      Like, it's telling that the worst thing about the Death Eater regime in Deathly Hallows is *falsely accusing Muggleborn wizards of just being Muggles* "Who did you steal that wand from? Whose magic have you been leeching off of?" etc

      And that obviously shouldn't be presented as the worst thing they do The worst thing is how they treat ACTUAL Muggles - and Squibs - who ACTUALLY can't do magic The fact that a Muggle is helpless to stop anything a wizard wants to do to them should be a horrifying injustice

      But the books never really question this They do, in fact, end up going with this idea that the talented elite deserve their privileged position by right and the bad guys are only bad because of their conservative belief that talent is hereditary

      Yeah, the elite trained in/for the four Hogwarts houses--Sandhurst, the Bullingdon Club, the Royal Society, the Civil Service--are distinct in their beliefs from Voldemort's eugenics only because they think it's the White Toff's Burden to rule the proles with bourgeois propriety.

      Replying to @Hal_Duncan @arthur_affect and

      The bad guys are actually only bad because they *extend* the society-wide belief that talent is hereditary and results in better and lesser breeds (which the text asks us to read as in fact *true*) into subjugation by open force rather than deceit.

      Yes The whole thing is that when Voldemort talks about wanting to rule over Muggles as a tyrant... they're already halfway there Wizards already think they have the right to nonconsensually VIOLATE YOUR MIND and WIPE YOUR MEMORIES so you won't know they exist

      It's made super clear in-universe that no one in the Ministry gives a shit about Muggles or even knows anything about Muggles Whenever the Aurors investigate "Dark wizards" they're investigating crimes *against other wizards*

      All of the Muggle-related crimes Arthur Weasley deals with are explicitly much less important (remanded to the Dept of Enforcement but not actual Aurors) and all involve breaking the Statute of Secrecy, not harming Muggles in general

      In the universe as she presents it she shows the Death Eaters going around torturing Muggles for sport as, well, a bad thing to do, but also something they generally get away with How could they not? How could a Muggle possibly call the cops on them or take them to court

      She makes a black comedy joke out of this with the cute little twist with the Prime Minister The Ministry of Magic goes through the legal niceties of pretending they interact Muggle government on equal terms But of course they don't really

          It really does end up being a struggle between a "liberal" elite who preach benign neglect and an openly fascist elite who preach unrestrained sadism But they're all fucking dyes-in-the-wool elitists

          The genuinely democratic, populist point of view only comes up at all to get mocked and abused, making Hermione into an out-of-touch Soapbox Sadie with SPEW Muggle populists show up as cartoon fundie villains in Fantastic Beasts (the witch hunters)

          I'm really wondering about the idea of the PM just going along with things the pm is supposed to be John major and Maggie had just been ousted so she was in office for Voldemort etc. I can't imagine either of them not working on counter measures and a project to hunt wizards.

          Also, constitutional convention (as you probably know, being on Lake Erie): ministers are commissioned by the monarch. So either: 1) the Queen doesn't know, in which case the Ministry of Magic is illegitimate and has been for a very long time

          2) the Queen does know and is a Muggle, in which case she's effectively at the mercy of the existing magical oligarchy; there is no possible way she could make an informed choice regarding who to commission 3) the Queen does know and is a witch, which is EVEN WORSE
