So this fake tweet surfaced
It's one hundred percent not real...
But rather than just say hey not real
Our intrepid transphobic rich lady decides you know what this fake tweet is like....
THE ELDERS OF ZION!
It takes impressive skill to respond to something fake with something actually worse than the fake thing you were accused of.
EDIT: Context,
JK has been a subtle TERF for years, recently she came out in overt support of a woman whose contract was not renewed because she was deeply transphobic. She framed it as no one should be fired for supporting women and basically affirmed what many trans folk had already known that she doesn't see trans women as women.
This is what she said:
.
It's a clear statement that trans women aren't real women, and that it's dangerous that someone could not be employed for believing that. It's not only hateful, it's fear mongering about how trans rights, and our identities are a systemic threat to women
So when this fake tweet surfaces and she's invoking a quote about totalitarianism and the creation of the Elders of Zion, the conntection to the systemic fear mongering is there:
They'll fire us, they'll lie about us.
You don't casually invoke a quote about totalitarianism without a greater point. There's a million other ways to talk about the ease which fake tweets spread without invoking totalitarianism
