Apparently the Amish are vile colonisers and should be killed but it’s not genocide, it’s “liquidation” of the “settler class”

Aren’t they like…anti-violence though? Like pacifist? As in they likely never killed any natives let alone their local Quaker neighbors?

Yeah. the Amish beards are a pretty defiant symbol of their pacifism. They refused to participate in war or violence, and mustaches Back In The Day (civil war era if I’m not mistaken) were all the rage with soldiers – like big handlebars and twirled ends. The Amish dudes “protested” by growing beards and specifically not mustaches (which they are forbidden to grow still) and refusing to participate or be associated with them.
