i think about this a lot. but it’s hard to say something personal about it since i feel that even the catholics and muslims in the netherlands are influenced by calvinism. it’s not religion so much anymore but a deeply ingrained culture that you pick up from your environment: family, school, politics, institutions. the believe of predestination, living a sober life, working hard and be honest.
in politics you can clearly see calvinism revealing itself, for example when politicians say things like this i do not only think that they are racist cunts but also calvinist losers:
“During the crisis of the euro, the countries of the North have shown solidarity with the countries affected by the crisis. As a Social Democrat, I attribute exceptional importance to solidarity. [But] you also have obligations. You can not spend all the money on drinks and women and then ask for help.“ - Dijsselbloem
