“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!!!
What a bunch of frivolous shit to care about. What a thread on that tweet. Let's be real clear here: little free libraries are upstream of fuck all. They don't matter. It's nice, it's performative, it's useful, or it's the expression of bourgeois psychosexual domination - it's not the cause of jack fuck.
