The book: The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives’ War on Fun, by Noah Rothman
“Signs of backlash are materializing.”
Meat eating is considered a sin. Insect eating to save the world. Palatability isn’t even considered. Ridiculousness of insect burgers, which should be ridiculed.
Result: serious food shortages; freezing from lack of heat.
“Progressives against progress.”

Noah Rothman argues that the progressive left is closer in similarity to 16th century Puritans than the free-spirited, leftist hippies of the 1960s. By judging a person’s moral character based on their clothes, Netflix queue, favorite foods, and the sports they watch, they’ve managed to suck the fun out of everything. Noah shows us how we can fight back against these “New Puritans,” and ultimately, how we can live more meaningful and enjoyable lives by rejecting their oppressive judgments of moral character.
