Yes, but see, of course historical context is changing, everyone watching social dynamics knows. I wasn't really brushing it off, rather implying it. Difference is literally not represented by the same category through history and space, but it's always the target of violence (whether emotional or verbal or physical). Dude, Nietzche totally had it! Who establishes what's moral? It's not rationality, it's majority. It's true that there's the biological drive to supremacy exists and will always exists, but it's too deterministic to think it's unavoidable *thus* acceptable.
I clearly am interested in some aspects of the book (say, her imagery, the adventure, the Slytherins materially, ie separated from authorial voice) but I think a lot of stuff sucks, too. And I just think telling someone they must either (sort of mindlessly) worship the whole either stay away is... kind of violent. It should be just silly, but it makes too much noise.
