They are slaves. Literally slaves. And they enjoy it. What kind of cuck shit is this?
>>220030000It’s fulfilling for them. Dumbledore also offered them shekels and weekends off but they refused because they’re good little elves.
are they literally slaves though? i mean, would dumbledore really force them to stay at hogwarts even if they wanted to leave?
>>220030000>They are slavesI don't see any shackles on them or guns pointed at them.
>>220030000>They are slavesSo are most humans
>>220030000Are ants slaves? They labor under an unfair distribution.Elves have always been portrayed like this is European folklore, weird little happy laborers.
>>220030779Most "worker" ants don't actually do anything.
>>220030779No. Ants work for the good of their Hive. Elves in HP work for their home owners
>>220030779>>220030823
>>220030000before everyone saw everything as as a real world paralell and dividied everything into problematic or not, they could just be folklore helpers and it was a fun gag that someone tried to liberate them abut they wanted to stay bound.

In Harry Potter lore when two werewolves fuck during the full moon the female werewolf can become pregnant with regular wolf pups she carries as a human being
>>220030000>What kind of cuck shit is this?Guess you were fortunate and havent met anyone irl who all they know is work and toil and if you have no desire to also work and toil you are the devil himself. Theyve done more to normalize 9 to 5 than any slavemaster could ever hope for and they should all be killed on sight.
>>220032135>"KILL ME"
>>220030000>And they enjoy it.Yes, in liberal fantasies everyone is happy in their lot in life and don't want to change things. The "evil" guys and villains are always the ones who wish to change the status quo, like LOTR and HP.
>>220032456Based
>>220032922>liberals are literally the definition of conservativeWeird take.
>>220032922this
>>220030000It's a metaphor for goyim
>>220032955The concept of Liberalism outside of the US is a left/right of center group that's focused on mixing big business and government to improve society. If the US had a true Liberal party you would see people from both Dems and GOP join that group cause they're less focused on the culture war aspect of running a nation and more focused on the budget. They would support whatever the majority of the voting base wants. If the status quo is fine they'll oppose change and if people want change they will call for it. They just wanna keep the people happy and voting for them. Abe Lincoln would be typical Liberal. He originally opposed slavery not because of the moral reason but because it kept a what should be a paid job from a white man and even then he straight up said he would keep slavery if it kept the union together early on in the war. He would do whatever to maintain things and return to status quo. It was only later into the war and more horrors about what the South was doing to slaves became public did it shift to ending slavery and freeing the slaves because it was being pushed more. And then even after they were free Lincoln thought it would be better for them to be sent to Liberia rather than remain in America because he thought the two people would never get along and didn't want more conflict.
>>220033306Idc about the meta or fanfiction, but given one group wanting to stay the same, and the other wanting to change—the former is conservative, and the later is progressive.That being said, it’s not particularly impossible for liberalism to be a conservative position. Given that liberalism has set end points laid out during the enlightenment. If enough time has passed with it ingrained in culture, the progressives would be people trying to change away from liberalism, while the conservatives would be the ones trying to maintain it. Like how “conservative” or “right” no longer refers to monarchy, and “progressive” or “left” no longer refers to free markets, being against taxation, and being for individual freedoms.
>>220030000They're just oompa loompa knock offs and there was discussion in the literary critic circles about the slavery implications at the time, they just didn't bother rehashing those because Harry Potter shit isn't literature and not worth the time.
>>220033495Pretty much. The conservative party of the early US were actually calling for a monarchy and having Washington as the first king a new dynasty. Needless to say that idea wasn't really popular among a new nation that just broke off from a monarchy to be self-determining.
>>220033586the presidency is pretty much meant to be king for a term, we may go too far in some respects but the prime minister system has made europe very very weak
>>220031507>>220032214kek
>>220032826Someone has to keep civilization running.
>>220030000>They are slaves. Literally slaves. And they enjoy it. What kind of cuck shit is this?Meanwhile OP spends most of his waking time slaving away for some company. just in order to stay alive and be tolerated in society, until he is old and useless and has no energy left to enjoy his life.At least the elves enjoy their slavery and are self-aware.
>>220032826I haven't seen you post back home in a whilewhats going on? did you get banned? the dumbass from here that got mod powers was fired
>>220033607>the presidency is pretty much meant to be king for a termNope. The whole point was they were just an elected leader of the nation who had powers but also checks and balances mostly from the Senate. They even went with the title of President because it sounded less powerful like the president of a club. They really wanted to push the idea that the leader wasn't to be viewed as this special being like a king or emperor which sadly is exactly what happened as the US became the global super power since the 1950's.
>>220030000The reddit, twitter, and tumblr takes on HP are so boring. They are mythical creatures, based on our real world Scottish folk legend of Brownies. Spirits or goblins that perform household chores and vanish if you pay them with anything other than food. They aren't slaves, it's in their very nature to do the work, think of them as ants, bees, or dog breeds like border collies that instinctively herd other animals and even people.It's especially idiotic when people try to use it to dunk on Rowling as if she was endorsing or justifying slavery. She literally wrote her self insert (Hermione) attempting to get them fair pay and vacation time and proper clothing. But people also miss the joke of these things going against their very (magical) nature, as we see Dobby constantly struggling with overcoming the compulsions.

>>220030779Elves / the fae in european folklore are mischievous and cruel spirits that play with and trick humans, quite often to death or at least a horrible situation (being turned into a tree or stone for example)Santa's little worker elves is an entirely american creationhttps://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/inspire-me/what-do-elves-have-to-do-with-christmas/
>>220030000They were created for this purpose.
>>220034354I hate what they did to the Ferengi>yeah lol they were just misguided, the Ferengi have now embraced a social-democratic government systemFucking hack activist writers who think their pet politics are the one true system that everyone will naturally arrive at, once they get more enlightened
>>220034404The tale of the Elves and the Cobbler is German. I know they aren't exactly "elves", but maybe Jo got some inspiration from there.
If you have proper room and board, and aren't beaten or raped, being a slave doesn't sound so bad desu.
>>220034571The owners have no incentive to give you those things
>>220034695Profit. Basic human decency. inb4 cherry picked images of beaten slaves. Most slaves were treated well.
>>220034571People like you are the reason we will always have oppressive systems. The rest of humanity has to constantly drag and beat people like you into freedom because you have a submissive and strongman kink and it's somehow too much pressure for you to decided on what you want to do with your own life.
>>220034828Freedom to do what?
>>220034841If you are an adult, literally whatever you want, anon. As long as you are willing to deal with the consequences of whatever shitty decisions you make. You have complete free will. You can get off of this site right now and breed an army of crows and teach them to rob super markets for you.
>>220034828t. posted from my comfy western life whose rights were earned by the people that came before meWhat have you done to resist oppression recently anon?
>>220034841Be transgender
>>220034961> You can get off of this site right now and breed an army of crows and teach them to rob super markets for you.This is illegal. Slave.
>>220034962>What have you done to resist oppression recently anon?Nice try FBI agent>>220034996>As long as you are willing to deal with the consequencesThey won't put you in prison for long, the judge might even find it funny and just give you a slap on the wrist.The point is that you can do whatever you want including not breaking the law. You want to be a modern day Diogenes, you can find an abandoned storage container and do just that.
>>220034745Alright, want to be my slave? I have a nice shed you can live in and you get nice warm gruel every day, twice per day, while you work. You get an apple once per week if you behave well.
>>220035282>clean, waterproofed shelter with guarenteed food every dayThere's a billion people in the world who don't have that luxury
>>220035282What do I gotta do? Will you get me a slave wife?
>>220034961>If you are an adult, literally whatever you want, anon. As long as you are willing to deal with the consequencesSlaves have this same freedom.
i thought AI was supposed to be good by now
>>220035366They don't because slaves are forced into their servitude Even if this anon >>220034571 is happy in his bondage the nature of humanity means that one day he will want to make a decision that's antagonistic to his owner's will and he will inherently not want to deal with the consequences.
>>220035523>They don't because slaves are forced into their servitudeNo they aren't. They could choose to deal with the consequences of non-servitude. But they rationally, and freely, decided to be a slave because the consequences are too dire. Its the same formula everyone else works with. They just got shitty variables.
>>220034062kings can have checks and balances from the senate
>>220030298WTF, I'm an abolitionist now
>gnomicus brainwashicus, make these freaky little dudes enjoy their eternal servitude, ABRACADABRAIs this ethical, in wizardtopia? They're happy. I made them be happy with my magic.
>>220035587lol no they don't, there are millions of people alive right now that have been trafficked into involuntary servitude. They were freely moving about the world in one moment and in the next moment they are sharing a cot with four other men, digging ditches and paving roads, with armed guards watching and a local government that turns a blind eye to it all.
>>220035779They can choose death at any time. Like I said; they did the math and chose to be a slave.
>>220035816>live in forced servitude or be brutally murderedWe've got a real genius over here. Those two things are not choices anon no matter how many different ways you type it.
>>220035967>>live in forced servitude or be brutally murderedThat's life.
>>220034571If you have room and board and are raped, but your master is a sexy lady, slavery doesn’t sound so bad.
>>220036023Domina...please...I'm so tired...
>>220035967>Those two things are not choices
>>220035998>That's life.It's not, assuming you are living in a currently stable nation. No one has forced you into slavery, no one is trying to murder you.
>>220030000AI slop
>>220036226
>>220030000Hey, don't kink shame them.
my favorite part is how hermione is treated as a fucking nagging moron for objecting to and trying to organize against literal magical slavery
>>220034310brownies leave if they’re mistreated, but people beat and kill their house elves
>>220030000It's an analogy for civilization.
>>220039873They are creatures designed to be slaves and enjoy it it's like complaining border collies are used to herd sheep, it's what they are meant to do
>>220041664haha anal
>>220033669Mules secretly having mule supermacy by artificially making the enviroment survival of the mulest. No thanks, kill all mules.
>>220043598fucking loser lmao
