I want to defend tragedy of the commons. The point is that if you have a resource that is depleted by use but that gives advantage to the individual user, then people are incentivised to use it.

However, the point we should take from it is the exact opposite of 'communism bad' -- it's that we need governance and regulation to prevent overuse of finite resources.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
