I grew up with these as an Xer, so I know what it was like trying to find a book with them. Modern library catalogs are so much nicer to use. But I’m still a huge fan of the Dewey Decimal System. And when you find a library that still stamps the due date in the books, it’s great seeing the last time someone has borrowed a book, especially if its been a long time, I borrowed one book of essays in grad school 2019, it was acquired in 1988 and I it felt great to be the first person to borrow it. The book wasn’t even one I was looking for but it was on the shelf beside the one I was after and it looked interesting, and it turned out to be great.

- Comment on Without saying "Cynic" or "Nihlist" what the perfect term to describe someone who views both Woke and Anti-Woke as completely flagrant pompous? 1 day ago:
I think in a lot of ways it’s the right that has made identity political and it works for them really really well especially in a binary political system. The right wing only has to be 1 thing to 1 group of people, while there are 100s of left wings and intersections.

I guess it depends on the scope of your question.
Woke, inclusivity, and all that stuff mean nothing if it is not backed up by actions, people can say all the right things and still be assholes, just as someone can live their life and do what they can to help others without ever getting political or having the theory or words to back it up.
I grew up as a late Xer, on the cusp of the Oregon Trail generation, George Carlin’s “don’t vote it only encourages them” made a lot of sense at the time when the choice seemed to be Neo-Liberalism or Conservative. We also saw our Boomer parents 70s activism turn to 80s greed and excess, so the tune out, do drugs grunge, goth, rave, and emo eras made sense.
I think it’s naive not to be somewhat cynical when every corporation puts out rainbow flags during Pride Week / month, and then do nothing the rest of the year, or when police decide they want to march in Pride Parades.
I think people also get caught up in false equivalents, that just because there is shit on one side, it doesn’t mean that the whole is shit. The side that is not as inclusive as it could be or might have some hateful members, but is overall will to learn and adapt, is not the same as the side that is hateful at its core. For example, I don’t understand TERFs, in some ways people that get called TERFs have done important work for the feminist movement, I believe some are coming from a position of misunderstanding. However, there are some on the right who have jumped on trans exclusion and call themselves feminists, which serves the right to sow divisions or the appearance of division within the left or those working towards inclusion.
