The Amish and Nicholas Wade

I have a new column up at Taki's Magazine on the Amish as offering a new perspective on the controversy over Nicholas Wade's A Troublesome Inheritance.

Did you see Jonah Hill's hostage video on The Tonight Show? He stammered something or another about the praiseworthiness of the LBGTQ community--I don't think it's prudent to shift the Bs & Gs like that. This is how unfortunate accidents transpire.

You wouldn't know if there were any Amish intellectuals.

Yet another thing done by design.

Your most important point has been swallowed by an href tag - see the Ashley Montagu para towards the end.

Amish are very conservative, all-white, and anti-'gay' stuff.

So, why no hate by SWPL against Amish?

Too backward? Too weak? Too quirky? Too 'authentic'? Too isolated and irrelevant? In contrast, Evangelicals tried to engage the national politics. Amish just stick to themselves.

Maybe Amish should be compared with Hasidim more than with mainstream Jewish Orthodox.

Amish feed off Christian communities like Hasidim feed off Jewish communities.
Difference is Amish work hard, produce stuff, and sell to other Christians whereas Hasidim just take stuff from others. And Hasidim love to do fraud against goyim.

Movie depictions of Amish have been rather sympathetic.

I guess one reason is Amish, though all-white, are supposed to be pacifistic and anti-gun.

Amish are presented in movies like Austics were presented in stuff like Rain Man.

Here, the Amish are like the 'blacks'

What is the Muslim equivalent of Amish and Hasidim?
