J.K. Rowling is not taking it lying down
« on: February 14, 2023, 02:29:55 PM »
As Stephen Miller says, “Having ‘f**k you’ money means you don’t just have to play defense.” She’s decided to sue for defamation and libel, and the laws in Great Britain are far more punitive than here in the states. Regardless of what we all think about the intrinsic value of free speech, in the UK, you don’t get to call someone a Nazi unless they’re a Nazi.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Good for her!  She's taken more than enough sh*te from the Left!

Yup. I’m no great fan of her (very liberal) or her work (Harry Potter). But she is on the front line, standing in the gap against the tranny wokesters trying to force everyone to play make believe along with their mental disorder. I’ll take her as an ally in that regard.

I find lots of irony, beyond the principals involved...chief among peers is the fact that as dystopian as UK society has been made said dystopia has given an opportunity to punish one of the ones responsible for said dystopia...

But I fear it will only slightly moderate the hate-speech of the degenerate ranks not curtail it...
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

Yup (as you say), ya take 'em where you can get 'em today, however marginal.

And, paraphrasing what Libertas wrote, it's only fitting that Rowling helped to generate the alligator that now comes for her.
