The opposition is already violent. The question isn't if it's going to be violent, the question is if the violence is going to remain unilateral indefinitely.
Fun story: When I was 17, I finished school before my senior year and decided that I wanted to go on adventure. I didn't really have any purpose but I simply wanted to leave home and explore the world. So I saved up a few thousand dollars from my job and then bought a cheap ass bus ticket for a Greyhound to New York. From where I live, it was noted to be a three-and-a-half day trip.
It was the craziest movie-like trip a person can possibly imagine. The things you see and experience are absolutely wild. You really experience a part of America that almost no one will ever see. Anyway, I digress; around two days in we reached Amish country. At the time, I didn't actually know much about Amish people at all, only the usual stereotypes and such. Here's the thing, though, when you're on a bus for days at a time, personal space and sleep are very precious commodities. You immediately pick up a few tricks and even form a little gang of like-minded individuals.
When we hit Amish country, with what little knowledge I already had, as well as some new information that I had been told, I knew that laying down and pretending to be asleep wouldn't work, because they would have no problem "waking me" up and telling me to move. So, I did the next best thing: when they boarded the bus, I instantly began hitting on the women. Yes, today that would be considered "problematic" — a display of "misogynistic harassment" — but it's not like I was legitimately flirting with them. I just wanted to keep my personal space, that's all. It ended up working like a charm, too. They immediately moved right back up to the front and piled into seats with each other to stay away from the gang in the back.
In retrospect, probably wasn't the "nicest" thing to do; however, I was young and terribly sleep deprived, so desperate times call for desperate measure. You know how it goes.
That entire trip was an adventure of a lifetime. I have so many stories and awesome experiences that happened.
Still no idea why they were using the bus to begin with but apparently it was something they did quite frequently according to people who took the bus often.
If you're on a DOT regulated road, there is no religious exemption for metal spike tractor wheels (you can't use them) and orange triangles on buggies (you have to have one).
I think if the intent is there in 99% of their life, it counts enough.
They aren't movie Amish pretending that technology and the outside world doesn't exist. Most seem to comply to the minimum to coexist with the rest of society and then go home.
Okay, so there was an incident I recall maybe 25 years ago where one omlet drove his metal spiked tractor down a freshly paved asphalt highway, doing roughly a million dollars in damages.
Now he went to jail for that, but then did it again when they fixed the road.
As far as I'm aware there is STILL an order up to this day that if the county sheriffs dept see him on a county road in his lifetime the supervisors want him arrested on sight as a public nusiance.
I think there is an amount of dickishness inherent with being Amish to begin with, so that checks out. Every single one I've met's personality STARTS at "old man who hates everything that isn't exactly his routine" and then goes from there.
But most complied, albeit begrudgingly, with any law or order when they are out in the world.
Imagine arguing the Amish do not have sincerely held beliefs.
The Amish.
These are the people who haven't used electricity in 300 years.
I'm pretty sure they are being sincere.
I’m tired of pretending this isn’t going violently
it isnt going violently, stop being a blackpill faggot. faggot
The opposition is already violent. The question isn't if it's going to be violent, the question is if the violence is going to remain unilateral indefinitely.
violence is the whitepill and the answer is to swallow it

Eh.....
It depends on the order.
I know this much:
If you're on a DOT regulated road, there is no religious exemption for metal spike tractor wheels (you can't use them) and orange triangles on buggies (you have to have one).

The bunch I know were dicks about it.

Honestly? That's hilarious.
I also see amish vehicles using electric turnsignals on their wagons on the road when they come into town.
certain counties require it in order for them to be on roads. Also those may be Mennonites instead.
mennonites are also pretty cool people.
productive, in touch with nature and reality.
they use some, but very sparingly.
