I've seen Amish:

Burn chemicals and paints in a pile behind their shop

Have dumpsters full of plastic "sawdust" from a shop that makes plastic furniture

Rebrand cheap chinese electronics and batteries to sell in their communities (MillerTech)

Zip around on a one wheel

Ride electric scooters

Log out relatively pristine forest to make more farms

Log land that isn't theirs, without permission, for weeks before being discovered and confronted.

Vote down school levies repeatedly until the local schools shut down

Open a retail store in a mall

These days the amish button isn't nearly as great as you might think....still funny to think about how everyone would react though

100% for real. On top of the fact that the 4th panel would read:

POOF NO MORE HUMAN RIGHTS NO MORE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH NO MORE FREEDOM OF/FROM RELIGION

Agreed, humans are terrible, no matter our political or technological beliefs.
