They’re like small minority of Christian proto anarchists (no priests no churches, occaisonal communes/intentional communities) who are extreme pacifists, but understand how imperialism, social murder and slavery is violence, constantly acting against it by non violent but radical means.

A bunch fled the UK to the USA to avoid religious persecution and them immediately got started to get themselves lynched for helping slaves escape and working with first Nations people.

That said Richard Nixon’s parents were Quakers and he was ostensibly one at some point, but he sort of drifted out of it in college before ever getting disowned (quaker excommunication). But he kept the ascetic aesthetic (Quakers don’t drink or smoke, wear fancy clothes etc)

I get what you mean but Quakers have been persecuted for pretty much always being on right side of history their whole existence.
