It’s incredibly sad to see threat actors attack something as altruistic as an internet library. Truly demoralizing to see such degeneracy.

When there are plenty of people who are steeped in the dogma of Imaginary Property, and whose lives depend on it, it's not too surprising.

FYI: "Money" is imaginary property. Not sure you want to call people supporting "imaginary property" dogmatic. It's what our society is built on.

Money is not imaginary. You can touch and interact with it.

That's like saying movies aren't imaginary either because there's blu-rays. Even if we take that point at face value though, the vast majority of money is imaginary, only existing on ledgers. When the fed "prints money", it's just adjusting an entry on a database somewhere.

It's paper and ink that we've given a perceived value to.

The vast majority of money is not physical, by likely 2 orders of magnitude, so you cannot touch it. It's a value in a ledger that can be moved electronically (or copied by hand).
