Fellow Gryffindor, Madison Ford from MuggleNet's Beyond the Veil Podcast joins me to talk about the place memory has in our politics (and in the Wizarding World's politics, of course). We talk about how the first step of indoctrination is ensuring the history we teach in schools, muggle and wizard alike, reflects the truths that those in power want us to absorb so that we cannot threaten their power with rebellion. That, however, is just the big picture of memory and the history we learn. Memory is something we should all have agency over, which is why emotional abusers often seek to rewrite our memories in order to control us, much like schools try to erase the memory of the reasons behind the Civil War. Memory, or a tale that we are told, is how we connect to the world and understand how it shapes around us, and how we relate to our reality. Madison and I also discuss the links between White Supremacy and Wizard Supremacy, and how Barty Crouch may not wholly reject the ideas of Wizard Supremacy, but the execution of those ideas by Voldemort and his followers (because he's about the law, and not morals).
