Somebody called in the tip himself...

They genuinely believe the US is filled with millions of evil, lazy people on welfare who don't work and play videogames all day and collect $50,000/year in benefits...

Meanwhile you have billionaires like Elon Musk who pays people to play videogames all day for him, and they don't bat a fucking eyelash.... (I mean, by no means the worst thing musk does, but you get my point)

It's so insanely removed from reality

Had they gotten high enough to even be able to nose down though?

I have no idea what book series you read (or if you've read it at all) but you are...very off on this take.

Don't get me wrong, JK Rowling is a total piece of shit, but the books themselves are distinctly anti classism, "blood purity," slavery, misogyny, and a whole host of other things you listed.

Are they without any flaw? Certainly not. Is it okay if people boycott the media because of Rowling's ongoing transphobia? Absolutely. But most of what you've listed about the book series is blatantly untrue...

Yeah, I would wager that this is not really a generational thing (or at least, not a cutoff between millennials and gen z).

I'm a millennial and I guarantee there are plenty of people my age who would have no idea what op's question means...

The only thing I can hope for is one day, when I describe this to my kids, their reaction is, "What???"

Maybe it'll be grandkids...

Exactly. We can't just fucking go, "Whelp. All done." and let trump and Putin destroy the United States.

I mean, a society under the heritage foundation would collapse, so at least they wouldn't be able to write the textbooks? 🤷‍♀️

Or the guy moving things with "telekinesis." He covered the table with tissue paper and suddenly the guy's powers disappeared...

They systematically made millions of people fear for their lives. I'm glad shared that for a moment.

For #1, you're missing the bullet point:
