#Puritan
pretending that your politics is separate from puritan theology was always pretty silly

that's where the idea of the chosen few with the 'right' to own and control the whole world came from

Calling feminists puritans cause we don't want porn to be normalized as it's a reflection of males sick fantasies about teenage and underage girls and it's harmful af makes no sense, what does being a puritan have to do with calling out content that violates women and girls

Your American zealot colonists attempted genocide upon my Cajun ancestors in Acadie. America is reverting back to puritan wasp roots.

My ancestor, Joseph LeBlanc had a response to British and Massachusetts Bay Company militia.

I was trying not to be nosy but I do want details. And yeah, people here are not beating those Puritan allegations ever. Obviously some if us are way mkre fun but still...

I mean "diet and exercise" were right there, and yet I see the economic value of GLP agonist drugs. "you could always improve yourself (this way that is time consuming and we make structurally more difficult than it needs to be)" is mostly Puritan work ethic holdover

you can find plenty of examples like this of americans taking pleasure in food - american christianity wasn't a monolith and even laura ingalls's massachusetts ancestors were likely anti-puritans - but there's no denying that puritan views on (not) enjoying life run real deep here even today

thinking of food as purely like, fuel that you have to choke down to continue being alive, is real American shit. puritan culture and its generational consequences

My guess is he aggressively misreads the entire thing, hyperfixates on the not-amazing prose as a way of bringing down the whole thing, and makes some bizarre puritan point about how this story “doesn’t handle CSA respectfully enough”

🚨The Heritage Foundation's policy of enforcing all Americans to become Christians & US society to go back to the dark ages enforcing Puritan Blue Laws fully closing US society, all US business, retail, hospitality, gaming, entertainment, sporting events etc down on Sundays for church & religion! 😏👇

if you're a puritan who demonizes nsfw, GET OUT, your kind isnt allowed here

I’m wayyyy too freaky for the average person but apparently a conservative Christian Puritan and also apparently ableist for thinking pedophiles need serious help

A subset of people will project adult frameworks onto a child, even when the work explicitly does not, Dogwhistles and “ironic” language will appear to test boundaries, Anyone calling it out early will be labeled “overreacting,” “puritan,” or “virtue signaling.”

My work here is done:

I convinced my 15yo, studying Puritan New England, to write about the period between the witch trials and the Revolution and how it provides echos and insights into what is happening now.

How did culture change from burning “witches” to fighting virulently for democracy?

This I do agree with. It's then coupled with the historical puritan value that sex is evil & lust is a sin, which it seems younger people don't have the context for, and becomes "If you do that you're evil".

the only thing that matters to you is finding a way to class him as a Good Person who doesn't have to go to hell

because liberalism is a puritan political ideology

Im not saying porn is bad or should be banned, im not some cookies and milk ass puritan by any means. Im saying I have a problem with watching too much of it when I get stressed and need to work on better ways to handle my stress.

Next we’re going to be told that Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files only when the guilty men say to each other: “Trump would heartily disapprove of what we’re doing,” or “Lucky Trump can’t see us, that Puritan would be horrified!”

This has been the history America since the first humorless Puritan stepped off the Mayflower.

Only the victims have changed.

This is not a uniquely American problem.

The much vaunted concept of "civilization" is predicated upon the strong preying on the weak.
