The classical example is non-white farmers in an setup where colonialism (= capitalism) had disrupted their regular livelihoods and this served as a justification to steal what little they had left.
Sure, you can discuss it as a theoretical concept that rarely happens outside of severely disrupted circumstances, but that is not how it is used… rather it is used as justification to do even further disruption by the same people that cause the disruption in the first place.

The classical example and trope namer is about COMMONS IN THE UK, where did you get non-white farmers into the example from?
Not in the name defining article by Garrett Hardin. It takes an purely hypothetical scenario from an earlier author from the UK and explicitly extrapolates that to the global south.
Then why are you using the term ‘classical example’? And if we’re not talking about Garrett, who or what are we then talking about?
Edit: Anyway, this is a pointless digression from the original assertion, which is that this is a ridiculous clickbait headline that even the article doesn’t support. I’m going to sleep. Peace.
