This makes NO FUCKING SENSE, and to someone outside their specific cultural milieu it's OBVIOUS how it makes no fucking sense But these white suburban Brits are so incredibly fucking narcissistic they can center *any* discourse around themselves

They hate and fear Muslim immigrants? They go looking to the culture wars for a way to make that virtuous They find the Israel-Palestine conflict and go "Ah ha, the great struggle of the world is Jews vs. Muslims That means I, who hate Muslims, am kind of Jewish!"

It's INSANE It's DISGUSTING But they actually LITERALLY BELIEVE THIS They don't even care about trying to disguise it or construct some kind of argument They will come right out and call you "antisemitic" for attacking JK Rowling, who's about as Jewish as Hitler was

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!

Like I'm not exaggerating or trying to make a rhetorical point If you go on UK Twitter it's a fucking kneejerk reflex, every single person they cross swords with is an "antisemite", you attacking them personally is "antisemitic" Fucking Scottish Presbyterians say this shit

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

Frances fucking Weetman and Sarah fucking Ditum don't get to gesture vaguely to antisemitism to say that people who attack them are in some sense antisemitic No fucking way They're not Jewish, they're not "Jewish-coded", they're not "adjacent to Judaism" God fucking damn it

Sarah Ditum trying to pull this rhetorical maneuver on Judith Butler, a Jewish academic who's been under constant siege from the Christian Right in the US her whole career, whose family had a branch wiped out in the Holocaust At long last, have you no decency

Ah, yes, who can forget the great and terrible sacrifices Harry and his friends made to stop Voldemort's antisemitic attack on *checks notes* "Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw", the one Jewish student at Hogwarts

Replying to @arthur_affect @Glides
This is relatively minor, but something that irked me is the fact that the token Asian and Jewish student were both in Ravenclaw, the scholastic house, performing their perfect little "model minority" roles. I doubt it would occur to her to put them in Bravery House.
