Lol, what. Im three minutes in and its mostly been about jews and their stellar contributions to society and something about jews in america leaning left, and some modern campaigns being funded by jews and modern quaker groups. Then he says it was quakers who essentially decided you could decide what sex you are.
Umm what.
It was mostly about anti government, anti slavery. It had nothing to do with deciding what pronoun you use.
I feel pretty confident about this since my ancestor was part of this movement. Which ive pointed out in kia2, I guess that makes me part communist too since early colonial america was ran like a social commune. Which is exactly what they did in ancient frisia 2000 years ago. Community > than money or individual status. The anti thesis to royalty I suppose.
In Bowden’s History of the Society of Friends in America, it is mentioned that “two English Friends, named Christopher Holden and John Copeland came to Sandwhich on the 20th of the 6th month” of 1657[36] and there they found friends of toleration and resisters of an oppressive law in Daniel Wing, the son of John Wing and Deborah Bachiler, and grandson of Stephen Bachiler. Daniel Wing and his brother Stephen Wing and others resisted an oppressive law in the town of Sandwhich which publicly punished men and women by whipping, for “meetings at private houses, for encouraging others in holding meetings, for entertaining the preachers and for the unworthy speeches”. By 1658, Daniel Wing, with others who acted with him, became active converts and there were 18 families who recorded their names in the documents of the society. Writers of 1658-1660 said “We have two strong places in this land, the one at Newport and the other at Sandwhich; almost the whole town of Sandwhich is adhering towards them” and the records of the Monthly Meetings of Friends show that the Sandwhich Monthly Meeting was the first established in America.[37]
Those values that drove quakers to stand for the freedom of everyone and not just the rich, are still alive in their descendants today. Has nothing to do with promoting personal agendas and is more about following the spirit of god that exists in all of us. Funny thing for a agnostic to say, I know.
I also thought it was funny a british guy hating quakers though, since they prolly blame people like my ancestors for losing america.
After learning about ancient frisia, i have very little doubt thats where the wing family came from. The name itself being a testament of their faith.
3 minutes is not much time to judge from. I'm not saying I stand by the video's accuracy, but you didn't disprove anything that was said. They aren't claiming that all quakers are bad, but that their views led to ways of thinking similar to wokeness and that wokeness today is still supported by big quaker groups.

"Following the spirit" is a common excuse for supposedly religious people to impose their personal agendas. The video talks about that.
