        Learning to hate is easy. Everyone is doing it. Being a peaceful person is very rare.

          Hating evil and being peaceful are not mutually exclusive.

          Rowling does not deserve peace. She’s broken the social contract.

            She’s broken the agreement between the bourgeoisie and the state that the state will use violence to defend bourgeois privileges/rights in exchange for the bourgeoisie accepting certain obligations/civic duties?

            Didn’t that old thing get put out of its misery by Margaret Thatcher almost 50 years ago?

          Loving people without hating the ones that hurt them is worthless.

      It generally agrees with my views of Rowling, but is there anything beyond that single tweet to further flesh it out?

      She could easily back out of that statement by saying “the fever dream” she’s referring to is the assertion she backs Nazi gender theories / policy instead of that they don’t do that.

      I’m more apt to believe she’d deny it, but … skeptics and all.

        When others provided her with sources, she responded by linking to an anti-trans account calling the first transgender woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery in Germany to a "troubled male.” The thread in question also denied that transgender people were targeted by the Holocaust.

        Come on, it’s literally in the text
