Chalk up a win for Team Reality.
Technically, Rowling should have been hauled off in chains. Instead, Scotland backed down:
Breaking: Police Scotland says they will NOT log a a Non-Crime Hate Incident against JK Rowling.
A spokesperson said: “The circumstances have been assessed and will not be recorded as a Non-Crime Hate Incident.”
— Andrew Learmonth (@andrewlearmonth)
If JK Rowling’s posts calling out biological men—and “abusing” and “insulting” them— aren’t actionable, then nothing can be actionable in that regard. Nor does it help the transgender cause that the only person with more demands for arrest under the law than JK Rowling is Humza Yousaf, Scotland’s First Minister (although his are anti-white, race-based complaints).
It’s great to see Rowling win this battle, but it’s only one battle in a nation that has no First Amendment enshrining free speech. And here’s the kicker: If you think it can’t happen here, it can. After all, the entire Democrat establishment is prosecuting Trump for complaining about an election outcome and urging people to go to Congress to make their voices “peacefully” heard, two essential elements of core free speech because they’re both political.
Trump’s not the only one being persecuted. Jurisdictions all over America pass laws and regulations exposing conservatives to prosecution or civil actions for wrong think and wrong speech. And do I even need to get started on Big Tech’s censorious activities, even though they have effectively become the public square in America?
Looking at America’s creeping censorship, do you see any American billionaires other than Trump having Rowling’s courage when it comes to Truth?
To ask the question is to answer it, I’m afraid. Widberg closes with another Tweet, wherein Matt Walsh tells it like it is in one short sentence: “Scotland Makes It Illegal To Hurt A Trans Person’s Feelings.” That’s about the size of it, yeah.
Unfortunately, anybody who imagines this will be the end of it, that the Wokester SS will now contritely accept defeat, pack up their kit, and slink off home to sulk and weep the pain away in ruminative solitude had damned well better think again. Scotland’s Hate Crimes law is still in effect, and there are still great numbers of reality-based Poors out there in need of having their doors kicked in and their skulls clubbed into red, gooey mush by swarming SWAT squaddies. Count on it: The Enemy will be back, more wrathful than ever and way sooner than you probably expect, to seek vengeance against sane, non-celebrity Scots with an assist from Offissa Pupp & His Many Pals.
Even so, a win is a win, and even the most modest, fleeting victory over the foes of decency, truth, and simple objective reality is cause aplenty for celebration. Dancing in the streets, pointing and laughing, and singing “Nyah, nyah, nyah nyah-nyah” in merry mockery of the dejected lunatics all remain strictly optional, of course, but are nevertheless highly encouraged.

“…do you see any American billionaires other than Trump having Rowling’s courage when it comes to Truth?”
Musk *may* be one. Hard to be certain, but I think he is trying.
Musk made his billions from taxpayer subsidies and laws designed to get people to buy his products, just like nearly every other billionaire – especially now, with all of the “green” scam stuff. He’s not as concerned with truth as he might want you to think.
Baloney. I take every deduction on my tax returns allowed by law and that includes the 30% subsidy for solar. I don’t have to agree with the law that creates subsidies but I’m not stupid enough to refuse the 1000″s in deductions, especially since I’m paying the damn bills anyway.
I did use the term *may* as it is not clear what Musk truly is. But taking advantage of subsidies means nothing with respect to a desire for the truth.
I’d go ya one further and say that, when FederalGovCo has made it nigh impossible to establish and maintain a successful business WITHOUT goobermint interference/subsidy, none but a fool would even attempt to do otherwise. In a rigged game, you either play by rigged rules or you better not play at all.
“Government subsidies”, my tired ass.
He’s outright publicly stated on multiple occasions that he wants people NOT to buy his EVs, because even with the subsidies, he’s losing money on every one he sells.
There is no clearer way than this to tell people “This is all B.S.”, short of saying those actual words, over and over.
As I said in a comment on the previous post about Rowling, she’s not done yet. She will keep on and force them to either back down across the board or prosecute her.
It’s not over…
When someone else is arrested and prosecuted under this law will they point to her and say “what’s the difference between me and her?”
THEN, it will be interesting to see the court’s reactions…
Especially when she says exactly the same thing, word for word…
Bwahahaha, bread and circuses. History tells us how this ends.
These laws will do far more to harm the “protected class” than they will to benefit them, because they put the “protected class” and their differences right square in the spotlight. There will of course be a backlash, which will create more alienation and division – and in the end, that’s what these laws are for, it’s to create alienation and division amongst the class of people that actually gets the work done, in favor of the class which is a parasite on them and takes the fruits of their labor for themselves, while giving them little good – if not outright evil – in return. It’s as old as Caesar – “divide and conquer” – or Sun Tzu – “if your opponent is united, divide him.” And these laws are a great distraction away from the corrupted, thieving governments which put them in place. It’s like a gang of pickpockets working a crowd – start up a fake fight, then the others pick the pockets of the people whose attention is distracted.
“and in the end, that’s what these laws are for”
Clearly. The people that pass this trash could care less about any human. Their goal is power, power to rule.
It’s our job to stop them. Everywhere, in every way.
