The most deeply fucked up thing is that at this point, UK Blairites actually literally think "Jewish" and "white" are synonyms, like it's a spectrum and Anglo Christians are actually "kind of Jewish" (And Black people and Muslims and Black Muslims most of all are "anti-Jewish") https://twitter.com/_don_aman/status/1309115071470198786 …

See, people who hate JK Rowling hate "centrist melts" and "TERFs" because they're "Corbynites", and "Corbynites", as we all know thanks to the British media, are "antisemites" And that means that JK Rowling must be Jewish! Everything is totally fucking simple in Guardian-land!

This kind of thing has happened in the US too -- remember when Meghan McCain all of a sudden appointed herself some kind of judge over what was or wasn't "antisemitic" for a month -- but it hasn't TAKEN OVER and DOMINATED the discourse here like it has in the UK Fucking hell

JK Rowling having the fucking gall to talk shit about how Corbyn "smuggled antisemitism back into respectability" I think the popular children's book series with the inhuman carnival grotesques running an amoral central banking institution had a little more to do with that Jo
