Harry Potter is the only theory they know, not even through reading, probably just from the movies and those wizard phrenology quizzes.
Don't be rude, they played the Lego video games as well.

Another factor that is very common in the western left is to treat suffering and extreme poverty as elements of superiority. It is very common in Western leftist culture to support martyrs and suffering. Everyone today likes Salvador Allende. Why? Salvador Allende is a victim, a martyr. He was assassinated in Pinochet’s coup d’ etat. When Hugo Chávez was alive, many sectors of the left turned their nose up at him. If he had been killed, for example, in the 2002 Coup attempt, he would be adored by the immense majority of the western left today, as a symbol of suffering and martyrdom. Since he continued exercising power as leader of a political process which, by necessity, had various contradictions, he was increasingly abandoned, as time passed — I don’t even have to mention what has happened to Maduro here.
They do not have an equal capacity of resistance, but this is romanticized. Western leftists like this situation of oppression, suffering and martyrdom.

(To be clear, I'm not saying an attempted color revolution is the same thing as a real revolutionary struggle - but I think of the above because of the romanticizing going on here.)
Why's it always gotta be Harry Potter, anyways? That's what I don't understand. Like even if it's just supposed to be "jingling keys" with a reference to a popular work of fiction, there were other media franchises aimed at under-18s in the 1990s and 2000s with globe-spanning lowest-common-denominator levels of popularity, there's no reason for Harry Potter to be the go-to.

But surely they've watched movies and TV shows or played video games or things like that, right? Do they need to do book references specifically?

I’m a bit out of the loop, are these protestors protesting against laws that reduce the influence of western-funded NGOs?
No, they’re protesting the governing party suspending a bid to join the EU despite polling being at roughly 76% in favor of the measure.
I never said they weren’t.
But they’re not protesting the NGO bill. That was several months ago.
