With the invention of the internet they are largely useless. If they didn't exist we would probably have computer booths similar to phone booths, a free market solution that is more effective and uses less resources.

There are still libraries?

In year 2017, public libraries are utterly retarded and are nothing but waste of tax payer's money, just like all other commie things.

>Reminder that public libraries are communist institutions ;)
Well yes, of course?

Public libraries are infested with niggers, the homeless and shitstain children who play minecraft on the computers

>le everything that can be somehow related to communism is inherently bad meme

The idea is largely outdated but once had extraordinary benefits. Kill yourself you greasy cum stain.

Harder to edit written words not so much for digital. Fagot slide thread

Nah, the internet is still largely lies and proaganda and adverts.

It's not outdated. Communism is inherently bad and is the single most dangerous ideology in human history. It must be demonised with constant terrible reminders of how bad it was.

This is how leftism warps a society: an actual culture would treasure public libraries as a means of communicating culture and values to the next generation; now, no one really knows what goes on in libraries aside from homeless people jacking off, and so they're rightfully skeptical of them. My city actually has a decent library that puts on some childrens programming and I take my kids there, but we stay away for some stretches after I get depressed by all the shitskin kids (this is in socal)

Libraries were around a lot longer than c*mmunism you dumbasses, and c*mmunism isn't an intellectual ideology

I think he meant the concept of libraries.

Oh of course, all the people who constructed the Library of Alexandria, all communists. Every historian knows that.

I love this tweet for two reasons.
1) because of much the commyfags will latch onto this, obsess over it and proudly state it with conviction and seriousness the next time they pay for a coffee and sit in a heated building
2) the fucking irony. Communism isn't so bad guys. Just look at the public libraries. If only everyone else realized what was at the foundational level of a public library that made it function, and if only everything else in this broken society would run just like our glorious public libraries that I haven't been to since my school and mum forced me to, and when I wanted to be different so I went to a fucking library

fucking kek
libraries are so outdated and failingly miserably.
They are a left-wing idea, and you have your head so far up your ass that you're proud of it.

Public libraries were invented when private collectors let their communities peruse their studies with return ledgers filled out for borrowing. Charity is not left-wing, theft is.

And I suppose the internet and Sup Forums are communist too? Fuck off.

REMEMBER TO SAGE

They're needed now partly because of the absurd prices for scholarly books and journals. But yes, they're still invaluable for doing any kind of in-depth (many, many books needed) or solid, scholarly (aka non-internet) research. Also, because some works are too rare to have been picked up in pre-copyright digital scans for the internet, and because many books from the 20's through 00's are only available in paper form, and at high prices. Go deep in the stacks at a serious, old university library if you want peace, quiet, and isolation, outside of the wilderness. Thank you God for libraries, preserving so much wisdom from our infinitely superior ancestors.

Sure. My home is communist too. Everyone can eat from the fridge, and has the duty to refill it, everyone shits in the same toilet and has the dirt to keep it clean.

There are just tough immigration laws. Just like in libraries so niggers can't get in and steal all the books. Because there's way more than one dimension in politics, and many different levels where it is applied too.

University libraries =/= Public libraries
Any university library worth its salt does not let the general public in.

That's more like communalism than communism. You share with an extremely select in-group on a voluntary basis, which is not problematic. Problems with communism scale with size.

I'm in a very white, Midwest state, so maybe that changes things. It's the main state university, and although I'm a former student and graduate, it is open to all state residents. I virtually never find the books I want checked out, and virtually none of them have been checked out but once every 4 years of so, on average. It's a great, great deal.

No, not in the general sense of the word communism as it is understood today or the previous century.
Matthew Yglesias is a retard.

So basically a library works OK when it's privately maintained and operated in a high-trust, homogeneous community.

Interesting... who would've guessed it?

I went to university in a city and even though I'm a graduate they don't let me in there any more, only current students. Homeless people literally sleep in the park outside the library.

What all of you don't realize is half the fucking system was created by an act of charity by an rich oligarch - the public library is the most libertarian institution that exists in today's society.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Carnegie_library

public libraries are just a branch of the state education program.
of course their selection of books is limited to what the "deep" state wants you to read. State University's have a much wider selection in their libraries, or you could just search online for information.

Libraries are literally just someone letting others borrow their property, and the only opposition to that would be Governments interfering. Any opposition to libraries would be from statists, not the right as a whole.

Libraries have existed for over 2000 years. There's nothing political about a library. This retard and the retards in this thread are retarded.

>single most dangerous ideology in human history
See, that just gets me thinking. I could invent a worse one. There's no point hyperbolizing - but honest criticism of communism looks like hyperbole, because it really is that bad. People have a hard time believing just how bad an idea communism really is. A worse ideology might get to ride even farther on refuge in audacity.

>American public libraries started by Ben Franklin
>communist

Pick one

public libraries are a Roman idea. we have architectural guidelines committed in writing e.g. in Vitruvius as to their optimal layout'n'shit. was ancient Rome that much into communism?

Naw, The Greeks hade them before Rome.

Books are no different.

>strawman
you got us there.

>commies
>allowing wrongthink to exist

>Public libraries are infested with niggers

Try living in a white neighbourhood instead of a progressive mulitcultural shithole.

Even in semi-progressive multicultural shitholes where the rot has a foothold but hasn't taken over yet, libraries remain one of the best last vestiges of the displaced white community.

None of the other races seem to give anywhere near as much of a fuck about reading. Most of the non-whites who DO show up in a library are only there to use the media machines, be they computer, television, or free wifi; a library with none of these modern conveniences (or one with them locked behind a paywall) will almost certainly avoid the non-white plague for as long as it's possible in that given community.

checked

Hitler was left-wing and he burned all the innocent jews' books.

If they didn't already exist people would think public roads were left wing too.

Then stop reading books with pop-ups. Those are children. Also the propaganda books and lying books are rarer than their internet equivalent since books need a publisher and cost money to make. Vastly different.

>no one knows what goes on in libraries

>local communities used for anything besides money laundering
>modern left wing idea
lmao

Only weird fanciful/idle people on social media think of shit like this.

...

It's hilarious but they are, they are the only places that won't auto kick out niglets. Of course the niggers don't read they listen to music and look up how to get more welfare on the PCs.

Must be why they're failing.

But libraries were invented by people back in the days who wanted to archive their crop stats and shit. You know, early capitalists?

What are some good books to buy Sup Forums

There's a reason for all the masturbating homeless people and dodgy children shit that goes on in American libraries - listen to the second half of this with the interview (from 1:12)
>nyccrimereport.libsyn.com/310-double-episode-bonus-guest
Essentially, the American Library Association has an extremist position on your rights to access porn in libraries.

She's going to become a valuable member of society.

Near every publicly funded library in the US bought Hillary's book.

Think about that long and hard.

And now they're being shut down on the basis that they don't make any money. You know, by capitalists?

Public libraries predate the current language that you are using, let alone the right/left dichotomy.

My wife works at our local public library. Despite being in a particularly white, middle class, conservative small town, it is effectively a day time halfway house for social misfits, obnoxious retired pensioners, utterly obnoxious mothers, and people too miserly and useless to own a computer and have the internet connected at home.

Look up how much your city pays librarians. Seriously.

They shelve books.

There's that "Conservatives hate everything new and are completely unable to think" narrative again. If they're so smart and popular, how come they hate themselves? Really makes me think.

>niggers in a library

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They also run around, yell, bother other people, throw things, destroy for the sake of destruction, break things, and generally act like animals. Meanwhile if Big Momma is around she will do absolutely nothing unless someone scolds her precious child, in which case she will scream and yell and threaten to assault anyone who dares speak to her baby. I love libraries and hate fucking niggers

>It can't be a lie if someone wrote it and put it into a series of sheets of paper!
>The internet is different because ANYONE can just type up the most insane lies
I honestly hope you're serious so I can laugh at you. It wouldn't feel right if you were only pretending to be retarded.

They're not there reading Meditations. It's just a place to look at porn and generally be niggerty.

They're effectively customer service clerks, research assistants, events organisers, IT troubleshooters, program coordinators, and occasional book shelvers - but that's more an after school job for teens.

If we didn't exist, we would still have feudalism. You would all be forced to remain illiterate and to spend your life working in the fields.

They never made any money, at least not directly. It's more about the effect of internet and digitalization becoming more common. People won't bother to go to library anymore because they can read it all on their phone screen. We have to close down libraries so that we can afford to feed Ahmed and his friends.

>infested with niggers and homeless
Homeless people and niggers who read books are doing something right.
If they don't read books they should be kicked out of the library so other people can.

>used to enjoy spending time quietly reading in the library
>all the public ones are now full of loud ass hispanics who I assume got lost on their way to the welfare office

Public libraries were originally instituted by private individuals and charitable organisations. It's only nowadays that they've become a government-owned, government-funded thing.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library

Actually, nowadays they're being shut down on the basis that most libraries aren't used by the public. Opposition to closures comes exclusively from public sector unions whose only purpose is to make sure that their member have makework jobs funded by the taxpayer.

Source: am an actual librarian.

>You know, by capitalists?

Except that the vast majority of library closures in the UK are taking place in Labour-controlled areas. You know, Labour. The socialists. The party of the workers.

In non-Labour areas, the preference is for library amalgamation. Several small underused libraries are combined into a single large library.

But, hey, don't let reality get in the way of what you read in the Guardian.

No. Library assistants shelve books. Librarians do awesome stuff, like shitposting on Sup Forums.

How big is your library and how many people use for its actual purpose (borrowing books)?
