Was Harry Potter an allegory for American Politics?

There is a certain cast of mind which, unable to bear reality, continually falls back on reinterpreting it in terms of comfortable, soothing fantasy tropes. This mentality seeks to evade reality, to conform it to comforting fantasy, so that what is confusing, dense and intricate can be reduced to simple platitudes. This denial mechanism no doubt implicates the general infantilization of American politics.

yeah, but they usually use the bible instead of harry potter

This is almost Lovecraftian in its ability to melt my mind

it's glimpsing at the sun

it's called abstracting through personification. people have been doing it since we started painting cave walls.

pay attention to policy and ignore the commentariat its passable

also, what a bunch of empty blabber, holy shi

Projecting much?

The success of the propaganda campaign against Tulsi Gabbard is one of the most terrifying recent political developments to me.
>has been elected Democratic politician on-and-off for 17 years
>was Vice Chair of the DNC for three years
>has been completely memoryholed and now there are hordes of people completely convinced she is a Republican working as a spy for Putin who just wants to boost Donald Trump

Harry Potter was barely an allegory for a novel

A great example of this is a phenomenon where people cling to an idealized, mythic, depiction of the past and orient their politics around the impossible task of resurrecting said past.

This seriously bugs the heck out of me. Voldemort raised his army against a bureaucratic unelected dictatorship that was *in league with the muggle govt to force its own people into hiding.* Sure his methods may be questionable, may even be villainous, but the fact that he had legitimate grievances with a horribly dysfunctional dystopia *that is regularly painted as such* is never even so much as hinted at.

What kind of literary level do you have to be at to create a horrible political structure only to have the ome character who consistently opposes it painted as a blithering lunatic with no good motives whatsoever??

This just really really bothers me.

Can Americans think politics outside of pop culture

w-we are adults

it was not

There's something deeply disturbing about a generation that refuses to put aside childish things.

Why would an adult want to go to Disneyland? I was never there, but you can tell it's exactly the same as any local theme park, but it has Mickey Mouse and costs 3x as much

Al-Qaeda should have blown it to smithereens on that fateful tuesday in september
fuck disney and fuck overgrown children

no, Harry Potter just is easy to project onto American politics because of American pathological obsession with racism

absolutely not

Pretty sad and stupid, obviously.

Hunger games and Harry Potter, reminds me of the average NPC girl on tinder who says she 'reads a lot'.

Grown up children.

Teach women to read, they said. It will be great, they said.

once again in awe of how dumb redditors are

Yes, but please let them keep thinking like this.
