The cultural left is against her for being very visibly transphobic (along other things). Additionally religious reactionaries historically don’t like the fact her books are inspired by historical witchcraft practices, as pointed out in the meme.

To quote wikipedia’s summery:

…Whited asserted in 2024 that Rowling’s sometimes “flippant” and “simplistic understanding of gender identity” had permanently changed her “relationship not only with fans, readers, and scholars … but also with her works themselves”.

Anna’s Archive seems to be doing a good job of that

It feels like something that should be referencesd whenever possible to keep it alive.

If you want more of this kind of stuff, check out this video or an entire series about a world with this kind of thing

But it does matter. The US backs Isreals Genocide and is the one supporting there iron dome systems. Affecting public sentiment via protesting would make the US politicians less willing to send money to Isreal. That would influence the outcome.

Good for you [retracted after new information]

You should try that when you get fired or “let go”

If you want better memes, be the change you want to see and post some

If you ever find a social media platform that doesn’t have stuff like this, please tell me. The larger a site gets the more representative of the human nature it gets, which leads to both really heartwarming stuff and things like this.

Yes, its the kind of people who were either kicked off reddit (I.e. the tankies), disagree with reddit over principles and/or moderation, and tech nerds (hense why Linux has a strong presence in c/all). Those groups of people are less likely to understand main stream appeal for things, probably because they aren’t the target audience.

Better luck next time FED, you aren’t stealing my memes today!

Exactly, its fine until it isn’t. Unfortunately most people don’t seem to realize just because there beliefs work in the present doesn’t mean they will continue to be beneficial in the future (e.g. a christian being recruited to work for free at the pastors business because “it is gods will”)

Its a shame as well because many of the old social places such as rotary club and the masonic lodges have died out, and the new “third places” are online and/or expensive to access (vrchat comes to mind). Its no wonder so many people use social media these days.

The funny thing is that those words somehow have actual meaning. Metaphysics is the philosophy of existance. I believe the “true” metaphysics he refers to is the fact that it is unknowable if anything other then you exists, because there is no guarantee you are not a bozmian brain or living in a simulation along other things.

This ability combined with rationality can allow you to adapt to changes in your perception of reality, while other frameworks can’t (for example there are still people who don’t believe in evolution because there interpretation of god is dependent on god creating all species at the start)

Agreed, though for most believing in irrational things is “fine” (in that it doesn’t harm them) until someone shows up to take advantage of it (I’m guessing at least one person is using ai to make it look like they can perform holy miracles on Facebook).

Indeed, the only reason bad words are censored is to get around autoflags, which is a fucking stupid thing to do to your userbase, particularly because only advertisers, who aren’t affected by it, are the only ones that care.

From my perspective its because people won’t change their beliefs unless they stop benefiting the believer. For people who live in a religious community, there church’s sunday social event is enjoyable, there friends are all religious, there denomination provides a entire moral framework and worldview they don’t even need to think about. Confirmation bias plays a major role in preventing alternate thought to block out other worldviews.

Only when someone does not gain much benefit from there religion or has a important part of there religion proven wrong, can they process alternative ideologies and either switch to a more useful denomination or stop believing entirely.
