Library democracy wrings its hands and lets extremist ideologies fester, both through being too weak and placating to act at home and too weak to rein in abuses against Muslim nations abroad.

Not sure what a “library democracy” is supposed to be, but the rest of that sentence does not make sense in this context: the attacker is a rightwing nutjob who liked AfD and Musk posts, not a djihadist or anything like that.

But that’s not the way to solve the issue

So… revolution? It worked once before!

In kindergarden, when one kid was about to hit another, the other kid would say “if you hit me, you have to pay the health insurance!”. None of us had any idea what that could mean, and I have no idea where that idea came from, but it worked, because to us, that sounded bad.

Some of my class mates thought that wrestling was real, and a few of them thought there was a place in the US where it was legally possible to kill a man during a wrestling match. They were quite offended when I told them how ridiculous that notion sounded to me.

which wouldn’t be an issue if publishers stopped being so greedy and predatory

Hah. Good luck with that :)
