@SphereSystem2@meow.lgbt i think its funny that if libraries were proposed today everyone (including the so called left) would insist its unrealistic and would tell us how if we made it libraries no one would ever write books and thered be no incentive to ever tell stories whatsoever,
its honestly amazing that we have libraries, a kinda vaigue light of what could be .. a glimpse of a better world that could exist .. .. sigh .. but its also mostly because of history .. i think?

@Li@tech.lgbt Yeah, like libraries are proof you can just offer things for free, including knowledge and creative works and get this, they keep being made and more people are more literate and knowledgeable. It's almost like putting everything behind a paywall just makes life worse for everyone. It is a shame how unidealistic or jaded people's goals seem to be, like why are long term or theoretical end points not idealistic more often? Sure short term small step goals make sense but not your end goal surely
