Reality and the rest of the world caught up with them.

Like look, I'm not going to pretend that everything about how society and such have "progressed" over time has been great. A lot of it's been pretty terrible. Globalism, faggoty mega corporations, LGBTQ+ agenda cults, massive surveillance and data collection, DEI and stock market bullshit, insane levels of immigration, etc.

And I also get that they wanted to just have their own community all to themselves, with their own rules and cultural norms. (Ignoring the old polygamy elephant in the room) The problem is that they both want to be part of the country and world while also wanting to be kept separate from it. They want the benefits but also want immunity, not wanting to be exposed to anything. It's a contradictory and untenable expectation, and ends up being fully hypocritical as they try to push their views at an increasingly national level, much like how the UK has been using OFCOM to try to force the rest of the world to capitulate to their idiotic rules.

The Amish by comparison at least manage to be somewhat consistent in how they separate themselves from the world's influence, and they don't try to push their views and lifestyle on others.
