Social dilemma theories (e.g. totc, prisoners dilemma, etc) are kind of neutral, though, and it’s one of the easiest ways to argue in favor of climate change regulation. As in, people make choices between selfish and cooperative choices. Some are more inclined for one or the other, but regulation can help curb the selfish oriented people.
In my social psych class I get to share research that literally says conservatives and people who prefer authoritarianism prefer competitive choices (as well as other factors). It’s basically a field devoted to figuring out what causes people who ruin everything for everyone else, lol.
I mean, sure. Fuck malthusians.
