FUCK CAPITALISM! This didn’t cost tax payers anything. You don’t need to be a governing body with a police force to do decent things.
THANK
Am I the only one super amused by how “One of the richest people ever did a cool thing” managed to become “FUCK CAPITALISM”? It’s like they don’t even try anymore.
I know that was a rhetorical question, but no you are not. (Some anti-capitalist types are also amused.)
(And those links aren’t even all the responses like that.)
I don’t care about debating the details of whether or not this is capitalism because definitional battles are uninteresting, but this is definitely liberty and the æsthetic. Now there are commons, publicly available for anyone, where there previously weren’t, and it didn’t take people with guns to make them.
inb4 special interests whining about how these free textbooks are evil and low-quality and how any college which doesn’t use their proprietary super expensive books is doing a serious disservice to their students and the state should probably step in to ban these things to protect jobs in the textbook industry…
