Since the decline of religion in the West, I wonder how many people who hate fun and the idea of anyone having a good time migrated from the religious right to the left? Just thinking about how much fun-hating and prudishness there is now among “liberals,” and realizing that as religion became less of a home for the fun-haters they must’ve migrated somewhere.

Don’t know how much of the liberal turn to illiberalism and such that explains, but probably some of it. The fun-haters are going to go where their weird obsessions are the most productive, after all.

Strangely, there are many people who are just completely incensed by anyone having a good time, and the liberal side used to just mock those types mercilessly. Now they are those types.
