Which libraries specifically? So I can avoid them of course.

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 68 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 39 points 3 weeks ago

Seems completely plausible, as part of their rhetoric to turn people against drag queen story hour.

[-] Mikina@programming.dev 23 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 53 points 3 weeks ago

I was wondering how long it would take them to attack libraries. FREE books, internet access, and air conditioning?

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Oh my god, that's disgusting. Where?

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 28 points 3 weeks ago

"Don't you know the Dewey Decimal system?"

Conan the Librarian

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 39 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] rethnor@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 weeks ago

That's probably why they are attaching them. Also libraries promote learning.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 weeks ago

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?

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 18 points 3 weeks ago

When you join your local Friends of the Library chapter, make sure you upgrade to the Friends with Benefits tier.

[-] SourDragon@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, I need to start going to my library more often

[-] rethnor@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 weeks ago

You can rent movies and games from the library too! It's totally worth it.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

My local library rents specialty tools/pans for baking!

And if you can't physically get there as often as you'd like, most have a great collection of digital resources for ebooks, newspapers, film, etc. etc. that are pretty awesome.

Use ALL of what the library has to offer!

Once again, the unhinged Right's imagined Left (and Center) is infinitely more based than the reality.

You know this isn't true because Republicans want to defund them lol

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

And Republicans just believe it because none of them have ever been to a library before

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@piefed.social 21 points 3 weeks ago

Dang: Mine just has books, music, and movies I can enjoy for free.

[-] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

No homeless people jacking off to porno at your library? Must be nice.

But which ones specifically?

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago

NOTE: You still have to be very quiet, so don't forget the ball gag.

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.

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I've seen a library that manages to mediate between its homeless polulation and other patrons, but i could see fox news trying to gin up a moral panoc about libraries rather than have compassion for the homeless.

Step 1 of the plan to close all public libraries in the US.

[-] lizzzy@feddit.uk 13 points 3 weeks ago

Which ones. Are any local to me?

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago

How would anyone from Fox "News" know this? They haven't been to a library since they burned the one in Alexandria down.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

So libraries have turned in to dens of Hookers & Blow?!

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

Just the Presidential library.

Wow, I'm going to the wrong library. Where is this library?

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Where the fuck did I put my library card...

[-] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

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!

fox once again imagining a much more based world to get mad about

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Once again, the US is having all of the fun, when we just have plain boring old libraries with books and magazines.

[-] Ramsesder13te@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

I am only am realising now that "the 7" was probably also parodying "the 5”.

[-] mrmisses@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sex dens, sure, no duh. But DRUG INFESTED?!

[-] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Sign me up! lol. I can’t get an erection. I’ve been to my local library a few times, and they have little rooms you can rent for private meetings and whatnot. Definitely heard a couple fuck in one of those, once.
