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…
While we’re at it:
We don’t want Jews as allies (Hasidic problematic stuff).
We don’t want Muslims as allies (Sharia problematic stuff).
We don’t want Hindus as allies (Caste problematic stuff).
We don’t want African-Americans as allies (deadbeat dad problematic stuff).
We don’t want Hispanics as allies (machismo problematic stuff).

Yeah I mean the fact that people in this thread are saying “online doesn’t matter because it’s just a place to shoot the shit” is kinda boggling. Like if you’re just gonna shoot the shit, then not why not do it on r*ddit or some other place? They chose this place, so online shit DOES play a role in their politics.
