"We need to rebuild the #commons. When industries are polluting the atmosphere or the oceans, they are, in fact, #privatising the commons ("considering a #common good as their private trash"). When an industry receives millions in #public #subsidies then make a patent, that industry is privatising the common. When Google is putting the Linux kernel in a phone that cannot be modified easily, Google is privatising the common. Why do we need expensive electric cars? Because the #automotive industry has been on a century-long mission to kill public transport or the sole idea of going on foot, to destroy the commons.

We need to defend our commons."

Very, very much on point, @ploum !
