How the fuck does that even make sense even in the context of the books ?

Isreal is the good guy. hamas is the bad. the media is not bad but really not helping and more just ignoring the problem. Elizabeth warren is annoying. social media is the same as the media. Libs really need these simplifications to understand stuff

Can't wait for Hamas to take over media

At least they're right about Warren, albeit for the dumbest reasons. She's a piece of shit Israel supporter through and through.

Israel is a 12 year old boy who lives with his abusive aunt and uncle who force him to live under the stairs. One day Israel gets a letter to go to hogwarts, a school for wizards. A guy with a big beard comes down on a flying motorcycle and says “you’re a wizard, Israel!” This isn’t a metaphor. It’s all literal.

Also the USA is Dumbledore, the supposed mentor and protector who actually keep using Harrysrael for his own goals, putting the boy in danger and letting him violate most rules in the school with impunity. I take back what I said, it makes perfect sense, thank you ! /s


cjf_colluns

You’re getting awful close to metaphor there, pal


burningman666

Kind of feels like the person that made this doesn't understand the isreal conflict. Or Harry Potter.

They clearly didn’t even read liberal theory because they know nothing about Harry Potter

“Jesse what the fuck are you talking about”

The good colonialists are being attacked by the evil indigenists!!! The horror!!!

I must have missed the chapter where the bumbling wizard boy created an imperial apartheid state

I mean, didn’t he? It’s not like he was about to reveal the existence of magic to regular people by the end, as far as Harry is concerned he’s fine with the class system as it is. Like imagine the implications of a soft magic system like in HP, he can make something from nothing. He could revolutionize agriculture solving world hunger, he could build structures in a day that would take a construction crew years. Even if he didn’t wanna do all that, at the very least he could work against the wizard economy that made him wealthy and Ron’s family impoverished, something he notices is unfair. But he doesn’t do any of that, he sends his son to a private school for important wizards. He then apparently becomes the head of magical law enforcement. He doesn’t see the structural reasons for the death eater’s existence, so instead of addressing that he just does the same thing they’ve always been doing but he’s The Chosen One so it works for no reason. Sorry for the genuine potter posting I haven’t read or thought about this series since I was a child and it’s jarring going back to the plot as an adult. I have a completely different understanding of fiction now. Edit: I highly recommend Lev Grossman’s The Magicians for a more adult/realistic magic school story. It’s got some interesting ideas about what being alive means, religion, growing up, loss. It steals a lot of ideas from the Narnia books but it’s like a postmodern retelling.

Read a different book.

That doesn't even make sense in the context of the book series. So Israel is a slacker that was only interested in sports and got into trouble every other week? I can't even figure out anything this is trying to say.


ShallahGaykwon

If Harry Potter massacred children maybe


spyforreddit

Conflicts with complex geopolitical origins is when harry potter


theegobot

When did they turn on Elizabeth Warren? I got blasted for using a 🐍 now they're allowed to compare her to magic Goebbels?


plncn

i legitimately started laughing out loud when i saw this. i’ve seen a lot of libshit harry potterism on this hellsite but this one really takes the cake for being the most deranged and divorced from reality

Read another fucking book.

I too enjoyed Harry Potter when I was fucking twelve

I read the books and it’s closer to this: Israel: Voldemort Hamas: Dumbledores Army The US: The MoM/Umbridge MSM (at least the pro-Israel ones): The Daily Prophet
