I know you're referring to Harry Potter, but my sentence doesn't apply to it because no one in Harry Potter actually tries to change the status quo. :agony-shivering:
Society is evil and does great harm to the main character and many of his friends, but one of the friends is more evil because he tries to do something to change the status quo - this is proven when he murders a bus full of children for no reason, convincing the main character that even though all life is sacred he has to be killed and the status quo has to be maintained.
The thing is, the US is a known genocidal empire. Don't get me wrong, I understand that it gives context, but it's pretty clear why a lot of people were sketched out by any amount of aligning with US interests.
Like if the US invaded Mexico and the Zapatistas aligned with them in any way, it would be... pretty fucked, no? Not a perfect analogy, but the point remains. Or if the US invaded India and the Naxalites aligned with them at all, the Philippines and the CPP, etc.
