Christian apocalyptic belief has been poisoning right wing politics in the US for ages now. Things like relations with Israel have been heavily warped by it.

I grew up with all of these idiotic Nostradamus shows and books that claimed he was foretelling the end of the world in our times. Of course his predictions were so vaguely worded you could slap them anywhere in history.
The book of Revelations is a feast for people who love to interpret symbolism.
Even the ancient Greeks used to complain that society was devolving. They talked about earlier generations being gold and now they've devolved to iron.
It is bad enough having gamers online foaming at the mouth like you just stabbed their mom when you make a mistake in a group.
Just need to do a dnf update on them all...

This is a misinterpretation of a study on peasant life. It called certain religious days "holidays". What it meant was those days were days they didn't have to work for their lord. Peasants were obligated to work a certain number of days per year on the lord's land. The other days they still had to work their own land. Agriculture was back breaking work and if you weren't working in the fields you were constantly working on things like making cloth, repairing things, preparing food, etc.
