“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!!!
There’s homeless encampments everywhere in Denver that are torn down regularly because residents complain. Denver is a shit ass ‘city’.
Tbh I’ve been feeling like I’ve seen a lot of uselessly contraraian takes like this the party couple of weeks. It’s not really anything new to chaposphere culture, but I feel like it used to be more common to come up with a take like this while riffing in the comments and recognize it as partially true while having a laugh.
Coming up with a hot take and posting about it in a really affirmative way is the kinda stuff that really grosses me out about Twitter (which reminds me that this post is ripped right from there 🤢). Even if there’s a bit of a point to the concept it feels like I’m being trolled by people “on my side” because at face value it’s contraraian to the point of being ridiculous.
its this one user flooding us with hot take nonsense, its basically a meme at this point
