It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

"little free libraries" are a pernicious, individualist perversion of Public Libraries. They should all be vandalized for daring to associate themselves with such a venerable institution.
Who erects these things? People who own freestanding/duplex homes on leafy residential urban streets. Who wish to make a permanent display out of how nice they are. Yet in a way that centers themselves with no accountability in sight.
This lady sounds fucked. However as far as I can tell she is in accordance with the conceit of these things.
Try doing this at an actual Public Library and feel the Wrath of the Librarians.
You must be fun at parties.
God forbid anyone would put something out that says "we are a community, here is something we can share together"
Do you go around stomping community gardens too?
I'm not "stomping" on anything. But. If people who were rich enough to have lawns in cities started turning their lawns into "community gardens" where only their rich friends could do stuff, but pretending that it was open to everyone, then started erecting monuments to their own generosity. Then I wouldn't shame anyone for stomping those gardens.
I guess I just don't think rich people who own the nicest properties in town should be the ones to dictate what gets shared and with whom.
I don't know what your deal is. Our little free library is in our neighborhood public park next to our community garden, in the same PUBLIC PARK.
I don't live in the suburbs so I don't know what to tell you
