No, people who were already selfish get more conservative the wealthier they get. When they have nothing, they want everyone to share and help each other. As they get more of their own wealth, their true beliefs come out and they expect everyone to get their own.
Yeah, I never understood that one. I am not obscenely wealthy, but I’ve gone the opposite direction. I make combined over 200k between myself and my wife, and im more left leaning than I think I’ve ever been at any point in my life.
She was already very conservative during her upbringing. Her ‘feminism’ amounted to performative success for affluent women under capitalism. She has never been a progressive. She retconned her characters to minorities while doing literally no work to write the characters as minorities with the experiences of minorities. Feminism to her is an aesthetic.
She did later on, claiming that Hermione “could have been black” and that “she never specified her race”. As though being black was so inconsequential that it would go entirely unmentioned through 7 books (when other black characters absolutely did have their race mentioned).
People tend to get more conservative the wealthier they get.
So money happened to her.

Well, to put it bluntly, 200k is nice, but it’s not the wealth they are taking about.

Wait what? When did she retcon races? I feel like that would have thrown up red flags if I had read the those inconsistencies
