    Then some fucking guy comes along and tells you the conditions in your perfect storm political scenario are entirely insufficient at achieving your goals. He says not only that your sole mechanism for exerting influence over the world is worthless, but also achieving your goals is dependent on subverting that mechanism entirely.

    That’d be like some non-Hogwarts wizard showing up in the final Harry Potter book, telling Harry that his ideology is bullshit and that the magic nazis will never stop returning while Harry’s a status quo magic cop, then shoving that liberal nerd aside and actually bringing magic to the people because magic eugenics is also a lie.

    That’d be awesome. sicko-wistful

      “Hey you know how there’s three spells that are way more powerful than any other that our opponents have no problem using, maybe we should stop fighting with one arm tied behind our back”

      You reminded me I need to check out Reign of the Seven Spellblades because, at the very least, some people here might really like it. It earned points with me by pointedly centering a Hermione-like advocate for “hey, maybe wizards shouldn’t do slavery to magical creatures” and not having her be brushed aside so casually.
