JK Rowling is at it again with her utter shite against Scottish nationalism.
She was able to selectively crop tweets that she believes paint ‘Scottish’ nationalists in an evil light.
Ethnic nationalism is abhorrent. Everyone knows this, but this user doesn’t actually claim to be a Scottish nationalist. They just say they are Scots. As a matter of fact…
One look at the profile though and this ‘Scottish Nationalist’ seems to take pride in flying the Union Jack which is something I can’t imagine a Scottish nationalist doing. Sorry JK, think they are one of yours.
Next up she thinks that’s she got the Yes campaign pinned by selecting tweets from an account called ‘Alba Rising’ who has posted white supremacist and anti-Semitic tweets.
Again…not a Scottish nationalist. Actually someone advocating for Corbyn…rather telling.
In short, JK Rowling tried to attack the Yes campaign over something twitter accounts with about 20 followers posted. And then failed to realise they were on her side.
Of course, if one of her 14 million followers hold any abhorrent views…we wouldn’t automatically assume JK Rowling is a racist, would we?

It gets worse thanks to JK Rowling retweeting Nazis;
I dont think she realizes (or cares) about the harm shes causing because in her mind Scottish nationalists are just as bad as Nazis and so it’s worth it.
White people who openly say that “Diversity is a code word for white genocide” are explicitly stating white people are too weak to survive if they have to compete equally for resources and would literally die out- literally go extinct- without being protected and isolated for their safety.
Y’all white people need to do something about those weak links among you.
It might seem like this argument would work but it doesn’t 😦 I mean, it works against people who are on the fence, but committed white supremacists already have a practiced answer: the white race is always the best and smartest and strongest and whenever they’re not, it’s because traitors on the inside (Jewish people) stabbed them in the back. It’s the same argument Hitler used to rise to power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth
This is an incredibly powerful explanatory model if you choose to believe in it. Everything good you do is because you’re naturally good and deserve it: everything bad you do is because an enemy made you do it.
I get that but in all fairness, my point wasn’t to speak to or reason with nazis and white supremacists, but to clarify the butt-puckered fear behind it to the white people who follow me and are called upon in general to use their white privilege to fight white supremacy. Because I know a lot of white ppl who are at least conceptually down for fighting the good fight are actually so obsessed with seeing nazis/kkk members as monsters mad with power (and thus being overly intimidated by them) that they don’t actually see them as the hallucinating cornered rats they are- afraid and screaming out in panic (over nothing) and part of this comes from the fact that people in general have a hard time understanding that humanizing the enemy doesn’t pardon them at all but actually gives insight into their vulnerability.
Like my OP is a statement, I’m not making an argument, not two feet on the ground. I’m literally *telling* white ppl how it is. Nazis, white nationalists, KKK etc, they are white people who are operating on the belief that white ppl can’t handle competition. That in a global world, they cannot survive. They are white people openly explaining the reasons they are obsolete and white people who are *not* them are tasked with handling them first and foremost.
And I am simply saying, straight up, they are obsolete absolute cowards. I’m not saying talk them out of it, I’m not giving a good argument to use, I’m saying it: Racists are the weakest humans. All of their violence is no more or less impressive than the actions of a cornered animal. Their anger towards minorities is a self-created death throe and should be seen as such.
Sorry I replied off of the reblog of your post without checking the notes and seeing that you already addressed it. I’d delete my reblog if tumblr didn’t do the thing it does where it saves the notification anyway. Feel free to ignore it.

It also doesn’t work for the same reason why “so you think you’re the master race but Asians and Jews are inherently smarter?” doesn’t work. They don’t so much see themselves as the best at everything ever as much as the creators of everything wonderful that has existed. They see all the pretty cathedrals in Europe and go “this is the pinnacle of human achievement and we will never get back to anything like it.” They think any intermixing between White and non-White cultures will lead to the end of civilization as we know it. They justify all of this with some really bad evolutionary psychology. It’s all rubbish of course but it’s attractive to people who are willfully ignorant of science and history.
They’re also the only major corporation left that still advertises on Breitbart according to Sleeping Giants
oppression isn’t generational and trying to frame politics as “the old people are wrong and the young people are right” erases the fact that there are old people who have been fighting the good fight for decades and the fact that there are young people who are literally nazis
Y’all, take a breath. I know it’s easy to be afraid, to be outraged, and to get worked up by the renewed waves of antisemetism. But these neo, meso, and paleo nazis are simply adding their names to the roll call of failure.
We are a people that can trace our roots almost 6,000 years. How many people can say that? How many nations and people have been lost during that time? We have survived famine, war, diaspora (twice!), and holocaust. The Greeks failed to annihilate us, as did the Babylonians, the Persians, the Romans, the Catholics of Spain and Portugal, the Germans and their collaborators. The Jewish faith has multiple holidays dedicated to our survival in unlikely circumstances and improbable military victories.
Don’t underestimate our enemies, but don’t get down on our chances either.
Not to mention their WORST nightmare is our reality. They fear “”“white genocide”“” because they think it will make them into a persecuted minority. Their fear of even the potential of having the lived experiences of people they’ve oppressed is a notable weakness of theirs.
Outside the ICE detention facility in Macclenny, FL.
This woman just drove through a crowd of us as we protested outside an ICE detention facility, as we crossed the parking lot to return to our cars, and she hit someone.
Cops didn’t see it of course and they walked off a random protester in bracelets for criminal mischief.
The lady then circled around and parked to watch.
The cops are right here, giving car lady a victim writeup.
Cops refuse to take contact info from any of us. Someone called a different department in.
Police are reluctantly taking statements. They warned us they will arrest us if we lie.
They say the girl they grabbed hit the car, and are charging her with criminal mischief. Bail fund is going; cash-only right now.
The cops are now accusing us of jaywalking (it’s a parking lot).
And [the car driver] still here, watching and I’m sure enjoying. She circled back for the show.
Consensus is the cops planned this. Which is pretty much certainly true.
From witnesses:
“I was there. She had plenty of opportunity to drive away but she stuck around to act aggressive and accused someone of hitting her car. She hit someone with her car.”
“When someone was mocking her saying “is your daddy coming to get you now” when cops started walking toward us from the building and she said “yes actually”“
This essentially happened to my husband about 10 years ago, with long term devastating ramifications for us that we still feel to this day. I don’t want to get into details because I don’t want to be identified and we’ve recently been doxxed by nazis (again).
But we found ourselves in a situation where an angry assclown in a van decided to slam into a group of protesters, broke my husband’s neck in three places, confessed his crime to both dispatch and the officer on the scene, and was never charged for anything. He was cleared of any wrongdoing virtually instantaneously, while my husband and, by proximity our family, suffered for years.
Please know, if you’re on the fence about rejecting the police – many of us hate the police for extremely good, personal reasons.
