I’m more convinced it’ll be the Mormons. They’re far more tightly organized than the Amish.
The mormons in Chihuaha (mexico) are loaded, they have these huge communities that produce every food product, grains/vegetables/fruit/meat/dairy you call it.
Mormon settlers killed or displaced indigenous people and then immediately created a monopoly on all the trade and industries in the land they settled. The Mormon church owns a 100+ billion (with a b) investment portfolio and they’re one of the largest land owners in the US
From their inception, they’ve lived in very interdependent communities with each other. I think chapo had an episode where Matt talked about it. They basically combine grindset with a circlejerk, making their communities wealthier.
Interesting model if it didn’t have a racist space god at its core.
