1/ How a Tiny Ancient Group Bounced Back from Near-Extinction Samaritans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Persecution dropped them to 146 by 1918. Today they number 900. Resilience through high fertility, endogamy, and adaptation as the following will show.

And yet again we are seeing another booming FSSPX community in Poland finding the need for a new Chapel. This is perhaps now the 6th recent example of such. The Post declares: "The number of faithful using the ministry of the Brotherhood in Warsaw continues to grow. Therefore, a new place for celebrations is needed in the capital. We encourage support for the fundraiser to purchase a plot of land."

***It should be noted that because of cultural reasons, the women of the "Amish" try to give birth every year and for as long as health allows," with very short interbirth intervals noted. - Therefore their completed fertility is probably in the range of 8-12 children per woman - The founder of the movement van Derkach had 16 Children and this is seen as an example to follow. gazeta.ua/articles/he-an…

@InfoAtJames If they have a name for their community, I dont know it. I just see them at public events. Between the accents, big families, and the ridiculous way the women present themselves theyre pretty easy to spot. Plus their kids go door to door asking if you need your driveway paved.

🇭🇺AN UNEVEN STYLE WITH GREAT POTENTIAL: Hungarian organic style came to be in the 1980s through the work of architect Imre Makovecz. It was a reaction to the state imposed modernism and the architecture draw inspiration from Hungarian Art Nouveau and National Romanticism.🧵

@InfoAtJames @sloping_ape_53 @amyoder Yes... I think a lot of the single family splinters and children fluctuate btw the different groups at least. But a few of them will have basically no one to marry if they keep splintering (which I suppose resolves the issue in a way). Anyway, they need to figure that out.

Fun Fact about Mennonites (especially the ones in Latin America) The Mennonites in Bolivia arrived in the mid 20th century and by 2080 they will outnumber the native Bolivian population. They’re German, Swiss, Dutch and used to be just a religious group but because they marry only Mennonites, they’ve become their own unique ethnicity and they BREED LIKE RABBITS. The Latin American Mennonites have 7-10 kids per family. For them birthing children is a sense of vocational duty. They have more kids so there will be more farm workers. They’ve been persecuted religiously in many different countries, and part of the reason they have so many children is because they have the mindset of earning their stay and freedom from religious persecution by being an objective net positive. When you see Mennonites emigrate somewhere, it is almost always because they were *recruited* there. They never move unless it’s to escape religious persecution or find another Mennonite group with more genetic diversity to continue growing their population. They are not a nomadic people otherwise. In the next 200-300 years, Central and South America will likely be majority white if this trend continues.

Latin America is the new frontier for Old Colony Mennonites. They are spread across 200 colonies with 200,000 people in a combined area almost equal to that of the Netherlands and twice that of Israel. Link to article below.

@InfoAtJames @sloping_ape_53 @amyoder Like 750 members (likely 1,500-2,000+ if you include children/unbaptized youth). But that small population is further split into like 8 non-intermarrying groups + 7 smaller groups with only 1-3 families! And they already split from the Groffdale before that...

Follow Up A Deeper Dive into the Non-Irish Population What does the breakdown of the non-Irish population actually look like? 2016: - The largest group was Other Whites (mainly Europeans and Americans), representing 72% of the non-Irish population. - Other Asians came in at 6%. - Other & Not Stated made up 14% of the total non-Irish population. 2022: - The non-Irish population jumped to 23% of the total population. - Other Whites remained the largest group at 43%, a significant drop of 29 percentage points from 2016. - Other Asians stayed consistent at 6%. - Indians became the second-largest group at 8%. - Africans now make up 6%. - Other & Not Stated surged to 36% (up from 14%).

@InfoAtJames @sloping_ape_53 @amyoder The only Anabaptist group I'm "worried" about regarding genetic diversity is the 'Reidenbach Old Order Mennonites'... they. Just. Keep. Splintering!!! And they had lower genetic diversity to start with than most groups...

@DemographicR @sloping_ape_53 @amyoder Of course you are right. Speaking of degrees I done Psychology and there is a psychosocial phenomenon known as Black Sheep Effect" that's explains a lot of that aversion the west has potentially for Amish, Mennonites etc but not unfamiliar groups like Polynesians

@InfoAtJames @sloping_ape_53 @amyoder The West has a massive aversion to endogamy, so I get the bias. In their defence, Anabaptist 'diversity loss' is largely resultant of war, persecution & migration. Cousin marriage is actually very taboo. + when you look at global data, they are similar to many indigenous groups.
