Puritanism kills democracy, human rights, and free speech (remember ad hominem, cancel culture and doxxing which come as a bundle?)

A closed-minded person who sees all language in black and white with no exceptions. They are sticklers for one dictionary as their lone authority on every word. They are anal sticklers about language and they refuse to accept any new slang words as legitimate additions to a certain language. Esp., English.
The Scrabble buff was a "word puritan" and he refused to accept any coinage of a new word that was not from his authoritative source.

A person or people who listens to Rock music and will argue with others about the perfection of their favorite band(s) and will also argue that other bands suck.
Dude Jeff is such a Rock Puritan, he's always trying to tell me that AC/DC kicks ass but he refuses to listen to Zeppelin!

A modern zealot who seeks to live in strict devotion to being "politically correct" and is eager to police others using coercion, indoctrination or even force if necessary to adhere to what is (currently) dictated.
Paul, who had a neo-puritan devotion to being correct, danced up and down with anger as mask-less people walked by outside.

Neo Puritans is a revival of puritanism in modern day society.
Neo Puritans are people who hold strong Christian values and are usually very right wing conservatives.
They believe in strong morals, are very anti sex or anything sexual in the media, are against the gay community and marriage, pro life, anti drugs, are very pro traditional values and try and police people to not adhering to Christian beliefs and authoritarianism. They are against dressing in a way that is revealing of the human body, and usually police their children on old mindsets involving sex and religion.

"A Neo-Puritan yelled at me for showing my ankles in public yesterday."
"I had a Neo-Puritan yell at me for being openly gay with my boyfriend by standing too close to him."
