'J.K. Rowling Returns to Twitter and Calls Out Fake Propaganda'

She hints at early warning signs of a rising totalitarian regime

...Arendt's final section describes the mechanics of the rise of totalitarian governments. These elements include turning the “classes into masses”, the creation of propaganda, and the use of terror — all which we are seeing play out through online cancel culture and the harassment of feminists.

A feminist Oxford professor has even recently had to be issued bodyguards to attend her lectures after death threats against her were found by the university to be credible. The threats were made by trans activists after Professor Selena Todd, a historian focusing on working-class women, stated that some demands by trans activists harm the rights of women.

Todd is not the only one to receive death threats. In response to her latest tweet, multiple commenters posted pictures of guns, telling her to shut up. The “or else” is implied.

J.K.’s call out of the propaganda used against her (and, indeed, against all genuine feminists) should be taken seriously — not just because libel is illegal or because lying may be morally wrong, but because the very belief of the lie itself is a symptom of a very sick society, and a warning of greater evils to come.

1. very glad to see this

i broke my wrist yesterday so my pontificating is reduced to hunt and peck

but i am reading and learning more about these issues - and though timid - realize that women need to become more aware, brave - and active

2. I don't agree with Twitter mobs / death threats.

That’s way over the line. However, I also believe J. K. Rowling is 100% wrong with her stance on transgender people.
