JK Rowling Blasts Woke Libs In Twitter Rant

The mother of Harry Potter floored liberals in a massive series of tweet on Twitter. Author J.K Rowling has stood her ground with her more liberal fans and declared enough is enough when it comes to the argument about gender and sexuality against women's rights.

Rowling took a page from a playwright by Czechoslovakian President Václav Havel in his 1978 essay The Power of the Powerless to describe the brutal drive for conformity in all things enforced by the communist Soviet Union in his homeland, and elsewhere across the Soviet bloc.

Now, it seems, Havel’s words are being once again used by dissenters, but this time against the modern woke push for conformity in the ostensibly liberal West.

In a Twitter thread responding to a post declaring that the statement “trans women are women” is being used to force biological women into bowing before the woke mob, author J.K. Rowling shared Havel’s parable of a greengrocer who hung up the Marxist creed “Workers of the World Unite” in his shop window in order to passively conform with the groupthink of the Soviet Union.

Rawling was responding to a post from Dr.M, a feminist activist, that read: "It feels like TWAW as a mantra and canceling women over accusations of transphobia was intended to test loyalty over reason and will she stand up to power or at best turn a blind eye to save her own skin. Does she value career advancement or doing the right thing?"

Rowling blasted back in 12 separate tweets that are compiled together for you below:

"The manager of a fruit and vegetable shop places in his window, among the onions and carrots, the slogan: ‘Workers of the World, Unite!’ Why does he do it?...Is he genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of unity among the workers of the world? Is his enthusiasm so great that he feels an irrepressible impulse to acquaint the public with his ideals? Has he really given more than a moment’s thought to how such a unification might occur and what it would mean?

That poster was delivered to our greengrocer from the enterprise headquarters along with the onions and carrots. He put them all into the window simply... because everyone does it, and because that is the way it has to be.

If he were to refuse, there could be trouble. He could be reproached for not having the proper ‘decoration’ in his window; someone might even accuse him of disloyalty. He does it because these things must be done if one is to get along in life. The slogan is really a sign, and as such it contains a subliminal but very definite message... ‘I, the greengrocer XY, live here and I know what I must do. I behave in the manner expected of me... I am obedient and therefore I have the right to be left in peace.’ If the greengrocer had been instructed to display the slogan, ‘I am afraid and therefore unquestioningly obedient’, he would not be nearly as indifferent to its semantics, even though the statement would reflect the truth.

The greengrocer would be embarrassed and ashamed to put such an unequivocal statement of his own degradation... To overcome this complication, his expression of loyalty must take the form of a sign. It must allow the greengrocer to say, ‘What’s wrong with the workers of the world uniting?’ Thus the sign helps the greengrocer to conceal from himself the low foundations of his obedience... It hides them behind the façade of something high... that something is ideology.

Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality while making it easier for them to part with them. It enables people to deceive their conscience and conceal their true position and their inglorious modus vivendi, both from the world and from themselves. It is an excuse that everyone can use, from the greengrocer, who conceals his fear of losing his job to the highest functionary... Individuals need not believe all these mystifications, but they must behave as though they did, or they must at least tolerate them in silence, or get along well with those who work with them.

For this reason, however, they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it."
