Elizabeth Nickson is more radical than I would have believed possible not long ago. Two quotes from this essay:
It is why there are American flags at the marches, and why so many wear a MAGA hat. MAGA is world-wide now, it will take over the entire world, including China, including Russia.
The next twenty years are going to be transformative. With moral seriousness, work will transform. To the Puritans every person had a calling. A blacksmith glorified God through excellent blacksmithing. A mother through raising children. A minister through teaching. A merchant through honest dealing. This sanctification of ordinary labor was revolutionary.
The sanctification of daily life gives every individual a shining purpose.
Puritan virtue and rigor created punctuality, bookkeeping, long-term planning, delayed gratification, reliability, obsession with improvement. The sociologist Max Weber called this the “Protestant ethic,”
The deeper truth is that they believed God watched everything.
For indeed, He does.
That level of internalized accountability creates and recreates civilization very quickly.
This, the Puritan founding was the founding of America, the most critical moral imprint on the world since Christ.
Pie in the sky stuff, though I suppose I can admire the objective. I cannot honestly say I would be sorry if, as I expect, there is a Second Civil War and a Third World War.

Everyone, please don't include trackers. We don't need to know your real name.
