[sees book about "antisemitism on the left"]

[thinking] "this is probably a load of anti-Soviet pro-Israel bunk, but I better check the back just to be sure. Being left-wing does not magically mean I've unlearned all the subconscious antisemitism that comes from growing up in an antisemitic society, and I need to take more opportunities to reflect on that fact."

[checks backside]

[it's a load of anti-Soviet pro-Israel bunk]

    I love going to the library, I think it's great to have a physical space where people can go to learn stuff from actual physical paper books, but man. Our local librarian supports trans people but is obsessed with Harry Potter, so it shouldn't surprise you that the library really likes to both-sides its presentation of the conflict in Palestine, it's got books about how great Zelensky is and how terrible Mao is and really nothing genuinely left-wing that I can see. It's just peak LIB shit.
