They Always Try to Ban the Best Things

I’ve noticed all the things those who want to control society say are evil usually are some of the best things:

Banned books
Rock music
Prince’s music
Disco
Dungeons and Dragons
Dancing
Movies
Entertainment
Days off from work
Love
LGBTQIA+ people
Trans people
Immigrants
Countries other than the US
Women
Femininity
Fantasy
Imagination

The list can go on and on.

It reminds me of the 1950s disk jockey smashing rock-n-roll records in a moral panic.
