JKR accused of 'quoting hitler'

Within the context of condemning political violence following the murder of Charlie Kirk, she quoted on X a line from Mein Kampf where Hitler talked about how he utilised political violence for his own gain. This was a clear statement in how allowing for political violence against one's rivals can lead to that in power manipulating things in order to harm others.

Unfortunately, articles are springing up across the internet shaming JKR for quoting or referring to this text at all, with many condemning her for 'nazi' views and accusing her of being far right.

(Personally I love JK, and it is such a shame that every single thing she says is twisted to mean the opposite of what she's actually saying!)

I agree but these two posts in close proximity are quite funny

I've realised recently that hardcore lefties don't actually listen to other people's views if they differ from their own. It's like they're sticking their fingers in their ears saying bla bla bla like a petulant child.
A Facebook friend recently started a rant about 'thick bastards', too stupid to write their own name' etc because they have differing political viewpoints to her. She ranted at anyone who tried to offer her an alternative viewpoint. This I feel is the same as those advise trans rights over women's rights. It's like they feel morally superior because 'be kind' bullshit.

Exactly! Her post condemning Hitler has somehow been twisted into her being a nazi. I don't even follow these people's logic.

Show quote history

The logic goes "I want JK Rowling to shut up and go away and I want everyone to hate her like I do and I'll spend hours finding ways to misread what she says to prove she is a bad person. It doesn't matter whether I even believe my own bad faith interpreration or not, because I have right on my side and she doesn't so anything I say or do in service of that is good and valid."

Wasn’t she actually using the quote to suggest that anyone advocating violence is similar to Hitler? She was hardly endorsing it — the very reverse!

Aren’t all these people just extremely bad at reading comprehension and understanding? It is a pretty idiotic reading of the tweet not to realise it was suggesting that they are like Hitler, not that she is.
