hence my username: people might think they can avoid such Puritan weirdness by simply dodging the furthest extremes: no, it saturates our culture, and the only way to avoid it is to be aware of it

Puritan

Unless you mean “Puritan” in the purest definition of the term as in “pure in ideology” and not as the usual nomenclature term traditionally associated with religious fanaticism then no, this is the complete opposite of Puritanism.

What’s happening here is the Marxist/Commie’s endgame: Examine humanity and every human action and relationship solely through the lens of the “bourgeoise vs proletariat” dynamic or rather “oppressor vs oppressed.” Indoctrinate the masses to see and look for oppression in every little area of their lives and cultivate a massive victimhood complex, eventually the anger and resentment of the mob builds up and boom you have your “revolution!” Everything is perfectly equal, no more power differentials or an acknowledgment of something higher and more spiritual than the “Eternal Material Struggle.”

Hope you enjoy your Brave New World, Comrade! /s
