He replied coolly, “Voldemort did make full use of those resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Voldemort used them—but he used them in the wrong direction! He only deployed public opinion to spread his ridiculous blood purity doctrine and his own brutality!” Allen paid no mind to Quirrell’s disappointment; he stood up and delivered a thunderous declaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Revolution means gathering as many friends as possible and isolating as few enemies as possible. Voldemort was far too arrogant! He was already hidden in the shadows—he could have first used these resources to plunge British wizarding society into chaos, fracturing his potential opponents into countless tiny factions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell snorted, sneering, “Can public opinion and policy influence alone throw British wizarding society into chaos? Can they split the opposition? Wizards and the Ministry aren’t fools! Young man, you understand neither wizards nor British wizarding society!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one understands wizards better than I do! No one understands British wizarding society better than I do!” Allen immediately bristled, gesturing wildly as he delivered an impassioned speech across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood purity merely divides wizards horizontally into two classes. If I were Voldemort, I would use public opinion and policy to vertically split wizards again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were Voldemort, I would use public opinion to hype feminism, pushing the Ministry to enact feminist laws—this would create gender conflict among wizards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were Voldemort, I would use public opinion to hype homosexuality and push the Ministry to legalize it, further fracturing the wizarding community.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were Voldemort, I would use public opinion to stir racial tensions, fabricating cases of discrimination and oppression against Black wizards, then launch a ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement to split wizarding society along racial lines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were Voldemort, I would use public opinion to stir religious conflicts among Muggle-born wizards—most of them hold beliefs, like Christianity or Islam—and exploit religion to intensify their divisions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were Voldemort, I would use public opinion to inflame ethnic tensions—after all, Muggle-born wizards each belong to distinct ethnic groups—and use those ethnic divisions to fracture wizarding society.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, Allen’s tone grew increasingly forceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout, he had been secretly observing Quirrell’s reactions—and once again witnessed Quirrell’s dramatic transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From sneering, to shock, to terror—his expression changed in under ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Quirrell’s stunned, vacant gaze, Allen felt deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh. The life of a keyboard politician is simple, unadorned, and dull!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, Quirrell finally snapped out of his turmoil and asked urgently, “What is this strategy called? Tell me every detail!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen, meanwhile, took his time, sipping his water, arranging his cup neatly, then speaking slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This strategy is called political correctness—or identity politics. It is the signature tactic of a Muggle ethnic group known as the Anglo-Saxons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply put, it uses various identity labels to fragment the population. Originally all non-pure-bloods, they are now divided into countless LGBTTQ+ factions, each representing only minority interests, rendering them incapable of unity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meanwhile, class struggle is buried and ignored under identity politics. Non-pure-bloods, divided by identity, even ally with pure-bloods who share their identity. Result? Pure-bloods continue to profit; non-pure-bloods exhaust themselves fighting each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Voldemort had employed this strategy back then, the balance of power between him and his opponents would have been utterly reversed—his enemies could never have united against him again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Allen finished, he felt refreshed and invigorated. This grand orchestration of global affairs, this fiery rhetoric even gave him the air of a wise general with a feather fan and silk turban. What can one say? Keyboard politics is simply this joyful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the least surprised by Quirrell’s shock—this strategy was the very foundation of governance in his former world’s so-called democratic nations! The Lamp Nation had perfected it to an art. Quirrell, a backward wizard from an isolated magical world, would naturally be stunned by such a tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Allen suddenly felt thirsty again. He picked up his cup—empty. He was about to cast the Clear Water Charm to refill it, when he noticed Quirrell had silently appeared beside him, gently taking the cup from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me,” Quirrell said, his tone carrying a hint of respect for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took Allen’s cup, didn’t use the Clear Water Charm, but walked to the corner of the room and poured water from a kettle placed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh dear, it’s cold! My body can’t handle cold water!” Allen watched Quirrell’s actions and, for no reason, put on an exaggerated show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell didn’t grow angry. Instead, he summoned a tiny flame to warm the water, then placed the cup before Allen: “I look forward to your further guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen took a sip—the temperature was perfect. He savored it slowly; though it was plain water, he somehow tasted sweetness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke slowly: “I’ve merely spoken grandiose words, Professor—please don’t take them to heart. Today’s conversation was most pleasant. Next time, let’s discuss how Voldemort’s vision was too narrow. It’s late—I should return, or Filch might catch me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell readily agreed to Allen’s departure—he had much to process himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Quirrell even escorted Allen to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dim office fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the young voice spoke again: “Master! This Finis boy is terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, a cold, sharp voice finally emerged, filled with unwavering resolve:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Death Eaters need talent like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1098,"2026-06-20T16:09:23.977Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f61df61207fc4ca70c09950e6e9fbc74387e1de7387213e434283bb2ba3776e9","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-68","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-66",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
