I’m a progressive lefty who recognizes the problems with the “wokeness” of my side. But when grabbing a book like this, there’s always a concern that it’s going to be filled with terrible arguments and just an excuse to talk trash. Fortunately, this isn’t one of those books. Noah Rothman killed it with this book, and it met and exceeded all of my expectations.

I’m 36, and many of the woke folk are my age. It’s blown my mind that all these people seem to forget how we grew up, what we all thought was hilarious, and how we didn’t freak out over things that don’t matter. Now, everyone is so uptight, and that’s why I wanted to read this book from Rothman. In it, he relates all of the outrage culture insanity to the Puritan movement, and it’s uncanny to see the parallels. What’s even crazier is that the Left is supposed to be the free-spirit wild and crazy ones, but it’s like we can’t even have fun anymore.

I was worried this book would only cover comedy and all of the comedians getting canceled for current or old jokes, but it was so much more. Rothman covers everything from the clothes we wear to sex, to alcohol, and a ton of other topics. This book is everything, and I hope people read it and realize how damn silly everyone has become. Life is way to short to freak out about so many things and ruin relationships.
