"Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces."-Étienne de La Boétie
If Sofia gets her way and North America in general falls that direction, I suppose Chile and Paraguay would welcome Americans with some sort of marketable skill.
"..and on Earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out...while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited Earth." -- Jesus of Nazareth
So they are inbred but not stupid inbred. They have the wherewithal to figure out the problem and do something about it without accepting outsiders.
BTW, is their offer still available? j/k

False. From what I've gathered this has been a constant story told in various ways in communities that live near Hutterite colonies.
It's a stereotype really. It's like how when someone mentions mormons, the first thing anyone says is "lol, he has tons of wives I bet".

The problem is that the Hutterites are largely isolationist, so they don't really have much of a chance to deny this.

Thanks liberty Eagle
I am a mid-west farmer, I make a livin' off the land,
I ride a John Deere tractor, I'm a liberated man.
But the rain it hasn't fallen, since the middle of July,
And if it don't come soon my crops will die.
The bank man says he likes me, but there's nothin' he can do
He tells me that he's comin' but the clouds are comin' too.
He ain't my friend:
And I'll ride again

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

The war is currently underway, if you are one of the adherents of William Lind's 4GW theory.
"In broad terms, fourth generation warfare seems likely to be widely dispersed and largely undefined; the distinction between war and peace will be blurred to the vanishing point. It will be nonlinear, possibly to the point of having no definable battlefields or fronts. The distinction between "civilian" and "military" may disappear. Actions will occur concurrently throughout all participants' depth, including their society as a cultural, not just a physical, entity. Major military facilities, such as airfields, fixed communications sites, and large headquarters will become rarities because of their vulnerability; the same may be true of civilian equivalents, such as seats of government, power plants, and industrial sites (including knowledge as well as manufacturing industries). Success will depend heavily on effectiveness in joint operations as lines between responsibility and mission become very blurred. Again, all these elements are present in third generation warfare; fourth generation will merely accentuate them."
The current battlespace is here:
"Psychological operations may become the dominant operational and strategic weapon in the form of media/information intervention. Logic bombs and computer viruses, including latent viruses, may be used to disrupt civilian as well as military operations. Fourth generation adversaries will be adept at manipulating the media to alter domestic and world opinion to the point where skillful use of psychological operations will sometimes preclude the commitment of combat forces. A major target will be the enemy population's support of its government and the war. Television news may become a more powerful operational weapon than armored divisions."
In summary - conflict occurs across the spectrum, not limited by location, and features a number of actors, with one side on the conflict (usually the side motivated by belief and not the state attempting to maintain control of territory) having a number of entities participating not under a central authority.
The military target is the legitimacy of your opponent to govern. Success consists of actions which decrease that legitimacy in the mind of the population.

Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
