    Shunning is a cult practice, this is one of the reasons I strongly dislike the Amish

      I like lemmy, but i miss reddits ability for useless hot takes to be downvoted into oblivion.

      So many people here really do think their hard line, no context opinions hold value.

      Something something forest, trees, shitty visibility. For fucks sake.

        The amish are fucking awful dude. Theyre a cult that abuses and beats women and children, treating them like property. They run puppy mills churning out dogs in gorrible conditions. Not to mention the rampant incest and inbreeding. Fuck their cult. They arent just “cute old timey people” tourists think they are

        But this isn’t a useless hot take… Have you ever actually encountered Amish people before?

        There are two things in the world I can’t stand. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.

        I mean I disapprove of their child abuse, etc. Shunning them would require I first be part of their life
