Indeed, and the witch-hunter's are incentivised to go looking for those 
to expose because that's their collateral they use to measure their 
value among the other witch-hunters in their social group.

It's the very reason why HOA's are so awful in the US.  The busy-bodies 
(i.e., the witch-hunter's who want to control everyone's lives) are the 
only ones who are attracted to the job of "HOA board member", and once 
they worm their way in, then things like "your trashcan, when stored, 
must be no more than 4 inches and no less than two inches from the left 
edge of your garage door" (a US HOA has rules almost this ludicrous, 
and they actually hire "snitches" to do nothing more than drive around 
the association property all day looking for any 'rules violations' to 
cite people for).

If there is anything worse than a 'concerned citizen' I have yet to 
experience it.

What's a HOA? On this theme, I found this video to be quite horrible, and 
at the same time, inspiring. It is about 5 minutes.

Homeowners Association. They're usually implemented in subdivisions or 
gated communities. They are mini-KGBs with block wardens to enforce vital 
regulations on the length of grass, color of trim, acceptable hours for 
outdoor barbecues, number of vehicles, and so forth.

They have a valid point. There were a lot of sewers, knitters, and 
embroiderers  in my family. Each new arrival was gifted with a handmade 
doll sort of like a golliwog. I don't think it impugns on my sexual 
identity to say that when I was 2 or so I loved my little 'Nigger Doll'. 
Yeah, that was the official title for the design.

In much later years Karine Jean-Pierre's curly black locks and head 
stuffed with cotton batting reminded me of that childhood toy.

Ahhh... ok, I know this thoroughly. It is the default swedish governance 
system for apartments. Very nasty! That is one reason why I do not want 
to sell my swedish apartment. The people there are actually ok. I have 
heard so many horror stories, I do not dare to buy another apartment.

The sad thing is though, that in sweden the HOA has veto on if you are 
allowed to rent out your apartment or not. They made it clear that after 6 
years, they will not be renewing my permission to rent out.

Nothing bad about a nigger doll. Only team Xiden can find the energy to 
get upset over something like that.

   HOAs are what the wannabe NAZIs join so they can
   sub-micro-manage and persecute their neighbors
   all legal like ....

   Never EVER buy a home in the USA somewhere there's
   a HOA. You're better off in some converted cow barn
   five miles out of town.

   HOAs should be illegal ... but supplication to them
   is often in small-print on the purchase/lease papers.

Got it! I have enough experience in sweden with this concept. It is not a 
pleasant thing.

That is a nice one.

Around here, they're known as "strata councils".

I've always referred to them as "Gestapos" myself, but "Karen 
Factories" fits better with more modern usage and understanding.

See, this is what fills me with hope for the US! Karen Factories should be 
loathed and hated instinctively!

In sweden, most people like the concept. Yuck! =(

Indeed, yes.

You'll find that the 'Karens' who live in neigborhoods who are covered 
by Karen Factories also tend to like Karen Factories.

You'll also find a fair number of folks who have not had to endure the 
trouble that a Karen Factory will create that think they also like the 
concept.  Of course, they are thinking of it as "my neighbor won't be 
able to start a lard rendering plant or glue factory next door".  Once 
they buy in, and get trapped, they learn that reality is that the 
Karens are measuring the length of their grass blades with a ruler and 
fining them $862.00 for the blades being 0.020 inch longer than the 
"approved length".

Logically I can only conclude that all of sweden is a Karen Factory. ;)

Yuck! It would not be good for my health to have such a person close by. 
Sounds as if it could escalate to violence fairly quickly if a Karen tried 
to measure my grass blades.

Apparently Karen is a DANISH name...

"Karen is a female name of Danish origin. It originated with the Danes 
and the Greeks and is a diminutive of the more formal Katherine. Karen 
means "pure," which points to the wonderful innocence of childhood and 
the loving, pure nature baby embodies."

Yah well, no, fine!

Ahh.. so that's where it's from! I always wondered, since in swedish the 
name is Karin, so I always wondered where Karen came from.
