Lets face the consequences. Why in places where Protestantism and the Calvinist hell has won people have almost no sense of humor? In Germany, how can one laugh after 500 years of mind Austerity left over by Luther or, shall we just call it the transcendental brain anorexia syndrome consequences? Maybe the time is now, after the Jamaica coalition shipwreck, with a new anthem and some Rasta look?
In the Usa, where the situation is more mixed and uneven and thanks for the Jewish humor, who has a sense of humor in the Bible Belt, except for the rejects ?
Now, England is a story apart. They have a lot of sense of humor. Who can blame them if the local protestant church started and was born from a wish of the king- groom to re marry and even to became by necessity also a Divine Head Theologician Scholastic in a supranatural effort to conquer his bride ?
As for the Catholic kingdom and church, which was through history and is even now partly a Corporate Brothel with monetized forgiveness and rent seeking speculations, who of the people following this creed, after centuries, is not having and using a sense of humor as a mental cure, after all incredible things happening in there? At least there is some free will left there…
Martin Luther had some valid points when he decided to break from this Corporate brothel. Like, when a “sinner” comes to a priest for confession. He confesses anything, from murder to robbery and he is absolved, depending on the church current price list.
But slowly as in all complete systems which try to encompass all in a theory and God given practice, a sharia- a black box of the limit and consequences comes out.
The religious “propositions” or any all encompassing theory are always a vicious circle.There is no principle of falsifiability, as Carl Popper stated it.
So, the vicious circle of thought spreads in all directions.The all knowers start to make and give rules everywhere and the first to go are the Colors. The Protestants were the ultimate masters on sharia subjects and so, the colors as a sign of decadence, desire and bearers of the Original Sin were almost banned. Black is the new norm. Especially men suits, all crazy colored as in the middle ages, years from 1300 to 1400 (Europe,Mayflower did not reach yet the North America) there and before, were banned as a sin.No vivid colors, the men in black. A Global Uniform, a new order. The same goes for the women,maybe only some pastel or light colors tied to the woman status and age and similar were allowed.Colors and other signs of life were a sign of the sin and brothel. Austerity, which we can witness also in some other religions today.The history goes on, with the Ford black cars, first black phone, some modern art…..
And with the ultimate Bauhaus or international style architecture, no decorations, no window sill, or god forbid, no window shutters,drain rain pipes, all is on display, nothing to hide and the global data collection.The style was meant for the proletarians which are known for their austerity (!), but they sold it as International Style to the whole globe.Austere shit. You have nothing to hide. And it is cheap, no colors, all white or grey or black or other nondescript hue of something maybe shitty,no decorations, no skilled artisans, no arts and crafts, it costs less but there is a whole industry and crafts knowledge gone . Functional as a pretext. Calvinist dream.All over the world, that is why the tourist flock around the globe to admire this cubicles, isn`t it?
One does not notices at a first glance the whole sharia history behind it.
Just like the communist way of life, the Korea Kim Ping Pong, the same but just mirrored “godless” austerity,everybody waiting for a paradise on the dissolving horizon.
Yes, much worse than Max Weber writings on protestant ethics and capitalism.
From Protestant Austerity to caretakers and gravediggers.Men in Black.
So what to think about the ultimate, non redeemable predatory capitalist nature of the Men in Black of the Debt Driven Economy Collapse? A march of the penguins through the melting, sinking ice under their feet?
Just looking from the terrace, Witchdoctor saw a countless hues of green trees and bushes, hues of blue were towering in the skies above. Reddish, brown,Siena ocra and yellow earth colors were dissolving in the sun. Vivid red, purple flower beds, patches of lavender, daisies…The sea, from turquoise, Kleine Knip (Kenepa) blue to Paris blue… The White Mountains in the distance.
And on the Right, just in the corner, the Black Mass of Civilization was approaching, casting its sinister shadow on the Planet. The Earth was sinking in black.
