The Moonies are already very good at luring Americans in, though.

i’d thought about posting “moonies with more americaner aesthetics” but worried it might be too confusing if more accurate

When I was an undergrad in the Bay Area in the early 2000s, these fucks were everywhere in leftist spaces. They would show up to regular socialist meetings and try to derail things into discussions about Jews and the Illuminati. Real-life wreckers.

Imagine patsoc wreckers, but as an actual real life cult instead of 20 weirdos and their sock puppets on twitter.

Idk…

The more I think about it, as a political movement, both the U.S feds and the Larouchites probably rely on each other, in some sort of unintentional, positive feedback loop…

La-Rouche—look at the name!

His paternal grandfather’s family emigrated to the United States from Rimouski, Quebec

His parents became Quakers after his father converted from Catholicism.

La-Rouche-isme is a Quaker-Quebecois infiltration, creating a fifth column for the inevitable Quebec-led Canadien invasion, they seek to make the yankee pacifist through quaker quack ideology, they seek to lull the yankee into an acceptance of Quebec names and ways.

this is all done under a thin communistic coat of paint, because as we all know Charles Marc & Frédéric Angle were secret sons of Quebec
