@ben Feels like the Enclosures (Tragedy of the Commons).
@julesbl@mastodon.me.uk@per_sonne @ben the tragedy of the commons is usually when some wealthy shit steals it
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social@julesbl @per_sonne @ben The Tragedy of the Commons has been exposed as not being a real thing by Elinor Ostrom. There are countless examples of common goods from history as well as a few contemporary ones. Gotta agree with Jules, the tragedy is when some wealthy shit steals or exploits a common good for their own gain and there are no rules enforced to nip that kind of behaviour in the bud.
@AimeeMaroux @julesbl @ben She certainly has a very interesting analysis of the Commons - and one that we in the FLOSS community should revisit more often! Thank you so much for your reminder.
