just like the leftists told you they would.

Go snort copium, liberal.

Looks like you're snorting enough for the both of us. Thanks for offering to share yours, but I'll pass. Later, loser!

Bye, bye, liberal. Try not to overdose, okay?

You shouldn't have been taught how to communicate

Yes, you liberals would prefer to sell everything and everyone out to the fascists without anyone saying anything.

But you can't have everything you want, can you?
