If all those voters were so upset by Kamala Harris’ stance on Palestine, they should have voted in the primaries for a candidate that matched their views.
If you leave off the /s, you find the trolls.
I don’t know if that’s the argument you think it is? The first modern Chinese and Russian billionaires are products of the 80s/90s, decades after the deaths of Stalin and Mao. Arguably, there’s a fair amount of compromising that led to the collapse of the USSR and the rise of capitalist communism in China created these billionaires. Maybe if they’d kept a harder, purer, uncompromising communist line there’d be fewer billionaires.
You can also take a look at Reconstruction. Any black person will tell you that while there has been progress, it’s obviously not been enough. And Reconstruction played a large part in that. We were uncompromising at first, which led to real results. Then we compromised and Reconstruction ended. And the South went right back to the way things had been.
The sad truth is that if more people were uncompromising on their moral core, we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.

This is probably a minority take, but I feel like it might be important to watch this show if you want to have conversations with people in your life about JKR. If you don’t want to have conversations, absolutely ignore it.
Obviously, don’t spend money on it supporting her, but the overwhelming likelihood is that the show will be at least passably good. For better or worse, it’s a beloved IP and HBO has a solid history.
The conversations about the show will happen, and if I want to steer that conversation in my life, I need to be able to offer and interject something other than “Hey, did you know JKR is the richest woman in Britain and a massive piece of shit?”
Know thy enemy.
My pet peeve with Harry Potter is the Confederate ideology with slaves and house elves. If I want to have that conversation (I do), I’m going to need some familiarity to offer critique and highlight how they’re treating it and if they’re treating it differently.
