There is no Protestant work ethic, there is a Calvinist work ethic.
Martin Luther said to accept ones station in life, and do good work, nothing of get rich or die trying (Calvin).
What probably made "Protestant" countries more successful was that:
- Most of them had Atlantic sea access.
- They had a high literacy rate
- Swiss cantons dominated by merchants became protestants (not Swiss cantons dominated by protestants became merchants).

I do believe whites got rich by stealing labor and resources from others.
trillions of wealth taken from Indonesia now in hands of dutch banks.
trillions of wealth from africa now in hands of the French,
labor and resources have a price and whites took them without paying anything.
so whites are not smarter, they are just more violent and better at stealing. a barbarian behavior.

World domination was a consequence of Europe being better.
Europe being better was not a consequence of world domination.
Europe had hundreds of universities by the 1300s, all communicating, sharing and storing knowledge in Latin.
Europe invented the printing press before Columbus.
Etc.

Europeans nations got rich more or less independently of imperialism. No one earned more from conquest than the Spaniards and the Portuguese, thousands of tons of gold were brought over the atlantic on their ships. Yet they went from world powers to poor backwaters in a little over a century.
In any case it is only in the modern world under systems of morality only really taken seriously BY Europeans that conquest isn't a valid way to gain wealth.
Why aren't pathetic butthurt third worlders like yourself complaining about the Aztec empire, the japanese or the fucking MONGOLS?

>World domination was a consequence of Europe being better.
I disagree, world domination started because europe was a hell to live so europeans started to think about find new places to go and live.
if europe was a paradise then why they needed to go to africa, america?
>Europe had hundreds of universities by the 1300s, all communicating, sharing and storing knowledge in Latin.
Europe invented the printing press before Columbus.
all that knowledge didnt prevent the massive wars inside europe. even with all the university people in europe was still suffering.
euros needed to destroy hundreds of different civilizations around the world to realize they were wrong.
instead many other civilization were peaceful since their beginning.
so euro morality means nothing for civilization that never were as aggressive as whites. europe has been under continuous 3000 years of wars, Is that the famous euro morality?
>Why aren't pathetic butthurt third worlders like yourself complaining about the Aztec empire, the japanese or the fucking MONGOLS?
- the aztecs in their 300 years of history never killed as many people as whites nations did.
-the japanese got evil after copying euro customs
-the mongols did evil only once and their empire was divided and collapsed after 50 years , instead whites did evil so many times and their colonies existed for 400 years.

if protestants are so productive then why are they so poor?

Also the church considered loans as usury, so merchant class in catholic europe was non existent
