I enjoy reading, probably more than most - but in an age where everything is interconnected and you can access any and all text from the supercomputer in your pocket, do we even really need libraries anymore?
I have an entire bookshelf full and havent touched them in years.
“culture wars” is such a nonsense and biased phrase to be using. There are no “culture wars” - there are just biggots being biggots. “war on woke” and “culture wars” and just stupid phrases used by the right wing nutters to try and legitimise there stupidity as some kind of “movement”.
Push back for sure, but we should also be reframing the converstion - there is no “war”; this is pushing back against biggotry which is nothing new.
You can view a lot of human history though the lens of two factions. One that that claims to have a monopoly on the truth that they zealously guard suppressing any alternative, the other that claims that everyone can understand the truth. The first leans towards dictatorship the second to democracy.
