    I guess all those gold crucifixes in European churches just appeared out of thin air

    Everything in the British Museum was bought and paid for in a totally consensual and mutually beneficial exchange

    America became the richest country in human history because of the Protestant work ethic

      Protestant work ethic is that others should work hard so I don’t have to. It’s slave driver ethic, management ethic, the ethic of bourgies who glorify the ideal of “hard work” as a reward in-and-of-itself (so compensation can be reduced)
