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.

transphobiaApparently there was a white cis male character who had a fetish for bottoming while pretending to be an Asian woman.

The director went on a podcast and said thus was meant to represent trans people, that it's a sexual fetish etc

Also the director played the real Ned Schneebly in School of Rock.

Hamas is working with over a dozen groups on this, many of which aren't even Muslim

They've even got the Maoists and The Marxist-Leninists to work together!

Became a threat again.

Because the black panthers were enough of a threat to jail and murder a bunch. Similarly they put CPA leaders in prison during the red scare. And before that killing and arresting various IWW leaders.

The whole subplot is about how Jimmy doesn't fit in with the traditional legal class, he wants to run fast and do what he wants.

Jimmy also did such amazing work finding the class action, that he assumed everything he'd do after it would be similar homeruns.

I think it's hard to predict as these all have effects on each other. Like the USA could have continued social democratic reforms to appease it's strong labor whole snatching up European colonies in Asia and South America to subsidize the core.

And an anglo alliance might consider Europe lost and pivot to cementing their grip in South Asia and Southern Africa etc

The weird outcome is I think Imperial Japan would probably have at a minium a non aggression pact with Europe and possibly an alliance. Which is an enormous contradiction of Idealogy versus realpolitik. Possibly leading to an Anglo or US aligned Nationalist China movement etc
