This is why I don’t get why liberals treat fiction like it’s divinely inspired. Like analogs and references to real world things in Harry Potter aren’t a result of J.K. Rowling’s ideology, they’re just self-evidently correct divinely inspired metaphors. In their mind, J.K. Rowling isn’t inventing a setting purely from her own knowledge and biases, the liberal becomes immersed in the fiction and unconsciously accepts the text as Rowling merely reporting on truths of this world the way she observes. They don’t read it critically as a world created entirely from her imagination, because it gently confirms their biases
