Wait it's not actually word salad, it makes sense. I was out and about and wasn't able to spend time reading it before dashing off my flippant jokey reply below, so I only read it now. So despite the Saturday Spliff, blamazon is pretty coherent. Can you describe what doesn't make sense to you?

I'm not sure where to begin, and frankly I'm astonished you think any of it "makes sense".

To start with, do you know what a tragedy of the commons is?

Second, why would "individual freedom being prized so heavily" entail "people tending to do things like call the police"? Are you familiar with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unofficial_collaborator and the like in authoritarian countries?

Third, what's the source for this bizarre claim that "those [dog owners] tend to do things like call the police on black people"?

Fourth, in what way is the latter at all relevant to the topic?
