Voldemort and the Death Eaters are the big instigators of change and Harry never quite gets to Voldy's level
This was a part of the post that resonated with me when I first saw this years ago. It explains the attraction of right wing movements to people who intuitively understand that Things Need To Change. Going down the fascist rabbit hole will at least give you glimpses of dynamism and vision about a different world. The liberal alternative is... Starmer's Labour Party.
Matt said something similar about the liberal media's reaction to the Joker movie - "If this resonates with you - if you feel alienated and confused and alone and think the system needs a complete overhaul - you're a Nazi. You can either accept things as they are, or you can be a reactionary, those are your only two options. But tons of young men are seeing the movie and realizing it does resonate with them, and going 'okay then I guess I'm a Nazi, cus what the Liberals are selling is absolutely horseshit."
The far right is the only game is town offering an alternative. That's the whole point of Fascism - to pervert that revolutionary desire for change and to point the anger away from the top and toward the bottom.
David graber the antropologist has an essay about how in superhero stories the villian is the onlyone exibhiting creativity. And the heroes are almost always reactonary. And how this contrast makes the audience falsley see facism aztbe only alternative to the status quo. I think its one of the chapters at the end of utopia of rules but it also should be posted elswere on the internet.
