Nah, libraries are theft. When you borrow a book from a library and you read it, then you have stolen a book from the publisher. Then you give it back and the next person comes along and reads the same book, stealing even more from the publisher.

Your meme has inspired me to renew my library card.
We should all aspire to be the Oceans 11 heist of having a library card.
If you read the book really fast, you can read it multiple times, costing the publisher even more. If you read it enough times, you could even force the publisher into bankruptcy.

Stallman would be proud lmao.
Yup. Tbh, memory in general is theft. You should not be able to have the memory of the book you read unless you keep paying for it. Really should be introducing subscription models for memories of experiences, like reading. Otherwise it’s lobotomy for you.
Please...please don't give them ideas.
Give them any idea and then stop the shitty ones.
People with dementia will save so much money.
I can remember it for you wholesale
Brings to mind this bit from Tom Scott

Best option is to just buy the book and not read it! That's the best option for the publishers.
as well as uni classes
Nah someone could potentially pick up the book and ~~read~~ steal it. The proper way to respectfully buy a book is to burn the book itself and stick the empty sleeve on display to give the publisher the ad they deserve.
You wouldn't download a ~~car~~ book
Somebody just got promoted at the ACS. ;p
When you're a die-hard capitalist:
First time I've ever seen anyone speaking out for publishers and against lending and borrowing. You're even ignoring how authors only get less than 10% of sales while publishers get 90% or so.
I believe they are speaking in jest, hence the comical premise and imagery which is a reversal of a common meme used to criticize capitalism.
Maybe. There's no real way to know anymore with all the batshit crazy opinions people genuinely hold.
I definitely get this, but sometimes I decide it must be meant as a joke because it’s easier to respect them as a person if it is
Sure, but on a platform with this many leftists, it wouldn't be upvoted if the message communicated wasn't this. They also almost certainly would not expect it to be a successful comment if this wasn't their intention as well.
Ok. Sometimes I don't bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.
