They have more in common with the Manson family than they do with Nazis.
Ya know, the Death Eater storyline could have been a great exploration into the processes of radicalisation and how and why different people are drawn into cults or cult like mentalities. Instead we got the one dimensional, lazy storytelling of “Death Eaters are nazis”. As if there’s only ever been one group of villains who thought themselves superior due to their bloodline. The author should take a closer look at her own country’s aristocracy. A golden opportunity of storytelling, social exploration and character analysis was missed here because of overdone plot devices.
