How would anyone from Fox "News" know this? They haven't been to a library since they burned the one in Alexandria down.
Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card
I don't think we're talking about love here. We are talking about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!
Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down!
I would definitely patronize the Sex Cauldron
Libraries are another example of a purely Socialist concept that is woven into our "Democratic" society, so this is their chance to demonize libraries in their defamation of Socialism before the Midterms. Museums are next.
When they do that, remind them that nothing is more Socialist than the Fire Department, which was originally a private operation, until the citizens made it a socialist municipal mainstay. Do they want to get rid of the Fire Department, just because it is Socialist? How about public parks? How about State or National Parks?
I'd really like to see the capitalist Fire Brigade, if only to see Terry Pratchett proven right once again.
Ankh-Morpork no longer had a fire brigade. The citizens had a rather disturbingly direct way of thinking at times, and it did not take long for people to see the rather obvious flaw in paying a group of people by the number of fires they put out. The penny really dropped shortly after Charcoal Tuesday.
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo
The original capitalist fire brigade were local companies that a business owner or homeowner could pay to come and put out a fire. They were given a cast iron plaque, called a "Fire Mark," to put on their building, next to the door. When the fire brigade showed up, and there was no Fire Mark, they'd just watch the building burn down, unless the owner paid immediately.
When cities decided that was a terrible system, those fire brigade companies morphed into the first insurance companies, and they've been parasites on our lives ever since.
weirdly i was actually thinking about this the other day and i don’t think it’d go back to that state of affairs. i think we already have an example of what it’s turn into: US emergency departments
they can’t refuse to treat anyone but someone’s on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars of inflated costs. if you don’t have insurance, you’re in debts
i imagine it’d be the same with a non-socialist fire department: they show up to a building and put it out as normal and can’t refuse… 95% of people have fire insurance, and if you don’t you’re in fire debt that costs more than the building they “saved” - and then it still probably has to get torn down because of the damage
and then they’d still justify it saying that they protected the buildings around you which you’d be responsible for repairing if they didn’t put the fire out so it’s not even about your building
Pretty sure the Trump admin has been making cuts to the national forest service, the supposed goal is to weaken oversight and boost resource extraction. I could easily see them thinking a forest burning down is a great thing - more room for data centers.
So yes, they probably would try to get rid of fire departments. Fortunately, though, most of them are locally funded - so they don't really get to make that decision on the federal level.
They absolutely do want to get rid of state and national parks, though. There's valuable minerals on some of that land, and other land that can be repurposed for grazing cattle. They're whittling it away as fast as they can already.
And the only reason the minerals there are valuable is because they've sucked the life out of all the available zones.
All to drive a lifestyle that was impracticle and unaffordable from the start.
They also want to build on it. Billionaires need someplace nice for their 10th home away from us poors

I was wondering how long it would take them to attack libraries. FREE books, internet access, and air conditioning?
More specifically, true information is communism. Don't you know history is what the white man says it is? Google has already updated their search results to reflect revisionist history. Once the libraries are gone, that's it.

The reason fox news is able to make wild claims about libraries is because its viewers haven't stepped foot in a library since they were in elementary school.

Which libraries specifically? So I can avoid them of course.
Libraries are the last sanctuary for the poor and the lost. It used to be the churches. Save all libraries everywhere and build way more.
That's probably why they are attaching them. Also libraries promote learning.
NOTE: You still have to be very quiet, so don't forget the ball gag.
That's just common courtesy!

Damn, I need to start going to my library more often
You can rent movies and games from the library too! It's totally worth it.

Now they come for libraries, the last source of true information. Once those are gone, history is what they say and reality is what they say.
Did fox really report that? I mean I would believe it because fox viewers are absolute morons but I can't tell whats satire anymore
Seems completely plausible, as part of their rhetoric to turn people against drag queen story hour.
I found the same image from April, 2024. A few articles about it from this week, but also a few here and there, including one post on 9Gag (wow, haven't heard that name in a looong time), from April 2024.
So, if it's real, it's not recent.

And Republicans just believe it because none of them have ever been to a library before
Where the fuck did I put my library card...
Oh my god, that's disgusting. Where?
"Don't you know the Dewey Decimal system?"
You know this isn't true because Republicans want to defund them lol
Wow, I'm going to the wrong library. Where is this library?
Is that like a "library plus" subscription? Or do I just go to the counter with my card and ask for a drug fueled orgy?

Which ones. Are any local to me?
Once again, the unhinged Right's imagined Left (and Center) is infinitely more based than the reality.

I've been to some libraries where it's for whatever reason full of people either drunk or high causing a ruckus. Then they sometimes fight, leave needles and stuff behind and yell at random people. The library has hired/asked the mall to get more security, but the library has already got a reputation and people have started avoiding it. It sucks, there's very few nice, calm and quiet community places around.
The situation improved this summer since the drunk or high people spend more time outside but now the close by park has been dug up, so they're back to the library.

damn perhaps we should do something about the underlying socioeconomic problems that cause homelessness and antisocial behavior. No? just shuffle them around some more? oh, okay.
I know critical thinking isn't something a fox news viewer has... but cmon? They can't be this stupid?
