    to be fair, some people see palestine action, or fighting for equality and think of us as hysterical.

    sometimes things accidentally line up.

      The difference between Palestinians and house elves is that Palestinians don’t like being in a concentration camp that is constantly being bombarded by its guards.

      House elves like being servile and the thing that struck Hermione the most is that many owners took advantage of their servitude by using them as a valve to live out their sadism. Hermione’s biggest flaw was that her goals were all over the place and it would have been better to just cross out the cruel treatment of the elves by pursuing a protection law similar to the law to “protect” muggles. Protect in quotes here because wizards and witches (especially the adult ones) are batshit fucking insane and care much more about their secrecy than the victims of the crime. Meddling with shit like health care and wages for house elves, which they don’t even want, is pointless.
