The "Tragedy of the Commons" was invented by a white supremacist based on a false history, and it's toxic bullshit

'In a brilliant Twitter thread, UCSB political scientist Matto
Mildenberger recounts the sordid history of Garrett Hardin's classic,
widely cited 1968 article "The Tragedy of the Commons," whose ideas are
taught to millions of undergrads, and whose precepts are used to justify
the privatization of public goods as the only efficient way to manage them.'
