Separate of the Covid-19 pandemic, which is a different issue, what is with the deep pleasure that many “progressives” get out of cataloging all the joys of life that they’ll be forced to take away from everyone?

Demonizing travel, finding new and innovative ways to persecute the disabled, foisting fake food on everyone, etc. This isn’t an accident. These people, and there seem to be quite a lot of them, get some sort of deep delight and even elation out of making other people have demonstrably worse lives. They frickin’ love it, in other words.

I still cannot figure out why they are how they are, but this tendency is one of the main reasons I reject the dead ideologies of progressivism and liberalism.
