Fun as an Enlightenment Concept

There's a pretty decent etymological history of the word "fun".

• 1400s -- fun = to fool
• 1600s -- fun = "to cheat/hoax"
• 1727 -- fun = diversion/amusement
• 1906 -- fun = mirthful sport (present usage)

The USA is basically built on the concept of "fun", it's in the Declaration of Independence:

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The colonies, and then the US were setup as an Enlightenment project--a distinct break with the dreadful trashbucket past of the old world (Europe) and the scammer priesthoods and religious traditions of the middle east.

In fact, one of the main characteristics of the Old World, even back to classical world days is "seriousness". Seriousness is a concept that's wedded to a hierarchical society. The "betters" keep the lowers in check by forcing them to believe in the hierarchy. There's dress codes and fancy hats and color schemes to keep people as cogs in some crappy machine. It's utterly ridiculous and it kept humanity retarded for centuries.

In modern times, this concept is currently returning, even in the USA via left wing retards. The neocons tried to bring it back in their sphere as well. Both of these groups are absolute shit, old world garbage.

The leftoids push their vortex of insanity via claims about victimization. They managed to get ever increasing political power via the civil rights act. There is always some new victimized and marginalized group trying to guilt people into giving them wealth and power. It's a variation on the various scams religious groups have used over the years. The lefties have created a non-stop tidal wave of nonsense that's quasi-religious like pronouns, and "training" at work.

The US basically demonstrated, over its history that this old world mind-fuckery and collectivism is trash. It depletes resources for dumb vanity projects--like building big churches, or wars. Individuals, free to pursue self-interest and "fun" outside dumb ass collectivist hierarchies create and produce. Minions slaving away for faggots in funny hats and inbred aristocrats just struggle to survive.
