"silent majority" damn I wish you would shut the fuck up already!!
I hate the silent majority shtick. I wish they’d shut the fuck up and get out of my way
For being a silent majority they sure are an annoying small minority
i am mentioning for no particular reason that this is one of those stand your ground states
I wanna kick this lady in the teeth
How about "My little arsenal" and it's a box of free guns for the homeless and poor.
You have not found needles in little free libraries Jenny stop lying
i've worked at a more typical kind of library and we've handed out needles before. Some cities do it as initiatives to reduce needle sharing and curb HIV and hepatitis. I could believe some library boxes have needle kits.
I was going to joke about replacing all the Bibles with Korans, but then I realized that it'd probably trigger a wave of anti-muslim hate crimes.
Silent majority, but for some reason these libraries aren’t already stocked with bibles and right-wing apologia
Depends on the library. I worked at one over 10 years ago and there was a low intensity battle between the head librarian (a cool former hippy guy with a pleasant demeanor) and the city appointed nepotism hire head of library resources (a bitter racist lady who was an open young earth creationist).
Since the resources lady was married to some city official, she had more away on her side to completely remove stuff from our science section. She kept removing stuff about black history too. Right when I was leaving she was having a fight, that she framed in terms of grant money, to install an explicitly evangelical wing of the library complete with a Bible study corner and regular visits from her preacher.
We had a more normal Bible study group that would meet on Wednesdays and even they were against her. America sucks.
silent majority
is a minority that constantly screams "we're going to genocide you" at my queer siblings in the US at the top of their lungs
Reading some of these comments you'd think they build little free libraries by dismantling actual libraries, I think some of you could stand to take it down a notch
those "Little Free Libraries" are usually virtue signalling used in racist petite bourgeois suburbs
“The Free Little Library” was never intended to actually provide books to those who need them, but to give affluent neighborhoods a homey, quirky, intellectual, benevolent aesthetic.
In Denver, the same neighborhoods that have them are the ones that vote to make it illegal for homeless people to exist, because they don’t like the idea of homeless people being near their homes.
This has been an issue in Denver for YEARS, and yet the same neighborhoods that vote for these bans have SO many Free Little Libraries.
THEY LIVE IS A DOCUMENTARY 👁️
I bet nazis had something similar, extremely soy attempt at resolving the contradictions of class society. Literary Karens are just as disgusting as any illiterate fascists!!!
What a specious argument. These neighborhoods also have milk in them. Does that make all neighborhoods with milk racist? These things also exist in every major city, look around.
