You can argue that, but this would already be more deep analysis than described in your parent. I heard this take several times, and it’s basically “harry is a wizard, i. e. a superhero capable of anything, therefore, millenials want to gain everything without any effort, as if by magic”.
The “chosen one” trope is different. You can argue that Harry-Potter-raised people think of themselves as chosen, but it’s an old trope. You can as well say that all christian world is raised on it :)
- recuter 4y agoTo quote William Shatner to a room full of Trekkies: "Its just a TV show, get a life, losers". Good grief. :P He made an off hand simile about your favorite childhood book you don't find accurate and therefore he is Voldemort incarnate and literally wrong about everything. You're really only proving his point.

- nirimda 4y agoIsn't the point here not that Zeihan has the wrong idea about Harry Potter, but that Zeihan has certain conclusions he wants to draw and will force every bit of evidence until it allows him to draw those conclusions? It's really not about Harry Potter at all: to get caught up on the Harry Potter (mis)analogy just because it has a fanbase is really not getting to the meat of the argument.
