The main problem is that the the public debate climate has reduced to cultural revolution level of intolerance. It's shocking to the depths the west has sunk to.
Simple slogans and actions are offered as a solution to a set of complex problems, and if you don't agree to the message, you are labeled obviously as a Enemy Of The Moral Righteousness and must be flamed to death.
This is exactly what the public debate climate was in the soviet states. There is only one accepted truth. And if you question the truth, then you must be a bad person in every other way as well. Since, we all know, there is only right and wrong, black and white, true and false. We know the real world is a simple place, where it suffices to repeat the party line and enjoy a blissful existence knowing you are on the right side of history and anyone who opposes you must be wicked through and through. Or, just, anyone trying to debate anything, really. Since you need opposing viewpoints to form a debate.
I'm glad people like Rowling don't stand down in front of the hivemind firing squad but try to maintain the climate of open debate alive.
Most people probably won't care one way or the other, but it saddens me our public debate channels give the loudest voice to intolerance and mob mentality driven attacks.
