2000's: "Harry Potter is Satanic, Our Shuffling, Mindless Activism is Just" 2020's: "JK Rowling is Transphobic, Our Shuffling, Mindless Activism is Just"
Ahhhhhh, back when the right was the moral guardians. 2 people died in abortion clinic bombings, and I think that was the total death toll for the era-like 25 years.
I like how they try to use their failure to cancel Rowling as proof that they're right. "Despite our best efforts we were unable to cancel an extremely popular billionaire, therefore cancel culture doesn't exist"
JK Rowling: Actually Hermoine was black and Dumbledoor was gay. Woke SJW: YEeeeeaah, here we go, that's our sister right there! JK Rowling: I think the term for humans that menstruate is a woman. Woke SJW: REEEEEEE, transphobe, transphobe,transphobe!!!! istaphobe, transphobe!
A friend made their daughter burn all of her harry potter books, blu-ray and toys. The girl is 15, and had been a big harry potter fan since she was a young kid. They even burned pictures of her wearing a harry potter halloween costume when she was 7. These people are insane.
These people can't create. Always looking for something or someone to blame for their own inadequacies. They destroy everything that they touch. Also, ask them to back up their accusations, then stand back and watch them launch into the usual childish insults and name calling.
@@andrewhoult5178 it's always vague accusations about Rowling. Mostly "she doesn't care about trans people". Her parents are swingers, her mom is in a thrupple and she's well aware of it all. I don't think she buys in to it, but it's hard when it's your parents that are acting out.
SJW: You're a conservative? You must be a science denier and think the Earth is flat. Conservative: At least I know the difference between men and women. SJW: HATE SPEECH! REEEEEE!
I should totally just force my left wing friends to give up Harry Potter by saying I can't believe you would support that transphobe. Just so they have to give up something they like to
@@balls4992 Haven't seen many examples of that as of late. I don'g unperson friends with left wing views. But they get rid of me because my views are "problematic" according to them.

Well, on the parents side, they are scared their children will commit suicide, cause that is the narrative they keep getting. Most mothers (and fathers) don't want their children to do this. But they feel like they have to. Or their children do it secretly. In Canada, it's possible children could be taken from their parents if their parents don't affirm their gender identity.
This is funny AF. One of my cousins is trans and she/ they (i guess), loves Harry Potter. From what I've gathered she doesn't give a toss about what jk said.
Maybe you should have a long hard talk with your cousin about how traditional gender roles are a good thing, and about how high the trans suicide rate is.
@@GrimgoreIronhide yeah, that's not a good idea. My partner is trans and dysphoria isnt something he can just ignore. It is a genuine thing but these trans activists just make it worse for trans people. We need to be able to talk about it so we can understand it better. My partner said if he could get a "cure" and be comfortable living as a female he would be happy for it. But then again he's actually trans and not one of these trans trender activists.
I taught my daughter to read voicing out loud the Harry Potter books with her. Some of the best memories of my life. I am very thankful for JK Rowling . Fight the good fight
I remember an interview with Jordan Peterson where he stated that every time SJWs came for him either online or in public, the amount of donations he received on Patreon would double. I responded to all this madness last year by buying all the Cormoran Strike novels (they are f**king amazing) bought my mum the illustrated Harry Potter books as well as the original book series for my niece.
Yeah lately every time I see someone getting their 'thing' cancelled over this Twitter BS I'm immediately inclined to buy their stuff and support them.
I'm so torn. I don't like JK because she's an SJW. But I don't her being cancelled over reasonable statements, i.e. girls are girls. But I don't want this TV series to happen, because they are _just_ going to ruin it. Basically, I'm not going to be happy _no matter_ what happens.
Harry Potter has sold 500 million books. Twitter alone, if we assume everyone on the platform is a Harry Potter fan, is made up of about 330 million users. That metric alone is telling. This isn’t to mention movie only fans, fans make multiple purchases across the franchise (book, tickets, merchandise, etc.). It’s REALLY difficult to say, but I think the Harry Potter IP will survive enraging the 12 and a half transitioned people on Twitter who have the free time to care this much. EDIT: Rowlings is also not anti-trans. She’s against the idea of destroying the definition of “woman.” Shes again and again espoused support for the trans community. The fact Twitter radicals think her position excludes her from supporting them just shows how absolutely polarized their extremism is.
Hell, I don't agree with Jo Rowling on a number of issues, not least of which is Brexit where she jumped on the "you're all bigots and racists" train. I find her overly preachy and ironically a mirror image of Trump in many ways when it comes to twitter, but I can't imagine spending one moment trying to influence others to shun her. There's something creepily authoritarian about cancel-culture that just wants the entire world to conform to their preferences.
It's funny how hard they are going after JK Rowling. She spent her life doing as much pandering as possible to them, but one time she disagrees and they need to cancel her.
Warner Bros doesn't need Harry Potter. All that happened was after the movies came to an end in 2011, they tried to move on with crappy cinematic universes and then brought the franchise back in the form of a prequel. Warner Bros can keep afloat juuuust fine without Harry Potter.

"... Harry Potter series was beloved because it preached messages of tolerance and inclusivity ..." NO! the Harry Potter series was beloved because it was ENTERTAINING.
i remember in a attack against the Right and Trump, JK said she was against seperation and against walls and stuff, using her own books as a example. Someone on twitter replied "but you use a wall to separate muggles from the wizarding world" JK told them to grow up.
I remember I was enjoying HP books and tried to ignore every additional informaton JKR was spewing about characters/events/etc. because it was spoiling the fun for me.
Regardless of JK's opinions, on anything, she is the creator of the HP universe and has her rights to her own creation. Even if I completely disagreed with JK (which I don't, she can think what she wants, you go girl its literally your right) I would fight for her to keep her rights as the HP creator.
J.K. brought this on herself by dancing with these nut-jobs in the first place. You reap as you sew, J.K. Anyway, if people on Twitter are deeply offended then I would take it as a compliment. Big!

"Do my trans family members mean nothing to you?" No! Nor do your cis or straight family members, for that matter. What an absolutely childish question to ask. This individual has been around long enough to reach adulthood and they _still_ haven't figured out the basic reality that LITERALLY NOBODY outside their immediate group of friends and family gives even the slightest toss about them, least of all entertainment brands like WB? Pathetic. Talk about pure solipsism, these folks seem to think they are literally the main characters of the universe.
JK Rowling doesn't need to respond to any trolls in the least. She can sit on her hands and ignore everything on twitter. Her brand has huge momentum and her audience could care less about flame wars on social media. The offended are blue haired lesbians who do not influence her market.
Does anyone remember a time when it was very uncommon for corporations to give a shit about what _any_ group of activists had to say? When "activist" wasn't a lucrative career path? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
God forbid she says trans women aren't women. Trans women are trans women, not women. There's a very obvious difference to anyone with a functioning brain.
These activist types have lost any sense of proportion and perspective. Even a minor affront - real or perceived - to their idea of how the world should work, sends them into an unglued rage accompanied by floods of tears.
Ngl, I'm kinda dissapointed... That the TV series is live action and not wester animated series or anime. You can do SO much more with animation, and live action is limiting.
JKR put the brakes on her involvement in the transgender debate because she could see where it was heading. So far, her critics have proved her right but they are so demented they cannot see it.
Im going to enjoy watching every minute of it ^^ America's divorce they say gets stranger every minute - the left got Nascar and the right got Harry Potter
Worth noting that JK is undoubtedly making millions off of the merchandise sales of Harry Potter alone. The amount of toys and clothes I packed over Christmas was absurd. So she doesn’t need the money. Cancelling the show won’t hurt her, it only denies the fans what they presumably want. Also, note that all the people kicking up a stink are all the people who won’t watch. If you don’t watch it, then why must no one else watch it? What kind of power trip are these people on?
I'm a female & I'm the age as her. No one should deny her admiration & respect for how in depth she created the Harry potter novels. The woldbuilding is so through & detailed. It's so complete, it's close to perfect. I read the books with my children, we enjoyed the.movies. Im amazed with the complexity of the stories. How was she able to think up all of the information that she created. I have always been awe after reading & considering how much work she put into the stories. She's a great,& gifted creative writer. It's obvious that she put everything she was into her work. The effect her stories had on the children, never before ¬ since last book was release have so many children come together& celebrated how much they enjoyed reading her stories. And sharing their thought & feelings. Children that didn't like to read, couldn't put her book down.she captured something magical & put it into the stories. I'm thankful for the stories that she created & I hope she knows how much she's loved. I know that so.e people are offended because she defined a woman that lost her job for stating on the internet that sexual identity is biological. How is that statement wrong? And she started on line that woman menastrate. How is that wrong? I don't believe that she's transphobic. Some people are easily offended, & if they're also feel entitled , often they overreact & become determined to be vengeful & was to hurt that person,& not stop until they have caused some much damage that they have exposed how cruel & evil they are over different opinions. Which anyone has that right. And no should abuse someone for having different opinions.
Reading the various articles and comments in the podcast above and what really comes through for me is that these are people who are indeed bitter, bitter.... and frustrated. Immensely frustrated. Here is a woman who has proven to be well beyond their reach, they can howl and rage but she is all but untouchable, and they are beneath her. In a way it is like watching a bunch of unruly kids hissing and stamping their feet because mummy isn't having any nonsense and isn't indulging their pettiness and demands. And so they fester and broil in their own juices online, reduced to this as Rowling is so powerful and unyielding they are reduced to being nobodies.... desperately wanting to be somebody, but reduced to nothing because they simply have no power at all against this Woman. I do wish they had the capacity to take three steps back, see what it is they are spouting forth, and have it sink in how bitter and twisted they are.
The books DO stand in stark contrast to Rowlings stated beliefs.... on immigration and diversity. The good guys are a society based on a meritocracy where anyone who doesn't have the talent doesn't get through the barriers. It's basically a paralell society set up to avoid meaningful contact with people not like themselves. Yes I am a potter fan. I have been for years and I remained one even when Rowling had opinions about immigration I don't like. I enjoyed mocking her hypocritical "pro migrant but not in my mansions" stance but I never once wanted her cancelled. I never stopped watching her movies or whatever. Eventually she had opinions I did agree with and that does make me happy to know that this talented person isn't totally insane but even if she were.... it wouldn't ruin the work itself.
Despite the Trans lobby, JK Rowling can't be cancelled unless society at large is willing to do away with its complete obsession with the Harry Potter franchise. she owns the overall control of everything relating to the franchise, for better or worse. i doubt that even Jeff Bezos could afford to buy them from her.
73 degrees Celsius? That's very hot. But even still, houses in England were built to retain heat and we don't have air cons and aren't use to the heat soooo
I never understood the controversy. JK Rowling is clearly pro-trans. She wrote an entire book about them, no? "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" I think it was called.
If anything Harry Potter gets cancelled due to these losers, and lunatics... I hope J.K. Rowling makes her own channel, and hosts all her Harry Potter things on it, I would buy or, subscribe to it period.
@@WillWatches Do you not realize how ridiculous your statement is? Anyone can take offense for anything. Basically, what you said is you can have an opinion as long as you agree with me. Pathetic 🙄
@@entropy5431 I don’t just mean offence, words and opinions can lead to action You can have an opinion, but if voicing that opinion radicalises people and causes violence it’s a problem, we saw this exact thing happen at the insurrection at the capital building when trump voiced his “opinion” that the election was rigged
@@entropy5431 lol what? What does BLM or Antifa have to do with it? Her reputation as mild mannered makes it worse though, she spreading dangerous misinformation but because she is perceived as educated people just agree with it
Sargon, saw a vid of you visiting Orlando. in AUGUST. Complaining about the Orlando heat in summer is like b*tching about the chill of visiting the Scottish highlands in late January.
You can separate the art from the artist. I love _Rock and Roll Part II_ but I think Gary Glitter is a monster. It’s all part of the fact that in life, not everything is a bunch of roses.
For reference, Magdelene Vissagio is an extremist trans activist, who had like 3 writing credits to their name before transitioning, and get a new SERIES about every 3 weeks post. Maybe 1 of those books was any good?
I don’t know about HBO giving JK Rowling a platform, but her success is giving these failures a platform. Without people like Rowling we would never hear of these nobody’s. in fact I can’t remember any of their names
From what I remember all Rowling essentially said was that she respects others identity, but she feels like being a women is becoming meaningless. That she has had experiences that people ignore. Yes I know it has nothing to do with what you commented. But my friends all call her some ist now and it’s like what? Did you read what she said?
@@baconboi4482 if someone disagrees with a writer/ actor/ star’s opinion that’s fine. I find myself disagreeing with many of their supposed and I must stress supposed views, but I still deeply respect them as actors/ writers etc.. I couldn’t do it. I’m a nobody to them when it comes to those activities. I would never want them deplatformed merely because I disagree with their opinion
I think the biggest problem we have currently is that businesses are taking anything that appears on twitter seriously and they adjust their marketing et al to the mob which is less than 5% of the market. Politics too is going down the same route and it's quite terrifying that 5% minority has so much say in daily lives
"She Uses Her Money to Hurt the Most Vulnerable People In our Society" ---------- Really? The Most Vulnerable....? Let's put aside the charity work Ms Rowling has devoted much time and finance to and instead consider the implications of that statement.... Consider the world around you. The _Real_ world. The streets you walk down and the town you live in, and the people living in it. In my town homelessness has absolutely exploded in the last several years, with people sleeping rough in the town centre I see sights that I haven't seen since the early 1980s. People with nothing but the clothes on their backs and what they carry, and they need money from whoever is kind enough, compassionate enough, to offer it... they beg for your generosity on the day. Everyday problems and fears nearly everyone worries about include how secure our jobs are, especially these days. Many many people worry about debt, about the real possibility of eviction from their house leaving their family homeless. Health is another widespread concern, particularly at the moment. There is so much everyday worry out there, problems that touch most people, but any wander online and the main topics are either the BLM movement or... Trans-Rights. Trans-rights. A marginal issue, affecting such an incredibly _small_ minority in the scheme of things. And yet thanks to social media crusades and trends we have a generation that have become fixated and obsessed with it to the point it often feels like they have been indoctrinated into a Cult, left uttering mantra's representing that cult's one-note mentality. A hive-mind way of thinking and seeing the world, with Transgender being the predominant concern, because there IS no other concern in their cult thinking. These are people who live online, on Social Media, on their phones, in University or college habitats, typically young people, who have no real life experience as yet and, unlike many adults, have not much to really worry about, not yet. Someday they will. Someday they will worry about a regular Job, income, keeping a roof over their heads, Family illnesses, all of this very immediate and real. And everyday. These are *Real* Problems. On day they will face them, as their parents did, as their neighbours do..... And then, with age, perhaps comes wisdom. Perspective. They will have entered the real world, and understand what is and is not really important. I hope.

The love of Harry Potter far exceeds all SJW nonsense.
Thank you for pointing out that the most vulnerable members of society are still children!
"Do my trans family members mean nothing to you?" No! Nor do your cis or straight family members, for that matter. What an absolutely childish question to ask. This individual has been around long enough to reach adulthood and they _still_ haven't figured out the basic reality that LITERALLY NOBODY outside their immediate group of friends and family gives even the slightest toss about them, least of all entertainment brands like WB? Pathetic. Talk about pure solipsism, these folks seem to think they are literally the main characters of the universe.

JK Rowling doesn't need to respond to any trolls in the least. She can sit on her hands and ignore everything on twitter. Her brand has huge momentum and her audience could care less about flame wars on social media. The offended are blue haired lesbians who do not influence her market.
"Fans are divided" - no they're not.
"We need to talk about" - no we don't
Next!
JK Rowling isn't cancelled but that's purely because they can't cancel her. They're damn well trying though.
Cancel Twitter.
11:42 “How do you feel with the heat?” Bane voice: We were born in the heat. Molded by it.
The world needs to stop enabling stupid people who need psychological help, to 'cancel' people who say something they don't like!!!!
why this obsession with trans people? why is Twitter the center of the universe now?
Does anyone remember a time when it was very uncommon for corporations to give a shit about what _any_ group of activists had to say? When "activist" wasn't a lucrative career path?
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
"I don't understand why Floridians live there."
Cuz we have sunlight.

God forbid she says trans women aren't women. Trans women are trans women, not women. There's a very obvious difference to anyone with a functioning brain.
These activist types have lost any sense of proportion and perspective. Even a minor affront - real or perceived - to their idea of how the world should work, sends them into an unglued rage accompanied by floods of tears.
Ngl, I'm kinda dissapointed...
That the TV series is live action and not wester animated series or anime.
You can do SO much more with animation, and live action is limiting.
Thanks for speaking about this when most women cannot or risk being fired/ostravized/threatened ect.
Can we cancel Radcliffe instead? I hope he gets no more potter roles.
JKR put the brakes on her involvement in the transgender debate because she could see where it was heading. So far, her critics have proved her right but they are so demented they cannot see it.
They're "fans" in the same way that "fans" asked for a gender swapped Luke Skywalker, in a retelling of a new hope for the sequel trilogy.
Cant we just go back to leaving politics out of everything
Those days are long gone

Im going to enjoy watching every minute of it ^^ America's divorce they say gets stranger every minute - the left got Nascar and the right got Harry Potter
Worth noting that JK is undoubtedly making millions off of the merchandise sales of Harry Potter alone. The amount of toys and clothes I packed over Christmas was absurd. So she doesn’t need the money. Cancelling the show won’t hurt her, it only denies the fans what they presumably want.
Also, note that all the people kicking up a stink are all the people who won’t watch. If you don’t watch it, then why must no one else watch it? What kind of power trip are these people on?
I would argue that harry potter showed that intolerance is a part of reality and while it is wrong taking action against them is wrong as well.
The music coming in was timed wonderfully! 😂
I have said it before and I will say it again. She is not anti-trans in any way and people that think so should get their IQ checked.
I hope they do make this show and it gets 100x the ratings as garbage like batwoman.
Thank you so much for making this video. What a relief to hear some sensible people talking about this insane ridiculous topic
I'm a female & I'm the age as her.
No one should deny her admiration & respect for how in depth she created the Harry potter novels. The woldbuilding is so through & detailed. It's so complete, it's close to perfect. I read the books with my children, we enjoyed the.movies.
Im amazed with the complexity of the stories. How was she able to think up all of the information that she created. I have always been awe after reading & considering how much work she put into the stories. She's a great,& gifted creative writer. It's obvious that she put everything she was into her work.
The effect her stories had on the children, never before ¬ since last book was release have so many children come together& celebrated how much they enjoyed reading her stories. And sharing their thought & feelings. Children that didn't like to read, couldn't put her book down.she captured something magical & put it into the stories. I'm thankful for the stories that she created & I hope she knows how much she's loved. I know that so.e people are offended because she defined a woman that lost her job for stating on the internet that sexual identity is biological. How is that statement wrong? And she started on line that woman menastrate. How is that wrong? I don't believe that she's transphobic. Some people are easily offended, & if they're also feel entitled , often they overreact & become determined to be vengeful & was to hurt that person,& not stop until they have caused some much damage that they have exposed how cruel & evil they are over different opinions. Which anyone has that right. And no should abuse someone for having different opinions.
I think it is an indulgence not a tithe.
If you remove JK’s royalty’s, then that means we can take away EVERYONES Royalty’s...
Would the snowflakes like that?
Probably no.

10:44 'Thousands of feelings have been hurt.' Perfectly sums up where we are in 2021.
Reading the various articles and comments in the podcast above and what really comes through for me is that these are people who are indeed bitter, bitter.... and frustrated. Immensely frustrated.
Here is a woman who has proven to be well beyond their reach, they can howl and rage but she is all but untouchable, and they are beneath her.
In a way it is like watching a bunch of unruly kids hissing and stamping their feet because mummy isn't having any nonsense and isn't indulging their pettiness and demands. And so they fester and broil in their own juices online, reduced to this as Rowling is so powerful and unyielding they are reduced to being nobodies.... desperately wanting to be somebody, but reduced to nothing because they simply have no power at all against this Woman.
I do wish they had the capacity to take three steps back, see what it is they are spouting forth, and have it sink in how bitter and twisted they are.
The books DO stand in stark contrast to Rowlings stated beliefs.... on immigration and diversity. The good guys are a society based on a meritocracy where anyone who doesn't have the talent doesn't get through the barriers. It's basically a paralell society set up to avoid meaningful contact with people not like themselves.
Yes I am a potter fan. I have been for years and I remained one even when Rowling had opinions about immigration I don't like. I enjoyed mocking her hypocritical "pro migrant but not in my mansions" stance but I never once wanted her cancelled. I never stopped watching her movies or whatever. Eventually she had opinions I did agree with and that does make me happy to know that this talented person isn't totally insane but even if she were.... it wouldn't ruin the work itself.
J.K. Rowling obviously got some excellent business legal advice...
Despite the Trans lobby, JK Rowling can't be cancelled unless society at large is willing to do away with its complete obsession with the Harry Potter franchise. she owns the overall control of everything relating to the franchise, for better or worse. i doubt that even Jeff Bezos could afford to buy them from her.
Y'all English think 73 degrees is a heatwave, here we call that "Winter."
73 degrees Celsius? That's very hot. But even still, houses in England were built to retain heat and we don't have air cons and aren't use to the heat soooo
Can we call it childish culture?
Children and families dont check twitter before they watch thier favourites on telly..
As a gay man, I would like to note that I have not "had it" with J.K. Rowling. Except for any feminist nonsense she may espouse.
I never understood the controversy. JK Rowling is clearly pro-trans. She wrote an entire book about them, no? "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" I think it was called.
Sometimes when people speak they say more about themselves than they say about others.
If Rowling weren't worth a billion I'd have an easier time believing people actually didn't want to give her more money.
If anything Harry Potter gets cancelled due to these losers, and lunatics... I hope J.K. Rowling makes her own channel, and hosts all her Harry Potter things on it, I would buy or, subscribe to it period.
She has a right not to like certain people and what they are and do
Totally assumed the music kicking in was intentional - make that a thing!
Also, Rowling gave away a large chunk of her wealth to charity.
The absolute bigot
She writes fiction so nothing to worry about in her books. As far as her personal opinions in tweets are... She is entitled to her opinions.
You’re allowed opinions, untill they harm others
@@WillWatches Do you not realize how ridiculous your statement is? Anyone can take offense for anything. Basically, what you said is you can have an opinion as long as you agree with me. Pathetic 🙄
@@entropy5431 I don’t just mean offence, words and opinions can lead to action
You can have an opinion, but if voicing that opinion radicalises people and causes violence it’s a problem, we saw this exact thing happen at the insurrection at the capital building when trump voiced his “opinion” that the election was rigged
@@WillWatches BLM and Antifa as compared to a mild mannered novelist. The former has seen the USA burn for 6 months and the other?
@@entropy5431 lol what? What does BLM or Antifa have to do with it? Her reputation as mild mannered makes it worse though, she spreading dangerous misinformation but because she is perceived as educated people just agree with it
Let the market decide, and I guarantee that Rowling wins.
Sargon, saw a vid of you visiting Orlando. in AUGUST. Complaining about the Orlando heat in summer is like b*tching about the chill of visiting the Scottish highlands in late January.
You can separate the art from the artist.
I love _Rock and Roll Part II_ but I think Gary Glitter is a monster. It’s all part of the fact that in life, not everything is a bunch of roses.
Stuff like this really angers me! I bloody hate Rowling, and now I have to fucking defend her.
Jarret is from Netflix eh? Ask him if transphobia is worse than promoting paedophilia.
For reference, Magdelene Vissagio is an extremist trans activist, who had like 3 writing credits to their name before transitioning, and get a new SERIES about every 3 weeks post. Maybe 1 of those books was any good?
I don’t know about HBO giving JK Rowling a platform, but her success is giving these failures a platform. Without people like Rowling we would never hear of these nobody’s. in fact I can’t remember any of their names
From what I remember all Rowling essentially said was that she respects others identity, but she feels like being a women is becoming meaningless. That she has had experiences that people ignore. Yes I know it has nothing to do with what you commented. But my friends all call her some ist now and it’s like what? Did you read what she said?
@@baconboi4482 if someone disagrees with a writer/ actor/ star’s opinion that’s fine. I find myself disagreeing with many of their supposed and I must stress supposed views, but I still deeply respect them as actors/ writers etc.. I couldn’t do it. I’m a nobody to them when it comes to those activities. I would never want them deplatformed merely because I disagree with their opinion
I think the biggest problem we have currently is that businesses are taking anything that appears on twitter seriously and they adjust their marketing et al to the mob which is less than 5% of the market. Politics too is going down the same route and it's quite terrifying that 5% minority has so much say in daily lives
"She Uses Her Money to Hurt the Most Vulnerable People In our Society"
----------
Really? The Most Vulnerable....? Let's put aside the charity work Ms Rowling has devoted much time and finance to and instead consider the implications of that statement....
Consider the world around you. The _Real_ world. The streets you walk down and the town you live in, and the people living in it.
In my town homelessness has absolutely exploded in the last several years, with people sleeping rough in the town centre I see sights that I haven't seen since the early 1980s. People with nothing but the clothes on their backs and what they carry, and they need money from whoever is kind enough, compassionate enough, to offer it... they beg for your generosity on the day.
Everyday problems and fears nearly everyone worries about include how secure our jobs are, especially these days. Many many people worry about debt, about the real possibility of eviction from their house leaving their family homeless. Health is another widespread concern, particularly at the moment. There is so much everyday worry out there, problems that touch most people, but any wander online and the main topics are either the BLM movement or... Trans-Rights.
Trans-rights. A marginal issue, affecting such an incredibly _small_ minority in the scheme of things. And yet thanks to social media crusades and trends we have a generation that have become fixated and obsessed with it to the point it often feels like they have been indoctrinated into a Cult, left uttering mantra's representing that cult's one-note mentality. A hive-mind way of thinking and seeing the world, with Transgender being the predominant concern, because there IS no other concern in their cult thinking.
These are people who live online, on Social Media, on their phones, in University or college habitats, typically young people, who have no real life experience as yet and, unlike many adults, have not much to really worry about, not yet. Someday they will. Someday they will worry about a regular Job, income, keeping a roof over their heads, Family illnesses, all of this very immediate and real. And everyday. These are *Real* Problems.
On day they will face them, as their parents did, as their neighbours do.....
And then, with age, perhaps comes wisdom. Perspective.
They will have entered the real world, and understand what is and is not really important.
I hope.
I'm confused: there are people out there further left than jk rowling?
