Ben Franklin literally said himself that public libraries and a well-informed public are essential for preventing future tyranny.

Respectfully, I couldn’t care less what Ben Franklin said. That’s not a compelling position. I would suggest that taxation, the mode for which these libraries largely exist and are funded, is tyranny. I think the market would deliver a superior product and variety of product, and more importantly it would be done through voluntary instead of coercive means

You’re the one making the claim. It’s on you to back it up but you block me and call me a name instead. So who’s the lazy one?
