Why Don't White's do as the Amish?

This is in a way a European preservationist forum or something like that right?
Not everyone here is like that. I am certainly not.

But I have to ask this question and I hope people can stay on topic. Why don't whites do as the Amish and start their own private communities and just continue to buy land? It is perfectly legal and you can have a modern closed society.

Again I am not a racist or anything myself, but I am wondering why they don't do that?

Because none of us want to act like it's the 1800s and be cut off from society.

I am not saying to live without electricity, I am saying to make a closed community.. that is based on your religion and culture and slowly buy more land to expand your area, just like the Amish do.

You can still have technology.

Amish get tax exemptions that make it viable to live like they do. I'm pretty sure they pay no taxes or very very little. No one else can do that. We have no "opt out" system in place in this country. Like Ron Paul says, it would be great if we could "opt out" and choose not to pay for this country while not receiving any benefits. But the Socialists won't allow it.

If you have enough people you can start a new religion.

That's why being a Jedi is a religion in the states.

Actually it isn't legal, unless it's done on religious grounds. People cannot be denied entry into an area because of their race. Left wing groups like the ACLU would be quick to file suit if a white community denied entry to non-whites. And the ACLU would hire blacks and others to attempt to purchase a home in that area, or rent an apartment. If they were denied, the federal government would be all over it. The Justice Dept would join in on the suit.

there is always a way to do this stuff, the Amish deny any outsider to enter their land and they don't have any land for sale there anyway, it's more like a community type thing.

anyway, I do not support this in anyway, but I am just wondering why no one has tried it.

I know that in Mexico this actually exists, There are "Private colonies" where only whites can enter and they speak English.

Because whites pay for the country. Other races see everything as subsidized and don't understand that all their subsidization come from whites taxes who don't themselves get any subsidization.
America is a white country. It was founded by slave owners. Whites shouldn't have to make their own communities, though they end up having to. I don't really see other races as legitimate occupants compared to a white person no matter their class.

A large portion of the U.S is overwhelmingly white anyway. Only in the large cities of the North, and much of the South do you find a significant number of minorities, with a few exceptions here and there. It would just be easier to migrate to one of the numerous 98% White communities that exist in the Mid-Atlantic States, New England, and much of the Midwest.

.... I'm pretty sure they pay no taxes or very very little. ......

The Amish pay taxes like everyone else including property, income and sales tax. Sale tax exemptions for farm ground and farm operaations related items are the same as normal.
They don't pay Social Security as it's seen as an old age policy and they take care of their own, and if self employed they aren't required to pay it. If they work outside the self employment arean they must pay SS like the "English". They also don't collect welfare or unemployment as it's a further extension of their self sufficency beliefs.

So much misinformation about the Amish is just hear say. I know many of them personally and they are just very hard working people trying to make a living and prefer their old way to the modern world. I admire them for sticking to their guns in many ways, but the way of life isn't for me. I don't disagree with thier ways, I just like many of the things in modern life a bit better.
