You know how some people, or phenomenon, are so popular, they can get away with just their first name? Or like, if you add the word "The", in front of the noun, it implies there is just one?

I want to declare this phenomena in this article, as "The Tragedy" - that slow boiling, that this article discusses. Make it so popular, that we can all just use the word non-ironically, to explain the expansion of the state at the cost of prosperity.
