Rowling Makes a Stand

[JadeLeader]

Ok, so I know the educated classes hate us and our Dear Leader, but she's really not doing herself any favours here...

I hope you are also campaigning for every Bond film ever to be banned. And pretty much every other Hollywood Action movie to be banned too.

Let's just ban everything and become like the Puritans of the 1600s where music and art is ungodly and all joy is not regarded as acceptable because all effort much better devoted to the worship of god. Except in your case it's trans religion where we must just all shit on JKR for every conceivable reason whether it's remotely deliberate or just complete and utter bollox.

We all know JKR is responsible for the deaths of all tran people now, in the past and in the future. And lots of other people too because she is so full of hate.

We get it. You hate JKR and many want to kill her and have said that outright. And there lies the irony.

As far as Jon Stewart goes, he's a lot cleverer than you think. The visuals speak for themselves AND he knows that. It's a cunning way to draw attention to something but not be open to JK Rowlings lawyers.

Oh bloody hell Baldrick. A cunning plan??

The goblins are depicted as the sole operators of the wizarding world’s underground economy and banking system. As well as the visual caricature of 'banker" this mirrors the antisemitic stereotype of Jews secretly controlling global finance and banking as well as primarily valuing wealth and fiercely loyalty to their own kind.

Bangs head on wall.

Dull. Gosh.

Imagine life where you didn't have to purity spiral and could be a normal human being who wasn't so fucking desperate to prove how virtuous you are.

You know entertainment, fantasy and fun. Where things really don't have hidden meanings and the world doesn't take itself overly seriously and you can escape the bullshit of the real world.

Except the goblins don't control any of the Wizarding World finance. They just, literally, operate the physical building where people keep their valuables. That's it, nothing more. They don't have their own gold, and they don't control what people do with their gold, whether secretly or openly.

Also, they absolutely do NOT value wealth. They just don't.

As for the loyalty to their own kind: I would expect you to understand it better than anyone else, seeing as the goblins are severely oppressed in the WW...

Well well well, just lookee here at who thinks maintaining damaging stereotypes isn't a problem….unless it's related trans people of course.

'But but but the hook nosed jewish bankers who control everything & stick together are reeeeeally good at it!

... Are you all right?

Misty comic. Just saying. (JKR was a bit too old for it, but she may have read the odd copy all the same).

Emily is hoping by setting fire to the thread with all sorts of trite nonsense, we will all forget Emily thought the Nazis won Stalingrad.

We won’t.

If JKR was an antisemite, she would be going hammer and tongs against Israel all over TwiX.
She isn't.

TalcumX has even had a go at her for her failure to get in line.

ETA, You can criticise Israel without being antisemitic about it. But many of the people who criticise Israel parrot antisemitic tropes and elect to focus on the world's one Jewish state to the exclusion of other wars and horrors currently underway.

It was well known that Ernest Rohm , for one, was homosexual and openly so; and he and other SS officers frequented brothels and sex clubs in Berlin. The Nazis, additionally, created hundreds of brothels to 'service' their members, including in the concentration camps.

I’m convinced no TRA ever reads past the first chapter of any book.

The goblins in Harry Potter are magical creatures who have been repressed by wizards for centuries. For example they are not allowed wands, and wizards keep goblin made treasure that they are not entitled to by goblin tradition. There are periodic unsuccessful goblin rebellions against wizards. There is a statue in the Ministry of Magic depicting magical creatures, including goblins gazing adoringly at their wizard leader.

None of this parallels anti semitic Jewish global conspiracy theories.

I see Emily's been consulting his Ladybird Book Of Debate again

Which was a (possibly the) reason Rohm was killed in the 1934 purge.

No; his homosexuality was tolerated by Hitler until the SA, which Röhm led, was viewed as too powerful. At which time it was used as an excuse to eliminate him.

Of course we now need the song. Thanks for that, its a terrible earworm.

It's instructive to see how often the misogyny of TRAs is paired with racism, including anti-semitism. Truly disgusting.

Personally tolerated by Hitler. A useful way to convince the German public that killing him was justified - not need to debate his politics, he was a bad person because of his sexuality. By 1934 the hedonism and tolerance (as some see it) of Weimar Germany was being projected as part of a past that must be rejected, at least in the official media.

SAYS THE PERSON IMPOSING GENDER STEREOTYPES TO REPLACE SEX.

LIKE SERIOUSLY.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

MEN NEVER EVER CAN BECOME WOMEN.

Yeah, it's really weird when TRAs mention gender stereotypes as being a bad thing, since their entire trans business relies on them. "A man is a woman because he lives as a woman, ie. fulfills (carefully selected) female gender stereotypes." You'd think they'd want to stay as far away from that topic as possible.

Or an attempt at long lost relevance again?

This delusion will never not be funny

Quite a lot of head-desk interfacing going on, regarding Emile's posts! It's as if we've travelled back in time.

For what it's worth, a couple of sticks of celery added to clear soup, along with an onion (both to be discarded when the chicken / meat is cooked) is blimming ace, by the way.

Surely a decent leek would give a similar flavour AND wouldn't have to be discarded? (Can't eat onions but never cooked celery).

Here's a suggestion for you, OP. Go away and read Antony Beevor's Stalingrad, which recounts the whole battle of Stalingrad over 544 pages, ending with a victory for the Soviets.

Then, having read it, read it again.

Keep reading it until you've understood it.

You can come back when you have finally grasped that the gender-critical people, in Rowling's analogy, are the victorious Russians, not the Germans.
