Interesting anecdotes
My mind is blown
More to come
A good portion of German Mennonites are act in the way Boatsinker and A. Wyatt Mann depict the Jews, while looking like Hitler Youth posters.
Long story short: young man of about 25, from a family of 9 (4 biological siblings, 3 adopted siblings, two parents) revealed to me that his uncle runs an operation for scouting and training foreign doctors to work in Germany, mostly due to Germany's slowing population growth.
He worked for this operation in a mid-level administrative capacity, for the resume padding more so than for the pay. Major socio-ideological factors contributing to such things (and tell me if you think this sounds familiar):
-Foreign doctors, primarily from Desis and LatAm are just as trainable and effective as German doctors
(Interchangeability of man/egalitarianism)
-Nothing can be done to viably increase the native German population and the pool of medical doctors therein
(Demographics?Who cares?)
-In any case, they do not ultimately care whether this is positive or negative for Germany and Germans as a whole- or if other options may be better for them which do not include foreign migration, because (and he said this explicitly)...
...his family views their religious values and being promoted by such "good deeds" more than promoting the national identity of Germany, and view themselves in a sociohistoric narrative, a diaspora group often oppressed by the German people. (Intergenerational shoulder chips)
So naturally I looked, and found that just like Catholic Charities, various secular and religious Jewish groups, and even some Evangelical telescopic-philanthropy type missions, the Mennonites too have an outsized global influence in the Refugee scam

So let's recap: a small, tribal, diasporic, ethnoreligious minority has many members thereof proud of its disproportionate influence in upturning the sociocultural state of White-majority nations. Among outgroups, the more cynical members see egalitarianism, pluralism...
..and irreversible demographic decline, while among the ingroup, they utilize nepotism, see room for growth, and promote cohesion. Generally wealthy, they tend to subvert the host societies which allowed their current comfort. Why? Claims to relig virtue and historical justice.
To top it all off, it was admitted that non-practicing members of this ethnoreligious group from abroad were seen as conationals to them more than fellow citizens outside of this ethnoreligious group.

Down to the letter, this is how we tend to describe Ashkenazi Jews.
But once again: we're talking about blonde-haired, blue-eyed, square-jawed, tall and thin Mennonites. Quintessentially Huwite. Maybe it's something about diasporic identities borne of striking rejections of neighboring and host societies...
