Your distinction eludes me. When every book, newspaper, magazine,
movie, song and even private conversations must conform to rigid
standards I would say that's rather more than politics.

Right? It's not a question of right, it's not your right to feel the
force of gravity, it's just the way the way the world is.  You either
respect me or you don't, my wishes in the matter are irrelevant.

I agree, as I said before it was wrong of Hermione to try to trick the
Elves to become free.

We don't yet know but if Harry has any say in the matter Kreacher's
fate will not be pretty.
