hopefully they get dismantled eventually. But they'd make it a bloodbath and they have way too many kids to take any action on them without disaster

How have they not been sieged yet

theyve actually been sieged multiple times since the early 20th century

Waco moment

they're like roaches, always spreading out and then repopulating in a new isolated commune

each time they become more militant, too

Like each woman in the FLDS has an average of around 8 kids

this is where the biggest communities are today

keep in mind they were all once centralized around utah. I wasnt kidding when I said they spread like roaches

we tried busting them up and it just spread them out

They're big brained

They must use no technology in order to avoid getting triangulated

they use VERY little

cars and guns

thats basically it

their sick fuck leader is at least in prison

and yes that girl is as young as she seems

bruh being a son of a polygamous father that must suck

Its honestly fascinating, basically when the mormon church reformed in the late 1800's, the worst of the church was booted out and formed the FLDS, and the best elements are what the church is today

the faiths side by side today are completely incomparable.

also yeah the sons of FLDS families are literally referred to as "lost boys"

because a lot of them end up getting kicked out of the communes and basically abandoned

due to the fucks leading the communes wanting to keep the female population much higher than the male population

most of those boys are fairly heavily indoctrinated and the mormon church has to sponsor de-radicalization for a lot of them

We try and help them settle into normal communities, but a lot of them are always a little strange and standoffish

Wait why do they need the female population high

For more wives

So "the chosen men" can have a large wife count

they're really disgusting

Basically, they dont want a population of disgruntled, single young men, especially in such a militant society

and they also want to keep their polygamist system together

Its typically the community leaders and people who've proven their loyalty through extreme acts that earn the right to wives

They're a genuine cult

Maybe not originally, but they absolutely are now
