no need to write an essay or anything

some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don't know what's serious and what's irony

Voldemort used a spell to track everyone who said his name, just like how the feds are tracking everyone who is critical of capitalism.

    Yeah its just like mentioned once at one point in the last book about half the way through after people keep somehow finding the elite guerilla force of 3 teenage wizards fighting against Voldemort and then it's just never mentioned again - it feels a lot like Rowling wrote herself into a corner with the stuff she gave the kids to make them hard to find and then just made up a bullshit reason for how the bad guys kept finding them so she could keep up the drama

    Lol I'm listening to a reread podcast and that's like, the signature Rowling move: anticipating some criticism of a relatively minor plot hole, and trying to get out ahead of it with the most head-scratching preemptive explanations that do nothing except draw way more attention to the plot hole and sometimes also destroy the logic of the setting.
