It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

She wasn't even that rich. Her parents appear to be academics that got lucky with some investments a long time ago, and she was a social worker and teacher at some point.

Of all the terrible things the rich do with money, collecting a massive and very specific type of book is the least terrible. It seems like all these are heading to a library too, which is cool.

Yeah, we aren't ascetic monks. We are all entitled to the small things that make us happy, as long as it doesn't hurt those around us. This sounds like a relatively harmless hobby, and the fact that she didn't collect to auction off the books later show that she wasn't really looking to profit off this, and it's being worked on to be come public property now? This is a great example of how a socialist society should treat the personal property of certain collections after the owners death.
