Harry Potter is steeped in reactionary ideas. People are born with gifts that make them extremely unequal. There are strict hierarchies: older students have authority over younger students, teachers over students, headmaster over teachers. Centralized bureaucratic control over education creates a cruel horror show, as demonstrated by Dolores Umbridge. Harry is essentially born into a noble family, and that has imbued him with intrinsic characteristics that make him fit to lead. Students are mandated to always be armed at school, and it is bad for an adult wizard to ever be unarmed or allow himself to be disarmed. Journalists are liars and the truth can only be found in the crazy conspiracy publishers. The story culminates with Harry taking the role of Christ in his death and resurrection.
A lot of fiction popular with shitlibs is heavily reactionary. Even Star Trek has a lot of reactionary ideas, with the officers being nobles and Captains the Lords of their respective ships.
I think that's the main way the left sells their ideas to right-wingers: they tell them that if they adopt leftist ideas they'll get to live in some high-functioning pure meritocratic hierarchy. Then in practice what we get instead is "you can't have high-school graduation requirements for English and Algebra, or assign students a 'D' or 'F' grade".
I get a kick out of the 'muh space communism' crowd. By virtue of its TV show nature, ST depicts a world where lullabies, idioms, family structures, values, and ideals have been perfectly preserved for three hundred years. It's the definition of small-c conservative.
That's how they convinced the public to open up immigration. "It will be meritocratic and we will only let in the people who deserve to come here."
Meanwhile they will let in anybody and their family who can secure a work visa for a traitorous multinational company.
The Federation only works because of the Prime Directive. If they didn't have that they'd be doing the same thing we do: constantly try to fix broken civilizations (and usually end up making them worse in the process) and import people from those civilizations who want to instantly jump ahead in time 300 years without putting in the work.
My personal conspiracy theory is that Rowling didn't actually write the books.
This is also how I feel.
Did the Earl of Oxford write these too?
Did you ever see that Simpsons episode where they write a book?.
That's how she "wrote" her books. With a team of graduate writers bound by an NDA because they'd never sell anything without the sob story of an "abused woman".
wtf I love Harry Potter now?
Still really annoys me how a basic fact (men can’t be women and Vice versa) has become so controversial thanks to modern day society. Someone snapped at me once for saying that a man with gender dysphoria is still a man.
Take away social media and this false consensus will disappear.
Social media magnifies the voices of the insane minority while silencing the majority.
Basically most people don't think or operate based on any coherent principles, they just do what the people around them are doing. We had some cultural firewalls that limited NPC viruses in the past, but social media did away with that by putting everyone in contact with everyone 24/7.
I got reprimanded at work for saying "someone with 9 fingers isn't normal". When I replied that was objectively biologically true for humans I was told I shouldn't have phrased it as "someone with 9 fingers isn't normal". When I asked how I should have phrased it the response was some convoluted word salad about how even though it wasn't normal someone with 9 fingers could still live a perfectly normal life.
That was when I realized the corporate world was no longer a good fit for me.
I understand what you mean. Office Space was very accurate 20 years ago, even if Mike Judge is a leftist who looks at the problem from the leftist "working for evil corporations is bad" frame.
The denial of nature, reality, hierarchy itself is required for the leftist globohomo view to propagate, once you question even one facet it starts to unravel like a poorly knit sweater.
Normie Feminist is now a "bloodcurdling Reactionary"
men can't turn into women is a heresy now
It's all theater.
Soon, the plants on the right will talk about a "war on women" and we'll all be herded into defending them from the monster they created instead of defending ourselves from them.
Stop. Simping. For. People. Who. Want. You. Dead.
When "read another book" extends to not recognizing even incredibly famous book quotes you know they're a lost cause.
Only one response to these crazy people: Read another fucking book, you pathetic losers!
wtf is a redeemer? This guy a fan of reconstruction?
