      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.

      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)

          It's a really striking far-right turn in the middle of that plot. The House Elves really are being abused, and we see it constantly. Dobby is terrified constantly. Then suddenly, it just stops being anyone's problem and Hermione is a joke.

          This is why I love Shin Sekai Yori. It shows up just how dumbass privileged the kids are, the slow realisation of how utterly terrifying they are to everything else on the planet, and even the ones that realise the problem are still operating from huge unconscious prejudices.
