I think one of the reasons for the libsโ interest in so stringently and rigidly policing otherโs relationships is that they have experienced loss of power in almost every other realm that matters.
Itโs a way to feel like they are achieving something, โsavingโ people, when in reality itโs not helpful and mostly harmful โ and most harmful unfortunately to the very people they are โhelping.โ
Of course, some people just enjoy being busybodies and such, but thatโs always true. The increase must be explained some other way.
