anti-intellectualism, classism, and capitalist bootlicking go hand in hand

[ID: The meme from Spongebob of Manray attempting to return Patrick's wallet, while Patrick insists it's not his. Manray asks, "So you agree with this?", while holding up Patrick's ID card, which has now been edited to read, "Books should be accessible to everyone", with the word everyone underlined for emphasis. Patrick replies, "Yes, I do." Manray: So you agree that libraries are good." Patrick: Yes, libraries are good." Manray: And you also agree that if I buy a book, and let my friends borrow it, that's good too?" Patrick: Yes, that's good too. Manray: You agree that letting my friends borrow a book I paid for isn't stealing from anyone? Patrick: Duh. You paid for it, you can let anyone borrow it you want. That's not stealing. Manray: And you also agree that if people are able to borrow a book for free to see if they like it, they're more likely to buy their own copies? Patrick: Yeah, obviously. People buy books if they like them. Manray: So, to be clear: If I buy a book, and let 10 friends read it, one at a time, you agree none of us are stealing, because I paid for the book and my friends are only borrowing it. Letting people borrow something you bought isn't stealing. Patrick: It's not stealing. You can let people borrow your stuff. You own it, it's yours. Manray: So to reiterate: You agree that books should be available to everyone. You agree libraries are good. You agree its fine to let people borrow books you own, and you agree letting people borrow books from you isn't stealing anything from anyone. Correct? Patrick: Correct. Manray: So you agree the Internet Archive's lending library, made up of books they own, is good. Patrick: No. The Internet Archive is evil for lending out books they own for people to read. That's stealing. End Id.]
