those "Little Free Libraries" are usually virtue signalling used in racist petite bourgeois suburbs
“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!!!
different if you own the fridge, vs vandalizing a library that someone else installed and maintains. It would be dumb but you could run your own Christian Little Free Library without fucking up other people's efforts
Yesterday I saw my local Love Fridge has recently put up rules for what you can donate, forbidding raw meat. I once talked to a vegan homeless woman using the fridge who said she had a hard time getting food. The limiting factor for these things is often fridge space, and I think rules like that are helpful to make the fridges accessible to everyone. Sometimes you have to remove, e.g., the one hundred quarts of strawberries that someone has donated to make room for more widely useful food*. In the same way, if the fridge had a "no peanut/dairy/sesame/etc" poster I would expect such things to be removed as part of the regular cleaning of the fridge. (As a practical matter, my guess is the new Love Fridge rules were motivated by people putting raw meat in there and leaking on the other stuff.)
*Because the fridges are often overflow from local food distribution charities. Problem always seems to be uneven distribution. If you want a pallet of this one week, a pallet of that the next week, you can get it for free and give it to the needy. But who wants to live off pre-sliced fruit one week and marinara sauce the next week? If you want a consistent amount of good food for people to eat a balanced diet off of, you have to buy it at the grocery store or have a huge intake network to spread out all the weird donations.
What a specious argument. These neighborhoods also have milk in them. Does that make all neighborhoods with milk racist? These things also exist in every major city, look around.

Funnily enough, the top comment in there seems perfectly analogous to this Arkansas nutter replacing all the books with Bibles

Ahhh OK...
The only person I know with one of these free little libraries is a turbolib.
