Yea they are all pretty nice.

Mennonites are originally of German or Dutch descent. A homogeneous community of purebred Germans. Basically Hitler's wet dream

I have a short book that is a first hand account of a large Mennonite effort to help north Alabama communities recover and rebuild in the weeks and months following the April 3, 1974 Super Outbreak of tornadoes. They sent many busloads south, including women who cooked and fed people and children who helped out wherever they could. Good folks.

That book is hard to come by, and I had to pay more than I probably should when I lucked up and found it online.

Yea I'm not saying they are bad people. Every one of them I know or have met is very friendly. They do a great job taking care of their own. For example, they lend money to members of the community to help build businesses. It's all interesting to me.

The Hitler comment was a joke but I will state I have seen a few 6' tall blondes with blue eyes that would make some men consider life without modern conveniences.

It’s their diversity that makes them so resilient


I was told by a tariff expert divorce lawyer that statements like these automatically mean you want to kill millions of Jews.

Regulations ensure that this stuff can't happen outside of enclaves like that

Is it bad that they did this?
