i’m partway through chapter 2, “cult of the covenant,” and i’m thrilled to see RDB bringing up number one spiritual bastard john calvin and his pernicious (and perennial!) influence on settler ideology. RDB draws a direct line from calvin’s predestination ideology of “the elect” to white supremacist settler colonialism and moreover to the worship of the constitution and other aspects of the us government. this book is damn good.

fuck, i never realized that the “scots-irish” were initially settlers that the english foisted into irish land and then off again to turtle island. i am deeply ashamed of my ancestors in this moment. |
