he looks like every texan ever
I was gonna say if Al Capone was a pidgeon
I've never wanted to punch someone across the face more
That’s so fucked up!
Sad to throw away so many books tho
Can’t they donate them
So what was that about Nazi book burning?
They're destroying literature they don't approve of in a nutshell and it's infuriating
I mean the balance of power there is completely reversed tho. They’re not comparable events
because who are these people to say that literature isn't valuable
Like as a person who cares about education and literature it sucks to see books being thrown away
Why not just, more books??
I agree with you btw
Throwing the books away doesn’t really solve anything
It's a waste of centuries of history because someone thinks the books are 'boring'
do you want to store them then?
Yes
that would require libraries becoming more popular. or making "Bigger libraries" an issue people care so much about that they would change their vote on
both are unlikely
As I said it’s hardly a perfect solution
well it is a good solution. just a plain not viable one
What about building one large depository of information
There are multiple attempts to do that through the internet
I’d say that it’s mostly been successful
*library of alexandria wants to know your location*
I suppose the way we consume information is different and does not always require a physical copy anymore
It’s important to keep things in perspective
Also I suppose that’s why inter-library loans are a thing tho
It’s not like everyone is throwing out the same books. Some are kept and those are circled around
??
So i mean, maybe that actually is the best solution that can be made via compromise??
This is art
