Don't worry, it's not as bad as the title suggests. It's obviously a bit of a problem, though. The attack on Internet Archive is far, far worse.

There is a group of people who have been systematically dismantling education, making access to information harder, and generally known to fuck shit up because they want to punish people who don't agree with them.

I got permabanned from Reddit for saying, about someone who destroyed a public library: "I wish we could bring back old-school stocks as punishment for whoever did this so the whole town could line up to throw rotten vegetables at them." Apperently, that's so radically violent that they had to permaban me.
