Americans: “Tragedy of the Commons proves that people are incapable of working together for mutual benefit, because personal greed will always lead to the devastation of the collective common good.”

Don’t worry, trumps learning. Jan 6th insurrectionists are all getting pardoned right now meanwhile people are getting deported for saying free palestine.
Additionally, we have managed pastures, woods, and fisheries for thousands of years without government intervention. The so-called tragedy is solved by community members (checks notes) talking about how to preserve the resources required for their survival.
