I am SO fucking tired of internet progressives blaming everything on 'Calvinism'
Calvin didn't do nothin to deserve all this blame he is just a child
Hobbes, however...
Guys this is something started by chapo fans by way of Matt Christman. This is fully on this very community. This is fully spiderman pointing at spiderman.
Noted Chapo listener, Max Weber
Max Weber's idea of the Protestant work ethic is not why people on tbe Internet use calvinism as a byword for bad actually.
I was making ✨a joke✨
First of how dare you, jokes are anti dialectical and idealist. You're basically a monster and I'm gonna call the cops.
Second I actually have heard people make that exact point seriously so I don't know what's real anymore.
I'll admit, I can't help pointing out when supposedly agnostic/atheist yankees are acting from a set of unexamined protestant christian assumptions about the world.
And
To be fair Calvin basically is at fault for the turn to material goods by American protestantism
I just think all these theological arguments are stupid - whether it's Dawkins blaming everything on nebulous 'religion', or people blaming the middle east on shia/sunni tensions, or the supposed incompatibility of Judaism and Islam, or blaming America on 'Calvinism'. They are dumb explanations.
It reeks of "Christianity was awesome until Paul/Augustine/Constantine the Great/Leo IX/Martin Luther/John Calvin ruined Christianity forever."
I did see someone here posf "Modern christianity is a perversion of the greatness that was the medieval Church" to some upvotes at one point. We get weird about religion
