Through extrapolation we will have 1 billion Amish by 2030.
If we can use their anti-consumerist culture to convert them into anarcho-primitivists, we can have a powerful ally.

It's worse than that: it's actually not that much different from anti-semitism on the left. It's ironic that there was a whole thread about it, but when it comes to the Amish, it's a-ok to completely shit on them. As someone who's not really religious but grew up with half of my family being Jewish, the rhetoric in this thread is pretty much what I used to hear some relatives from my non-Jewish side say (e.g. "durr hurr look at those Hasidic creepers with all their inbreeding," not to different from this comment right here: https://hexbear.net/post/66207/comment/679969).
Not to mention there's a lot of weird eugenic shit in this thread (e.g. a comment where one person talks about "modern solutions" if the Amish refuse birth control: https://hexbear.net/post/66207/comment/680090). Jesus Christ...
