@equalisource.bsky.socialThe social architecture of #Amish society exhibits distinctive features. Leisure, work, education, play, worship, and friendship, revolve around the immediate neighborhood

@memsomerville.bsky.socialBut wait: aren't these folks living the ideal #MAHA life, hard working in the air on the farms...
How can they be vulnerable and not invincible in MAHAland?
They are used by anti-vaxxers and are also getting played by the anti-vaxxers....
@americanourstory.bsky.socialIn #Amish culture, the dialect is used mainly as a form of oral communication. It is the language of work, family, friendship, play and intimacy
@americanourstory.bsky.socialIn #Amish communities, the church district is church club, family, and precinct all in a neighborhood parish.
@americanourstory.bsky.socialIn #Amish communities, a bishop, two preachers and a deacon share leadership responsibilities in each district without formal pay or education.

@ivovynckier.bsky.socialThe French youths who burned their school should be forced to rebuild it.
If the Amish can do it in one day without electricity, so can they.
And let them use Maurice Jarre's music. Forget the rap they usually listen to!

This #semibased take from #StoneToss reminiscent of his #RedPanels work (when he was more libertarian) cleverly points out that the #Amish successfully practice a crude form of #socialism by living off the grid. It misses the point that #Marxism is global.
@equalisource.bsky.socialUnlike most modern religions, religious meanings pervade all aspects of #Amish lives. Religion is practiced, not debated.
@equalisource.bsky.socialWedding season is a festive time in #Amish life. Weddings are typically held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from late October through early December

@dustcircle.bsky.socialInside #America’ s Most #Secretive #Religious #Community
There are more than 300,000 #Amish people living in the #UnitedStates, all according to rules inherited from the #17thcentury.
Today their #wayoflife is under threat by the #modernworld.
@equalisource.bsky.socialEaster and Christmas holidays, for the #Amish, are centered around religious customs, family gatherings and quiet festivities rather than commerciality

@arty-san.bsky.socialPeople living around Amish communities know that they live a quiet religious life and don't use modern technology.
Suddenly they find out the government has put a lien on the land that feeds them and has been in their families for generations.
