I am going to start calling the reduction or removal of minor things that helped society "micro regressions".

Is tragedy of the commons overused?

Enpissification?

Micro-regressions will largely be in the realm of charity and hospitality as society has aggressively embodied capitalism's cost and benefit analysis.

  Don't forget privacy Feels like tons of micro regressions around our expectations of privacy these days

I’m not sure it’s a regression really If you look at a graph of the world population it’s seems clear to me that freely available common resources are just going to continue to get overused and ruined as we continue to add people to the equation

  Surely bathrooms are something we can produce faster than the rate at which population increases.

    people can destroy things faster than you can build or even maintain them is the problem. it's mean to identify the certain people or hold them accountable, though, so we don't.

      Your argument is unrelated to the global population.

  but wouldn't that also follow... more people can create and maintain more common resources? tbh I think this falls into a more familiar pattern with a coincidentally fitting name: enshittification no one makes money off of public toilets, so they don't exist anymore

  It probably isn't as much about population growth as the increasing wealth gap. My hypothesis would be that a society where people don't feel fair distribution of wealth is more prone to this 'abuse' that you call 'overuse'.

    I think it's mostly drug addicts.
    - mym1990 22d ago
      Drug addicts don't become addicts all of the sudden. Lots of people with no place to go resort to awful things, people that feel like they have no place in society do not see a reason to take care of it. It doesn't make it right, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to address the root cause.
