The Harry Potter book series is one of the biggest franchises in the world.
00:00:05.840
There's a good chance you've either read the books, seen the movies, played the video games,
00:00:09.960
or even visited the real-life Harry Potter world.
00:00:15.640
the Harry Potter franchise is the best-selling book series in history.
00:00:19.380
But if there's one thing we know, in 2022, nothing is safe or sacred from the left.
00:00:24.540
And no one learned that harder than J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books.
00:00:30.000
You remember when she hit her name because she wanted people to think she was a man?
00:00:36.100
No one was more surprised by the franchise's popularity than the author herself.
00:00:40.160
Rowling's early life as an author didn't reap much success.
00:00:43.100
While writing the first Harry Potter book, The Sorcerer's Stone,
00:00:46.000
she actually lived off government welfare in a tiny apartment in London.
00:00:52.760
her work was widely rejected until one small publisher picked up the book in 1997.
00:00:57.640
Almost overnight, her books were a colossal success.
00:01:01.040
And over the years that followed, Rowling was almost as active politically as she was artistically.
00:01:08.080
donating millions of dollars to Britain's Labour Party
00:01:10.320
and speaking regularly about the role government should play in expanding welfare and other liberal policies.
00:01:16.040
She's a self-proclaimed feminist, LGBT advocate,
00:01:18.680
and she routinely speaks out about systemic racism.
00:01:23.360
You can probably guess how she feels about Trump, too.
00:01:25.920
She's referred to him as a fascist, a bigot, a jo-
00:01:33.000
And even as the main antagonist of her book series, Voldemort himself.
00:01:38.620
Or, I guess it's he whose name shall not be spoken.
00:01:41.440
Sorry about that for all the Harry Potter fans.
00:01:43.280
Conversely, she's praised Hillary Clinton during the election
00:01:48.520
as a, quote, highly intelligent, experienced woman,
00:01:53.940
And spent the entirety of Trump's presidency decrying his every move,
00:01:57.200
wishing for a, quote, Clinton or Obama in the White House.
00:02:00.700
Her political views certainly carried over to her books as well.
00:02:03.620
Rowling has been infamous for retroactively changing certain parts of the series,
00:02:07.760
months or even years after the Harry Potter books were published.
00:02:10.540
Apparently, Dumbledore was actually gay the entire time.
00:02:14.020
I don't know how any of us could have missed that.
00:02:19.420
She was actually black, despite virtually no reference to her skin color or race in any of the books.
00:02:25.240
And thankfully, according to Rowling, you won't have to worry about tuition fees at Hogwarts
00:02:29.080
because the Ministry of Magic is happy to pay off your student loans for you.
00:02:35.500
She's saying all the right talking points in order to get Twitter on her side.
00:02:39.100
That's right, it sounds like Rowling's reworked Wizarding World was actually quite the progressive paradise.
00:02:43.920
So why then, if she's such a diehard leftist, would the left try and cancel her?
00:02:48.260
For the influential author of children's literature to be so vehemently anti-trans
00:02:53.640
and to so publicly shame, ridicule, and invalidate trans people is lethal.
00:03:05.220
Wouldn't they want someone with so much influence on their side?
00:03:09.400
But remember, to be on the left is essentially to be in a cult.
00:03:28.480
Don't use the N-word because we are the African Kings.
00:03:33.860
What's the point of her with the mask on if she's not wearing it?
00:03:51.760
When I was buying my eggs and protein shakes at the grocery store.
00:03:59.520
You know that to enter the United States from a foreign country?
00:04:04.160
We're one of the five countries in the United States.
00:04:06.180
To force foreigners to be vaccinated just to enter this country?
00:04:09.380
Anything they decide goes, your agency as an individual is totally stripped.
00:04:16.680
And when it comes to the left, full commitment to the cult means agreeing with every leftist
00:04:20.600
talking point imaginable, no matter how insane or ridiculous you think they might be.
00:04:25.080
If you don't fully commit, if you're even missing 1% of the leftist ideology in the
00:04:28.840
playbook, then not only are you not with the left...
00:04:31.920
But you're literally a fascist, racist, homophobic bigot.
00:04:34.900
But in their view, you're actively against them.
00:04:46.240
And J.K. Rowling made the mistake of only committing halfway to the cult.
00:04:50.980
In December of 2019, she took to Twitter to support a researcher who had been recently
00:04:59.980
In reality, the researcher had opposed legislation that would allow people...
00:05:08.180
You understand that men can't become women and women can't...
00:05:26.800
Did you see that video today of like this male sprinter who became a woman and she's
00:05:39.640
Or did you see that guy in the UK who just murdered a bunch of people?
00:05:43.320
I think he stabbed like three people and he gets convicted.
00:05:45.740
But before he goes to jail, he becomes a woman, puts on a crop top, and now he goes to a female
00:05:51.440
prison because he identifies as a woman without doing any...
00:06:05.440
If you can't fight off a tranny, man, you need to get in the gym, bro.
00:06:07.800
People to choose their gender legally without actually undergoing a medical procedure.
00:06:11.960
Wyskowski says, bro, that man chick got the fattest ass I've ever seen.
00:06:22.780
I went to school with one trans and it was being sad all day, being alone sad all day.
00:06:30.120
I went to a boarding school in high school and the trans person, they built its own dorm room.
00:06:35.480
I want to say it's because I was in the male dorms.
00:06:42.020
She, whatever, wanted to live in the male dorms.
00:06:47.800
Like everybody on the floor, we all had to share the same bathroom.
00:06:53.860
People would have like coffee and shaving shit all over the sink.
00:06:56.960
And this one tranny, they got their own bathroom.
00:07:02.540
Like if you're going to come into the male dorms, be...
00:07:04.860
What's the point of even living in the male dorms if you're going to have your own bathroom and be here?
00:07:10.340
If you're supposed to become a man, why are you still getting privileges of your own...
00:07:16.980
You can't earn the merits to even get your own room, to have a single room and not sleep in a bunk bed.
00:07:22.300
You have to be like a proctor, an RA, for example.
00:07:27.460
This tranny got all these privileges for cutting a dick off.
00:07:34.320
The tranny was always celebrated, always got all these privileges.
00:07:42.220
Why are you getting all these extra hula hoops?
00:07:44.980
BTR got reported for taking the elevator and the trans was rushing to take a picture of me.
00:07:50.140
I don't even know what you're talking about, but...
00:07:55.120
Rowling expressed disdain over the firing while trying her best to appeal to the left in the process.
00:07:59.800
But ultimately, as most arguments with mobs are, it was futile.
00:08:03.920
The second she showed even an ounce of disapproval to the left, especially to the sacred transgender community,
00:08:09.520
she became a target for them, as opposed to an advocate.
00:08:12.960
After all that grifting for Hillary Clinton, after all that Nancy Pelosi and Trump hating,
00:08:23.920
And you could argue that the all, like the right, I guess the red pill is a cult too.
00:08:28.900
People who are, we're chugging eggs, we're in the gym every day, we're making money online,
00:08:34.000
we're starting our own businesses, we're motivating each other.
00:08:36.400
Or would you rather be in a cult of blue-haired dick cutters?
00:08:40.660
Would you rather be in a cult of cancel culture and bringing people down and making hit pieces?
00:09:00.440
I have different professors every single day of the week.
00:09:07.380
Well, can you talk to me specifically if I should buy it?
00:09:11.440
If you don't like it, you don't need to buy it.
00:09:17.600
Well, this is what you should do as a college student.
00:09:23.500
Only 1,000 people are going to be able to join.
00:09:30.200
The human rights campaign and GLAAD heroically condemned Rowling's hateful anti-science tweet.
00:09:37.420
But where you might expect her to cower before the mob, as so many before her have, Rowling
00:09:47.580
Nah, you have to, if we learn anything about the woke left, this is how you get out of
00:09:53.840
Pattern of behavior where I really want, especially women on stage, to feel safer.
00:10:02.900
I've never made like a fucking weird, I don't know, seat sniffing joke.
00:10:08.980
It's in June, 2020, when DVEX.com released a headline titled, Creating a More Equal Post-COVID-19
00:10:21.520
Remember, people who menstruate, it's the term they use for women these days.
00:10:35.700
But shortly after she tweeted that pretending sex and gender are fluid will eventually
00:10:40.120
and inevitably lead to the erasure of women, she expressed ire with the trans community,
00:10:44.960
a community she said she had allied herself with for decades.
00:10:48.820
In the same tweet thread, she supported, quote, every trans person's right to live any way
00:10:52.820
that feels authentic and comfortable to them, but said she wasn't willing to concede the
00:10:58.840
She took to her website to describe the, quote, toxicity she was receiving from the LGBT community,
00:11:07.040
But of course, that wasn't going to stop the left from showing up at Rowling's door
00:11:12.860
Many began advocating that people stop reading her comments altogether.
00:11:16.320
After all, it was worth it to avoid the, quote, far-right language and pure hate that Rowling
00:11:22.460
The media, which had spent a decade holding up Rowling as a feminist icon, turned on her
00:11:27.040
Well, they started running headlines bashing her over the remarks, all while conveniently
00:11:33.620
leaving out the fact she made Hermione black and look what happened.
00:11:38.220
She made Dumbledore gay and look what happened.
00:11:41.780
That she agrees with the other 99% of their views because, again, 99% isn't enough.
00:11:50.780
The stars of the Harry Potter movies, who owed all of their wealth, fame, and prestige
00:11:55.300
to J.K. Rowling, were quick to turn on her as well.
00:12:02.300
Deciding to virtue signal from their ivory towers.
00:12:05.320
Daniel Radcliffe bravely proclaimed, quote, transgender women are women.
00:12:14.760
And apologized to the poor souls who felt their book reading experience was tarnished.
00:12:21.740
Okay, he'll say some shit like this, but he won't be able to answer the question,
00:12:32.840
...who felt their book reading experience was tarnished.
00:12:36.400
It's worth noting that Daniel Radcliffe now has a reported $110 million net worth,
00:12:41.560
thanks almost entirely to the bigoted brain of J.K. Rowling.
00:12:45.240
It remains to be seen if Radcliffe will be donating any of that money to a trans organization,
00:12:53.100
Emma Watson, who strangely is a white woman, played what we now know to be a black woman
00:12:56.940
in the character Hermione, told her trans followers that she respects them and sees them,
00:13:07.840
Eddie Redmayne, who plays the main protagonist in the spinoff Fantastic Beasts,
00:13:12.080
wanted to make it, quote, absolutely clear where he stands.
00:13:15.520
That Rowling is wrong and trans women are women, trans men are men.
00:13:19.420
You know, you've heard it all before, you get the idea.
00:13:23.560
In July of 2020, they released a statement promising that diversity and inclusion
00:13:31.580
They gave the usual talking points about, quote, fostering empathy and advocating understanding.
00:13:36.640
Again, they're still happy to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the back of J.K. Rowling,
00:13:44.240
And she still today talks about protecting real women's rights.
00:13:47.840
Chad, type of one if you don't think that they believe in any of the shit that they're tweeting,
00:13:51.680
and they're just doing it to keep their money and to not get canceled and to get more roles
00:13:56.400
Do you actually think that Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson were like,
00:14:00.800
trans women and hashtag pride, and I really care about these trannies?
00:14:06.560
Or was it just like their manager, yo, J.K. Rowling is going to cancel.
00:14:19.580
You got to, I'm going to get you this white supremacist role.
00:14:21.800
If you don't do it, they're not going to believe you anymore.
00:14:26.380
And then Emma Watson, no, I just want to do my star sign.
00:14:42.280
They just get on camera and they're, you know, slightly attractive so they get roles.
00:14:46.940
And drawing the line between trans women and women.
00:14:49.980
Despite everyone in her life essentially selling her out and calling her an important person
00:14:54.360
for having ideas they didn't agree with, Rowling didn't go anywhere.
00:14:58.040
Now, most of her tweets still read like they were written by DNC operatives.
00:15:02.020
And she still routinely advocates for Democrats and against Republicans.
00:15:10.560
Total adherence is the price to pay to stave off the outrage mob.
00:15:15.000
No matter how far liberal you are or have been your entire professional career,
00:15:21.400
Maybe Republicans won't have to do much to win over the midterms this year
00:15:24.580
because the left is eating its own right in front of us.
