I don't see how you can frame this as more significant than the decision after WW2 that fascism was not a threat to the nation (but communism was).

See my other post. The theory specifically cites enclosure as an example of it. Most of the other examples are hypothetical ones.

Insisting that everyone but you is using binary thinking is in itself a form of binary thinking.

The challenge is you assuming people are saying things that they aren't saying.

I sadly have an article featuring @sotreu.bsky.social about this! And everyone should read Dark Matters modelviewculture.com/pieces/every...

White folks are pathetic. They think gazing on a Black person being murdered live on camera is entertaining just like they thought lychings were entertaining. They don’t want to do anything about cop brutality because it would stop the show. @sotreu.bsky.social

Everyone Watches, Nobody Sees: How Black Women Disrupt Surveillance Theorymodelviewculture.com Our picture of surveillance needs to factor in not just tech developments, but the cultural standards that have bred surveillance, especially towards black culture, as part and parcel in our world.

No I have encountered this before, this is two different narratives about how the enclosure of the commons came about.

The original essay that developed the theory used enclosure as an example of it www.thelandmagazine.org.uk/articles/sho...

A Short History of Enclosure in Britain | The Land Magazinewww.thelandmagazine.org.uk Over the course of a few hundred years, much of Britain's land has been privatized — that is to say taken out of some form of collective ownership and management and handed over to individuals.

You assumed that meant the only solution. It is reasonable to assume it means the best solution.

You seem to be taking issue with the fact that people are doing that here.

You may have assumed they meant something different. But the post just says that meeting people's needs is the best way to reduce petty crime like shoplifting. And it is.

I think the beneficiaries of this cycle have an incentive to frame it as a natural way of the world that cannot be changed.

But this kind of shoplifting seems like it would generally be at a consistent level, I can't see how it accounts for a perceived rise in it.

And these reasons can also be understood and worked on. The authoritarian approach would not work here either.

Nobody suggested there was a simple single solution to all possible forms of crime. They said that focusing on prevention is a far better approach than authoritarian crackdowns. Because it is.

Oh wow yes the last thing especially. The demand to obey a model of humanity you know you aren't included in.

Who is creating the incentives in this version? I do agree that that description applies to a lot of what is happening now. But I think we need to understand how it came about in order to fix it.

There's this main character shit where people assume posts on someone else's TL must be directly personally targeted at them even when there's nothing to suggest that.

Especially when it comes to the bs about 'doomerism'. As if there's no difference between responding to happy posts to say it's all shit and saying on your own TL that it's all shit.

Demanding that people be normal isn't going to help. They're generally already doing that. But your normal isn't the same as their normal.

I was taught the tragedy of the commons as a story of the upper classes assuming they had the right to own everything and taking it from the masses by force. It's odd how often it seems to be used to mean something entirely different.

Do you know what Biden's healthcare plan is or do you just assume it is a Good one? Can you actually provide the same level of detailed certainty you are demanding from others about how it will work?

I suspect there's also some prepared rebuttals for all of them

I often get the sense that British politicians do not actively want to restore the empire, but they do very much expect and demand that the victims of it should not be complaining and should in fact be saying thank you for the 'help' that was provided 😭

The people at the top would rather we obeyed happily with a smile. They don't want us to be sad and complaining. They want us to shut the fuck up. The people who are sad are not driving the problem by being sad.

The primary driver of this culture war is a defense of established systems of hierarchical abuse by the beneficiaries of it. Not grand evil plots by a convenient foreign Other. That's the easy answer. But it isn't a helpful one.

And it is entirely possible for someone to have been both a victim and a beneficiary. Understanding the way the upper classes generally treat their children made this very clear to me. I don't think it could be maintained without that institutional dehumanisation.

No this statement is true for all forms of crime.

You're suggesting that it's impossible for a reasonable person to disagree with you.

No. You're interested in protecting your narrative of Biden as a saviour and insisting dissent only comes from ignorance.
