Don’t let libraries die. As the future goes digital, major publishers are suing to cut off libraries’ defense of digital books from censorship. It’s time to fight back.
It looks like the internet archive is needed assistance, I just heard about this today and figured lemmy could help spread this message around
Reply to the “so don’t do anything?” jump straight to nihilism in response to suggestion that one route hasn’t been successful lately in the near military state? Like we’ve never heard of Occupy Wall Street, million women march, Antifa?
No I didn’t take it as a serious enough question. It was a judgement question, not a curiosity one. A curious question would have been “if you don’t think that works, what could be done instead?”
No, you naysayed protests and then just left it at that. You never said they’re still worth doing, you never provided an alternative, you just said functionally said “it’s pointless“ by rattling off how they hit a wall and then expected me to not take it that way. Bizarre.
We are just going in circles. If you meant something else you’ve had plenty of opportunity to explain yourself. But you continue not to. So until you clarify your stance, I’m going to take the thing you originally said as written. I’m not getting bogged down in “that’s not what I said but I’m not going to say what I meant and keep it as opaque as possible.” Say what you mean or just drop it.
So don’t ever get active or protest or do anything?
Dude I’m in Portland. That’s all we do
Ok…so I don’t get your point then. Your previous comment heavily implied it’s all pointless.
I’ll get back to you after the next election
You’re still dodging responding directly here but ok.

“But ok.”
You said protests lead to a brick wall dude. I don’t know what to tell you. What’s the point of that comment if not to discourage public protests?
But you jumped from “protests haven’t been effective” to “so don’t do anything?”
