I read JK Rowling’s first (only?) essay on why she feels the way she does regarding transgender issues. It’s thoughtful, and partially based on personal trauma. While I still didn’t agree with her, I respected the fact that she actually researched and considered the issue, instead of just blindly lashing out at something that made her feel uncomfortable.
I don’t feel that way anymore. It was fine when she was simply explaining her feelings, but now she’s actively spewing hatred and cheering when people have their rights taken away. I lost any kind of respect or empathy for her years ago.
I often wonder this same thing. I wouldn’t want nineteen cars and a ginormous house. I know that nothing I could buy would be as emotionally fulfilling as helping others.
People who feel like this rarely end up super rich
the truly baffling thing is how all the rich people do the same boring things with their money, surely if you want to splurge on luxury you'd have a fucking hobbit village constructed in some nice hills?
