And I quote...

"If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist."

I hope that wasn't said in response to what I posted. I found that Rowling quote comforting in broadly disturbing times because it shows me at least someone is seeing the state of the world in sane terms. I shared it here hoping it might either bolster someone else's buffeted spirits as global society descends into intolerant hate, or at least maybe inspire a moment's thought.

"When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts.
When marriages stop talking, divorce happens.
When civilization stops talking, civil war ensues.
When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group."
